Knitted Scarves (The Accessory Trilogy)
Jump to: Newest in thread
I like a scarf. I have a predilection for scarves. I love the richness and 'inspirited' feel when wearing a scarf on an effervescently fresh autumnal day. A woolly scarf, a candy-striped scarf, a generously long scarf, a ridiculously short but quaint cashmere scarf, a cotton-rich indulgent scarf, a luxuriant wrap or shawl that exudes self-indulgence from noon until midnight.
A colour cacophony of every imaginable scarf takes pride of place in my scarf drawer. Join me and pay homage to the scarf. More so now as the autumnal nights draw in and we crave for that thermal embrace so obediently wrapped around our 'Gregory Pecks'.
This gentleman loves a scarf.
Did I ever parley about the scarf?
I have now. |

I do not have a scarf drawer. But I do have a scarf box, best to the glove box, and the hat box. There's pleasure in no only the wearing of aforementioned accessory, but also in matching it with other such wintery essentials. |

"Does a pashmina count as a scarf?
I love a pashmina on a night out, warm without being as cumbersome as a coat. They have to be soft and fluffy though, I can't be doing with itchy scarves."

A pashmina does indeed count! It falls under the aforementioned ^ "luxuriant wrap".  |

Can’t beat a Pashmina  |

I wear scarves all the time!
Trendy for work to co-ordinate with outfits. I also use some unusual ways to tie them
Pashminas are a classic fave and absolutely luxury
Soft thick scarves to keep the chill out
My most fav is a big wool wrap that has been all over the world with me. It serves as a cosy snuggled when you’re chilled to the bone on long haul flights. It’s currently serving as a coat of sorts since I can’t get my right arm in a sleeve! 
PS: scarves also make great blindfolds!!   |

Cøügs, do you ever use your pashminas to tie up your paramours?  "

I have bought a thick men’s Pashmina to go with my trench coat… I’m looking forward to wearing it out once it gets colder |

Your homework for this evening is to take a photo of this Pashmina and trenchcoat and set it as your avatar. |

She's loaded Winston. We cannot compete. She even has a signature Hermès equestrian scarf. |

I love a scarf too, Nero (no idea how I missed this 11 WEEKS AGO, but no-one needed a scarf in September, it was boiling, but I digress).
I won't talk about my favourite scarf as I'll sound like a knob (no-one can mention cashmere without sounding like a knob), so I'll go for sentiment instead: the best thing I inherited after my Grandfather died was his favourite scarf. I don't wear it, but I'll never be parted from it either. |

I've always been intrigued when a woman turns up in a scarf for that first date in the coffee shop.
Are they trying to say "Don't even think about looking at my cleavage"?
Or is it to give manoeuvring room so they can give a clear come on signal later by taking it off if they fancy you? |

I can't speak for women, but sounds to me like you're overthinking the humble scarf. Standing by to be corrected - perhaps I've been missing 'scarf on/off' signals my whole life! |

I think this is a very poignant post, YOLO. Thank you.
You're not a "Knob". Twonk, perhaps, but not a knob.  |

We two were privileged to have a personal guided tour of F and M on Friday. Top to bottom, floor by floor.
Nearly 2 hours of insider information and history of the finest of establishments.
No charge, simply the level of service the store is famous for.

It's amusing how a beautiful scarf can lift up a whole outfit. Or any accessory.
M has impeccable classic taste and completely upgraded last social outfit with a beautiful plain light purple shade scarf against his black coat and maroon waistcoat. I would argue he outshone me fashion wise without being ostentatious
