Scarves, The Latest Accessory

[Tilly2]

Today, I met a friend for lunch.

She, and I, both wore scarves, as did the rest of the 'ladies who lunch' gang who were in the same restaurant. We noted it and laughed about it.

When did scarves replace necklaces as an accessory? Are scarves the new necklace? Can I shelve my pearls?

Shelve the pearls anyway Tilly... I have about 20 + scarves and have been wearing them for years.... Mostly because I feel the cold around my neck... So more comfort than fashion

Was it Black and White, Yilly. Port Vale play Walsall tomorrow.

Only in winter Tilly , as Mazie said they sure do help keep you warm.

[Tilly2]

I like my pearls, Mazie. Twinsets and pearls ought to make a comeback.

Scarves have been fashionable for several years, tilly - it's not new, I've got loads.

[Tilly2]

Actually, Yont, I wore a black and white flecked jumper and a black scarf.

Well done!

Scarves are better for hiding wrinkly, saggy necks than necklaces are.

[Tilly2]

Who has a silk scarf? They drape beautifully.

[mazie]

LOL pearls always remind me of my old man... He thinks my dress sense is out of keeping with my years and would have me wearing twin sets and pearls. If he says to me "what the hell are you wearing?" I know I look OK :o)

[mazie]

Oi Daffy my neck's cold not wrinkly !

[boxtops]

I'd love a silk scarf, but I tend to have things that I can bung in the wash. (Also a scarf is great if, like me, you tend to spill your dinner down your front - wash the scarf, not the jumper)

[Caribeing]

Scarves a great fashion accessory, dress up a jumper or any outfit so versatile!

[Daffy6543]

I never said your neck was mazie, I was referring to my own. lol

[mazie]

Good recovery Daffy xx (and I'm sure it's not)

[Tilly2]

Scarves can bring out the colour of your eyes, I find. (Not that mine are black, by the way!:-))

I blame all the Xmas presents, hi Tilly

[boxtops]

I wouldn't wear a twinset if you paid me :-)

I remember my mother saying that when she turned forty (which would have been in 1949), she felt that all she was then expected to do was to put on a twinset and pearls and sit in the corner, she was past it. In fact, she took no notice, she went on to have another child at 47 (which was amazingly old in those days), and lived to 94, and the twinset never appeared - thank goodness.

Hiya, sibs.

I had three scarves, last Christmas. One, I hated and it went to the charity shop, the other two were lovely. Proper lady's scarves, silk and colourful.

[mazie]

Your Mum sounds great boxy... A bit like mine :o)

[Tilly2]

I have two cashmere twinsets and they are very elegant, I think. One is pale green and the other is wishy washy blue. I alwas feel really good when I wear them with a lovely silk scarf, of course.
