Inspiration: As the days grow colder I often find myself reaching for a scarf or wrap to take off the chill. This wrap is the perfect size to toss in your bag when you need a little cover up. It can be used in a myriad of ways depending on how you wrap it. By adjusting the snaps you can make a shrug, draped top or shawl. The options are limitless! I always take one when I fly to stay cozy on the plane. It also make a great, easy to make gift to share with your girlfriends!
