Well, it's about time I spiffed up. I mean, I do have a book signing to go to in a couple off week. (I'll be signing The Walled Flower. If you're in the Rochester, NY area -- maybe you can come and say "HI!")
Now, I hate to dress up, but in the past couple of months, I've invested in several scarves. I have a really pretty purple and gold one (it shimmers), silver, a black-and-white floral. I even have a few knitted ones. (The one I made myself convinced me that my knitting days are over, thank you very little Mr. Carpal Tunnel syndrome.)
But what do I know about wearing them? Well, isn't Google just the best thing around. I found a video to help me out. (Although, come on -- NOT choice No. 3. The woman looks like she's trying out to be the bow on a Valentine's Day gift.)
So far I've successfully worn one of my scarves once. I mean, I went to a party and nobody laughed. In fact, a couple of other women were wearing very nice scarves. I felt like I belonged (and believe me, that doesn't happen very often).
Do you wear scares to spiff up?
I wear a scarf several times a week. A trip to Paris was what sparked my interest, and now I feel odd when I'm not wearing one. Yours sound wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI don't generally wear them to dress up. I just wear them to keep warm up here in Canada. I've taken up a renewed interested in knitting and crochet (I'm blaming Maggie Sefton and Betty Hecthman!) and so I've been making my own nice, thick scarves to keep warm.
ReplyDeleteI will have to try and find a few thinner ones for when the weather is warmer in the spring :)
