Scarves

You know...if I were to name one item of clothing than can do more for adding drama/femininity/luxury/fun/sophistication/youth/glamour/ than anything else...it would be the scarf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarf

A scarf makes a statement! And...it's a statement you probably want to make! Lovely yet modest. You can look hip, serious, exotic, younger, older, witty or ambitious at will. Need some ideas to get you started? Check out the following link: http://www.greatestlook.com/tyingscarves.html. I've never seen a woman wearing a scarf who I thought would look better without it on. They are just marvelous!

I'll never forget meeting an older lady (65?) in Bath, England at the American Museum several years ago. It was a stunning fall day, perfect. This lady was sitting on a stone bench on a path near where I was walking through the grounds. She was the most gorgeous creature I may have ever met. She had white hair and grey eyes and she had on a long brown skirt with a white blouse and some artsy jewelry and a scarf. After meeting her by chance that day, I realized...You can still be drop dead beautiful when you're old. I don't think we have to fade as we age...we can still have some sparkle.
