The $10 hack saving shoppers on pricey beach accessory
The weather is warming up and beach days are on the horizon, so of course plenty of us are thinking about additions to our summer wardrobe.
Take a quick look through social media and one thing is clear, the sarong is the must have beach accessory of the season.
But thanks to one woman's Kmart hack, you don't need to fork out close to $100 on one, instead there's a great option sitting in stores and it's just $10.
Watch the video above.

The large shape of the scarf and the lightweight fabric make it a great option for a sarong and the best part is the range comes in five colours.
There's the white and black polka dot design, a red and pink floral design, a chocolate gingham print, a pale blue Chintz design and a zebra print scarf.
While it is not an option on the website, Kimba also showed herself tying a black with white polka dot design scarf on herself in the store.
With so many options you could almost buy one to match every swimsuit, meaning you've always got a perfectly coordinated look.
