Why Every Woman Should Own an Elegant and Fashionable Shawl

Last fall, I was browsing a table of marked-down clothing when I noticed a woven piece of cloth tucked away in the back. I unfolded it and saw that it was a pure pashmina shawls with lightly fringed ends. Its design featured pale blossoms and leaves, on a swirling, copper background, like a rich tapestry. I had never bought an accessory like that, but I took a fancy to it. I draped it over my shoulders and instantly felt warmer and more elegant. No one else had one like it! Over the next few months, I got used to reaching for my lovely shawl for so many occasions. The office where I work is annoying drafty, but wearing my shawl to block out the icy winds, I’m comfortable and stylish at my desk. And when party at night and the air is a little chilly, my flower-scattered shawl is just the right touch – lighter and less bulky than a sweater. It beautifully matches my clothing, from my chic “little black dress” to my everyday knockabout jeans and turtleneck. Who would think that a shawl rescued from a Sale bin would become such a stylish and treasured fashion item?
