I am a firm believer that every woman should have a “statement” piece in her closet. An item of clothing or a piece of jewelry that just says (in so many words), “BAM!” A piece that makes her feel fun and beautiful and unique and special. A “standout” piece.

You know exactly what I’m talking about.

This ruana (basically a fancy name for scarf kimono thing) is exactly the type of statement piece I am talking about. It’s soft (ohhhh so soft), lightweight, bold, colorful, fun, beautiful, and takes a regular outfit of a black top and jeans and makes it FUN and really makes it pop.

This ruana also came in a gorgeous pink color but it sold out super fast. BUMMER. But seriously. This ruana would make a great coverup for the beach or pool, it’s great over a dress, jeans, you name it. It’s basically the greatest in the world.

Okay, small exaggeration, but you catch my drift. 

What do you think? What pieces do you have in your closet that make great “statement” pieces?
