The Cozy Comfort Of Fur Scarves
Author: Meryl Rougeaux  | Posted: 08-12-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 14 | Rating: (57)  (?) 
In much of the world where winters can be harsh and the prevailing winds send a chill down the back of the neck...warm fur scarves are almost a must.
Although scarfs can be found in wool, cotton, pashmina, silk, cashmere or some other knitted fabrics, there is no denying that the warmest option would probably be a fur. After all, these soft, cozy garments have been popular for centuries in most countries of the world. Even throughout history where the climates were fairly warm, these "fashion" statements were a symbol of wealth and prosperity worn by royalty and the wealthy.
The nice thing about a scarf, cape, coat or stole is that they are warm as well as stylish. They look almost regal and majestic. Worn with an overcoat or sweater, they add an extra touch of elegance. They can be thrown over the shoulder and wrapped once or twice around the neck or they can be brought around the neck from behind and tied once to hang loosely in front. They can even just be thrown over one shoulder in their most basic way to wear them. Either way their worn...the person wearing it will be noticed.
These fashion statements are most commonly made from mink, but can be made from other types such as fox, beaver, sable, otter, chinchilla, rabbit or even bear. Many garments made today are fake (faux) and are almost just as comfortable as the real thing. The faux or the real, come in all sorts of colors including black, brown, grey, reddish brown, white and many shades in between.
These garments tend to conjure up memories of Siberian winters or jet-setters or movie stars or the wealthy of the twenties as shown in some movies. However, they are still fairly popular, and becoming more popular all the time. Not only in Europe and in the East, but in many fashion circles of the West as well. More and more are being sold all the time.
Even though the genuine thing will last a long time and provide great warmth...imitations are quickly taking their place. In many crowds this is not seen as less luxurious, but merely more affordable and practical.
However, there is no denying the classy, elegant look of a fine (real) fur. It can be one of those things that really sets a person out from the crowd, either in a hotel ballroom or a fine restaurant.
So, what are the different choices of fur's available for the discerning woman and man? Well, the obvious are scarves, shawls, capes, stoles, ponchos and almost anything a person with an imagination could possible think of. And,they don't have to be 100% to look great. Even a just a soft collar can add elegance to a pashmina or silk shawl. Many also have nothing but rabbit or mink tassles or balls hanging from the hems of the garments.
Fur scarves look exotic, are warm, and make the person wearing it feel great. What more could anyone as for?

MY QUESTION: WOULD YOU ACCEPT THE FACT THAT STACY?S MOTHER DOES NOT CARE THAT STACY GOES TO THE 99 CENT STORE. PART ONE: THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY: Stacy buys blouses, sweaters and blazers at the 99 store and they really are gorgeous. She goes every other day and buys a few or more than a few. Yesterday she went and purchased about twelve blouses (both for summer and winter). This morning the following took place:Stacy: ?Mom I am going to go out for about an hour?Mom: ?To the 99 cent store?Stacy: ?Yes?Mom: ?You just went yesterday and don?t you think you have enough, you don?t have enough storage room, it is becoming obsessive. I don?t care how much of a good buy it is?Stacy went anyway. She went to get the three blouses she left behind yesterday. When Stacy came home her mom was reading a book and then they both decided to have lunch.After lunch Stacy went to check her e-mail:Stacy: ?Mom I received the email from Annie? (Annie is Stacy?s cousin and her mom came into Stacy?s room to hear about the email)Mom: ?Ok what did Annie say.?Stacy: ?She liked my message about the book?Mom: ?So what did you buy today?Stacy showed her mom and her mom loved itPART TWO: UPDATE THIS HAPPENED TODAY: They were in Kohls. Stacy buys pants, coats, in Kohls but sweaters, blazers and blouses at the 99 cent Store. Here is the conversation:Stacy: ?Mom after we leave here I am going to see what they have at the 99 cent store, do you want to go withme?Mom: ?No I don?t but you can go. Why don?t you wait and go tomorrow - I will drive you over since I have to pass that way any way?Stacy: ?Well I was going to go today?Mom: ?You don?t have the money, I mean even if it is a good bargain?Then about an hour later when they were homeStacy: ?Mom do you care that Igo to the 99 cent store?Mom: ?NO, DEFINITELY NOT, but you don?t have to go twice a day?AND HERE ARE MORE THINGS:BACKGROUND: Most of the time Stacy (54 years old) goes ALONE to the 99 cent store to buy the clothes. Sometimes she will go with her mom (in her 80?s). When Stacy goes by herself she always comes home with the gorgeous stuff (items from Talbot?s, Old Navy, etc) and her mom loves the stuff that Stacy brings home. When Stacy goes with her mother her mother comments.HERE ARE THE THINGS HER MOM SAYS NOT ALL AT ONCE BUT AT VARIOUS TIMES(1) That is short, you don?t like short? (when they are at the 99 cent store)(2)?Look it over to make sure it is in good condition? (when they are at the 99 cent store)(3) ?I only told you that it didn?t look good because you weren?t sure if you liked it or not? (when they are at the 99 cent store)(4) ?Even though it is gorgeous I like the other one better if I was going to wear it?(when they are at the 99 cent store)(5) ?I do love that turtleneck you picked out but thick turtlenecks bother me? (when they are at the 99 cent store)(6) ?I only told you what I thought because you asked me if I liked it or not? (when they are at the 99 cent store)(7) ??But you don?t have to be obsessive. I mean it isn?t like you don?t have anything to wear?? (AT HOME)(8) ?You just went? (AT HOME)(9) ?You are not working right now you have to be careful with your money? and her mom will first say that the 99 cent store is NOT included and then when they fight her mom includes the 99 cent store.(10) Aren?t you going to be hot in that blouse. It is going to be a hot summer day 11) Well what you are wearing is not nice. I cant let you go out of the house like that?*she said this when they were fighting (12) People should wear what is appropriate for the weather? she said this when Stacy said well what would happen if I wore a material that might not be cool for the summer(13) Buy what you want, and I buy what I want but you don?t have to talk about it.?(14) I buy the food, and I am supporting you. But do you realize you are rubbing it in(15) I am working I cannot go to the 99 cent store or Kohl?s or any place like that to shop. You are home and shopping. I mean you talk about shopping constantly. I don?t want to hear it anymore(16) I don?t care what you buy but you don?t have to talk about it. They are pretty but again I don?t want to hear about it. When you get a job you can talk to me about your jobHOWEVER, WHEN STACY GOES BY HERSELF THIS IS WHAT HER MOTHER SAYS WHEN STACY COMES HOME:(1) ?I love what you got - I want it.? (AT HOME)(2) ?I love that and I am going to take that from you? (AT HOME)(3) ?Get me that? (AT HOME)STACY AND HER MOM WILL SAY THE FOLLOWING WHEN THEY ARE AT THE 99 CENT STORE:(1) ?Mom you always make comments? which her mother replied: ?I am allowed to say something and I am allowed not to like something?(2) ?Mom I feel you would have said something about the ones you loved that I brought home if you had come with me on those outings here? which her mother replied ?No I wouldn?t have because they are beautiful. And it is your problem if you feel this way, not mine?(3) Her mother also says ?You really lack self-esteem?(3) Her mom also says ?You know Stacy sometimes you tell me you don?t like an article of clothing I buy, but if I really like it you could stand on your head and I wouldn?t care if you liked it or not because I do.
