Significant scarves add flair and panache

Dear Babyboomers
Re Isadora - My feet were not made for dancing - an early aspiration was to be a ballerina but since at that age and stage, I was built, according to my parents' friends - Grrrrrr, like a 'front row forward', this didn't happen. I didn't know what a FRF was but somehow knew it wasn't where I wanted to be. Besides I inherited the family trait of large feet......


However, Isadora and I share shoulders and neck (more so these days) made for wearing scarves.
I have worn significant scarves seriously for the last two decades or since Pashminas made a statement, with the beginning of a more stylish method of draping. (Long scarf folded in half, placed around the neck, then the two ends threaded through to sit at the neckline.)


Since then they have adorned my wardrobe, (taking up 1/3 of the valuable space), allowing a neutral overall hue for basic garments. They embellish and enhance with their splashes of colour, softness and flattering draping, or add flair and panache.
This week, I enjoy your creative use of colour, texture and drapery to enhance our neckline and decolletage.
