The Silk Scarf

I read an interesting article recently about the history of silk scarves. The article tells me that Audrey Hepburn once said that "When I wear a silk scarf I never feel so definitely like a woman, a beautiful woman." 
.

Silk scarves have been around for centuries. I like to wear one to add a bit of colour or interest to the office wardrobe. Don't think it necessarily makes me feel like a beautiful woman, but it definitely makes me feel like a woman. One shall hope!

One of the most recognised and popular silk scarves is of course the legendary Hermes silk scarf. During the Christmas season Hermes boutiques in Paris sell one every 20 seconds. What's interesting about them is that they actually have a scent.
