One multi-colored silk scarf from a silk factory in the area of Lake Como, one muted purple scarf from Venice and black and purple polka dot trouser socks from Milan!My friend, Deena just arrived home from a wonderful vacation in Italy. She hiked the Dolomite's, swam in the Adriatic Sea, visited Tuscany, Florence, Lake Como, Venice and Milan and still had time to buy gifts! She tells me everyone in Italy (both women and men) are wearing scarves. I'm unpacking and ironing my new and old scarves for my Italian connection!

ReplyDeleteback in high school (you know how far back that goes, tee hee) my "signature" look was a small scarf knotted at my throat under my preppy blouse that i cant recall what you call it.
Just the other day I was wishing I had a few scarves to wear for the first time in many years. I think I ditched most of them 6 yrs ago in the big move.
