I wore this as a wrap on my father's 90th birthday party. The texture is wonderful feeling to wear and it is remarkably warm in air-conditioning! I love the slight unevenness in the color and thickness of the stripes which gives them a more lively look.
Oh yes, if I don't pin this to my body, with a brooch, my female colleagues would " borrow " this, permanently........the first time I walked into the clinic, with this wrapped around me, eyes followed me everywhere.....
I just opened the shawl, this am, planning on taking it on your next cruise, will not take much room and it's warm, will be an asset to my cruise attire, and I'm sure I will be using before that...
