A knitted cowl. Cowl's are fantastic. They keep you so warm and don't have the hassle of a full length scarf. This particular cowl has two buttons to hold it on.

These earmuffs are the softest, warmest, and most comfortable earmuffs you will ever wear. They keep the wind out and cover your whole ear. Great for days when you don't want a hat mussing up your hair!
