The 2005 Scarf Post

Recently I have been catching Project Runway on Bravo. The thing that is blowing my mind on this show are the two designers, Jay and Nora that sport scarves on there heads most every week. Not cheap bandanna's, but the 32"X32" silk scarves that ladies wore in the 1950's. I am loving this look people.

I've always loved to see a classy silk scarf on a woman's head. I guess its because I grew up watching Rhoda. How amazing did she look week after week? So chic, so fashion forward.

While in Paris a few years ago, vintage Hermes scarves were all the rage; even more coveted when in their original orange box. The price was almost as much as a brand new one ($295.00). Most were from the 1970's and frankly I wouldn't have been caught dead at a dog fight with those ugly, unflattering old lady prints on my head. I passed them by not wanting to waste money better spent in a great restaurant.

After watching Bravo, I'm ready to comb Goodwill's far and wide. If you plan on rocking a scarf as I do, please remember it has to be a 32" X 32" square. Also, I have noticed the designers wear it covering their ears with no hair showing at all.

Oh, I can't wait to get my hands on a couple of extra bucks! Goodwill here I come.
