Weeding the scarves was one thing on the "to do" list. I love how some women effortlessly and elegantly wear a scarf. I'm not one of them.
So, with that in mind, I was ruthless about purging the scarves. However, one made me pause.
This is a scarf (probably rayon) that I found among my Dad's things when we cleaned out my folks' house. My Pop was certainly not an ascot and smoking-jacket wearer and so I doubt he ever wore this scarf. My guess it was a gift from long ago--1940s or '50s.
It's hard to tell from the photo, but the colors in the scarf are picked up in the Jackie sweater. There's also something retro-looking about both. I think I'm going to have to learn how to wear this scarf!

That scarf is gorgeous--you've got to keep it. You CAN become a scarf person. Use the Web to figure out how to tie it if you need to--but keep it!
I second that. Keep the scarf! I love retro fabrics. (Along with retro songs.) When you figure out how to wear one, let me know. Think I missed that lesson way back.
The scarf and the sweater go lovely together. You will have such a wonderful experience wearing something that brings you thoughts of your dad.
Kismet, I'd say. Looking forward to seeing the finished combination. (And that site is a find; I'll be bookmarking it for the rare days I get inspired to tie one on, myself.)
It's a gorgeous scarf! I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll wear it.
You will look so elegant!
I love the pattern in that scarf and it will be just the think at your neck. Everyone above has already said it better: Keep and Enjoy!

That will look great with that sweater. :)
That scarf is lovely and made more special since it was your dad's. :)
You'll look awesome in it :)
