My son bought me a beautiful scarf for my birthday years ago. I still have it and I love it! A colorful scarf with a square design and frill hanging all around. It feels silky soft and I like to wear it with a coat just draped around behind the collar and hanging down the sides in front as it is fairly long. I can actually wear it with several different garments because of the colors of blue, green, yellow and red. Sometimes I wear it with a a blouse or dress wrapped around my neck in different ways. I even wear it as a belt with some dresses. This scarf is almost big enough to wear as a blouse, a summer blouse I mean if you wrap it a certain way, but not quite. Well it might be now since I'm at the weight I was as a teenager. I think it is a mixture of cotton, maybe spiced up with some rayon. Not sure but it is as soft as velvet and really pretty. Sometimes I wear scarves tied around my neck wet on a hot day if I'm out and about but this one is too long and the material would be too hot. I have really gotten a lot of use out of it for years and will be able to use it for years to come. Then if it gets faded or worn looking I can still use it as a cloth cover for a small table. I'm a real recycler. There are many ways to recycle it if I want to but If it becomes too frail I'll probably put it away as a keepsake. It doesn't take up too much space.
