It was July and quite warm. I mentioned this to someone and she explained that the scarves serve as a wrap in air-conditioned offices, in addition to being a stylish accessory. Since that time, I've adopted the scarf as my go-to accessory. My husband tells me that I don't need to buy anymore, but I beg to differ. So many scarves- so little time.Kristien62https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141776821818167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-83503915634983954842013-09-10T13:08:50.099-04:002013-09-10T13:08:50.099-04:00My husband and I lived in Montreal for 6 months, a...My husband and I lived in Montreal for 6 months, and couldn't get over all the beautiful young women.
