My Feel Good Scarf

I was up the road at lunchtime buying a birthday present for a friend when I came across this gorgeous scarf.

This winter I have decided I would like to add scarves to my wardrobe.  I only have 2.  A lovely black merino scarf, very practical, and a grey, embroidered wool scarf.  I have been looking around but found nothing that takes my fancy.   There is always some reason I don’t really like it or wouldn’t end up wearing it.  I want my scarves to add personality to my outfits.

When this scarf caught my eye I was exciting and then when I checked the price tag $22, I was hooked. It is a printed cotton velveteen scarf in a rich red colour, that is prevalent in my wardrobe.  I checked the colour against my face in the mirror (very important to make sure the colour compliments your skin tone).  It looked great, how exciting.  The scarf was also available in a beautiful turquoise colour, which didn’t look as good on me.

I wore my new scarf today for the first time. So far my chiropractor’s receptionist and 2 work friends have complimented me on the scarf.  So now it’s also my feel good scarf and every time I put it on I will know how great it is.
