Anyone ever shop through them or have any experience? I am madly in love with the necklace scarf Tricia posted on her travel jewelry blog, and I think I may also gt a scarf for Mom's stocking, and possibly the godmother, but have never heard of the company outside of that.
They are actually located in Indianapolis and have invited me to come for a tour at their facility. :) From everything that I have seen so far, they are a really terrific company. The parent company is "Affordable Style" and they own Affordable Scarves, Sunglass Warehouse, Inexpensive Watches, Handbag Heaven, and a few other properties. We featured the Sunglass Warehouse cat eye sunglasses on our Twilight site last month and got great feedback.
I totally looked over this in the new merchant section. I love pashminas. They are the only scarves I use, even though I have others. It looks like they have a good selection at a good price. The ones I saw at TJ Maxx the other day were about the same price, but a little heavy and narrow for my tastes. All the ones I clicked on on Affordable Scarves were at least two feet wide, the solid color ones were 29" wide.
I think pashminas make great gifts. I use mine not only to wrap around my neck, but also pull over my hair if the wind is blowing or it's snowing (with enough length left to still cover my neck well). And my favorite part about them is that I can use them as a shawl if I'm somewhere my winter coat is too heavy for, but my shirt is not warm enough for (like restaurants).
Discovering this site was a great way to start my day :sunshine2:
Can I tempt you all a bit more if I do a cash back increase?
Thanks, Tricia! Woohoo! Now to decide what I want...Quote:

They ship USPS, which I love! I think 5 dollars for shipping is a steal, but if you order over $40 shipping is free.
Here is what I ordered...
Abigail Crinkle Pashmina in Burgundy/Red

And the Solid Color Pashmina in Dark Green

I got my order today! They ship very quickly! I placed my order around 1:45 and had a shipping confirmation in about half an hour. Since it ships USPS and I live just around the corner, I got it today!
Both scarves were folded in individual plastic bags. The green pashmina looks just like that picture, is long, wide, and light weight - just how I like them!
The Abigail Crinkle pashmina is a little narrower and shorter than the solid color one (but I expected that based on product descriptions). I didn't notice it in the picture, but the fabric has a subtle swirly design in addition to the crinkle of the fabric.
The Abigail Crinkle also comes in brown and tan in addition to red. It's on sale for $10. It would make a great gift because it's a little fancier than the solid color pashminas, but isn't a fanciful pattern that may not suit someone's taste.
Oh no! With the cash back increase how can I resist?! Temptation too strong! :rotfl: I love so many of them, now to narrow it down!
My fashion goal for this fall/winter is to learn how to style myself with scarves. I think I might make a visit to that website if things are on sale and there is increased cashback...
I am a complete scarf noob. I purchased my first one a week ago (in a store) and looked at different "how to's" online to figure out different ways to wear it. Scarves are such great accessories and I think look so great on people. Now I'm hooked and will purchase a few from affordable scarves. I think if you're planning on wearing it around your neck (like in a 'mound') the loop scarves would be easiest to do.
Maybe we need a fashion section and we can post how to style ourselves with SR merchants. I see a fabulous post featuring scarves in the future.
Oh, I so have to check this site out!! I was wondering what to get for my nieces for Christmas...this looks like it could be the perfect gift!! Is there increased cash back??
I wouldn't call this fashionable...I would call this my babushka look. :rotfl:

In all seriousness, I'm all about function, and pashminas give me lots of function!
You look so cute and cozy!! :)Quote:

Thanks for posting this link! It definitely helped to see all of the possible uses for scarves and how to tie them as well! You describe me to a tee because I like scarves, on other people, and have wanted to try them, but I have been clueless how to achieve the look. I will definitely be checking out Affordable Scarves!Quote:

Can't wait to get them.
I ordered that glam rock necklace scarf-it's soft, big and of good quality. I also ordered my mom a plain scarf for her stocking.Quote:

Anyway, I noticed on the SR click-through page that it says 20% off sitewide sale, expiring Nov 26, but when I get to their home page, all I see is the 15% off sale. Is there a code to get the additional 5% off or am I just overlooking something? Thanks!
Oooooooops. My fault! You should not have seen that yet. ;)Quote:

I may have to place another order...I ordered 4 sscarves already, and the one I ordered for me is my new favorite!! Very nice quality and they arrived super fast!!!:clap:
Which is your favorite? I just ordered 4 today--3 as gifts for the girls and 1 for me. And they already shipped!
I love the necklace one that you posted. Tomorrow, I'll link to a YouTube on how to wear an infinity scarf that taught me this cool knotted look thingy.Quote:

My first order I got 2 of the crinkle Pashminas that were on special for $10, the scarf for me (it was a black/red and tan Pashmina, and it matches with everything!!), and a scarf for my dd to give her frind for Christmas. This is the one I just ordered last night for my niece:

The ones I got are great quality and the prices are incredible!! I'm anticipating this one to be even prettier than it looks on the site...all the others were. And I couldn't believe how quickly they shipped!
Just got my order that I placed yesterday! I got the pink and gray tshirt scarves, a fluffy pink one, and the cream rock star one. But they all have to be wrapped up to go under the tree. BOO!
My order arrived yesterday and I was very pleased! I ordered three for gifts and one for myself too :)
For gifts, I bought the Trisha Leopard, Cecilia Vintage Plaid, and Daphne Plaid. For myself, I got the Jenny Leopard.
They are very nice and I am pleased with the products. I was concerned the Daphne Plaid might be itchy, because it is acrylic, but it is not at all scratchy and is quite soft.
Now I just gotta review the video on how to tie & wear them as I am a total scarf newbie!
You all are BAD influences!!!! :rotfl:
I placed an order this morning and it shipped this afternoon.:angel:
I bought one of the loop ones for me. I love it, been wearing it daily since it arrived. Oh, I also bought two other items as gifts. :angel:
We don't have it up on SR, but they do have a 20% off sale going on right on their site today.
Another 20% off sale today plus increased cash back. We used a couple of the scarves this weekend and I decided immediately that I needed to order a few more, so I am happy to see this!
One of my new favorite sites!:)
Just posted! Today only, get 15% off scarves plus an increased 7% cash back from SR. Scarves are a great way to inexpensively update your wardrobe for fall. My tween daughter LOVES these! And I do have a couple myself. :)
Thanks for posting this Tricia.
I bought myself a scarf last year that I LOVED and I lost it one day at the mall. :( But, they still have it and I was able to replace it at 15% off and the SR credit.
Love this site!
Any chance of another cash back increase soon? :) I need a bunch of new scarves and I would love to get a few to give as gifts this year for Christmas. :sunshine:
