Charity shop challenge: the scarf or the necklace?

Charity black turtle neck scarf

Back at the charity shops again this weekend. I found this black M&S turtleneck (£5.99 at Oxfam). Plain, yes, but oh so versatile. But I can't decide. Do you like it with this tapestry scarf (£4.99 Oxfam)?

Charity black turtleneck necklace

Or this multi-coloured bead necklace? (£4.99 Oxfam)

Actually, after looking at these photos again. I think I know which one I prefer. How about you?

    Is there a way in fashion that could make anyone wear both of them? Perhaps there is a way scarf could be wrapped around the neck and then the necklace is visible around it.

    I think it would depend on how chilly it is outside, but I prefer the necklace.

    Agree – the scarf. But if you wore it with a lower cut top (one without a turtle neck) you could do both! Cheap at half the price!

    Another vote here for the scarf!
    I have a friend who is always picking up amazing bits and bobs in charity shops, but I can never seem to find anything worth having! It must be a skill!

    I actually like the necklace, but then I’m not renowned for my fashion sense…
    I got a rather lovely French Connection black handbag in a charity shop last weekend. It looks like new! I’m jolly pleased with it.

    scarf! Not very original, but I think it is clear…

    What i said was – Definitely the scarf. If you want to do a necklace, you need a longer, chunkier one. (Says the fashionista over here sitting in ancient jeans and huge cable sweater. Oh yeah baby…)
