I love scarves. Absolutely cuckoo for them. I think a lot of people my age think a silk scarf may be a little mature and pretentious. But I don't care. They add a touch of class and charm to my outfits. I would much rather wear a simple black turtleneck or white dress shirt or trench and jeans and dress it up with a scarf than wear the latest trendy monstrosity. Yesterday, I wore favorite scarf that I purchased in Switzerland for 20 francs. (I'm still yearning for the grand dame of scarves, Hermes. Un jour. . .)
I'm somewhat particular about what I like in terms of colors and prints: navy, beige, hunter and kelly green, equestrian themes, etc.
I also have a love affair with pashminas, but they are not all that weather appropriate now. So, I think I will just throw on my silk scarves when I feel bare.

You wear it well!
I am getting scarf happy these days too. I think as I get closer to France I get more excited about the opportunity to wear a scarf each day.
Oh, and Franco-fille, the Gap has a very light weight gauzy pashmina like scarf in great colours. It is a great weight for warmer weather.
Thank you for the compliment! I will have to check out the Gap's selection. Thanks for the tip.
That's a lovely foulard! It looks wonderful on you. (I share your love for the traditional and equestrian themes.)
Thanks deja :)
