The Vera Company blog

Most women I know like scarves, but are confused by them. Including me. But really, we aren't French, and we don't come from money, so it's unreasonable to expect we'd have any inborn ability to understand The Scarf.

For this reason, I need to give a shout-out to The Vera Company's blog. Posting is somewhat irregular, but does include detailed instructions for imaginative scarf usage.

The Vera Company is a revival of the original textiles/fashions/housewares concern founded by Vera Neumann in 1947. Fuzzylizzie put together a nice history of Vera, too.

Vintage Vera scarves are available at many thrift stores for less than bus fare. That means you can hold out for a good silk one with a representative print of bugs and/or flowers. You can also get one eBay or etsy if you're impatient:
