scarves/loveher

Hi there. I have so many of them that it is hard to tell you which ones are best. I get compliments on them all the time which, when you are bald, feels pretty good.

I would suggest looking at the wardrobe, seeing what colors predominate and buying a couple scarves in colors that are close. It is funny that I now get dressed by what scarf I will wear and what matches it.

They are sooooooooooo soft, especially after one washing... I love the pink and green one; the purple and green one; the teel and blue... I only buy 30 inch squares, fold them in half, tie in back--once, then turn the knot to the side of my ear--finish it as a bow and pouf out the loops... ahhh, the ultimate gypsy look... westswon

I found the website despite the typo and ordered 4 to try - great pricing at $14.00 per. They look so bright and cheerful as well as the added comfort and washability of cotton - can't wait until they arrive.

scarves

Hi again Rebecca... I hope you like them as much as I do. When they come, they will smell like madras used..I wore them anyway..then washed them...you have to cut the tag off because of our babuska wrap manuveur--on the side.
Anyway, silk scarves will not stay on my head so bless this woman. She started the website after working with cancer patients at a Boston hospital...
If you find that they do the trick, do you think we should ask the folks on this site if they would want to tell others about them? Having bought just about all the hats on the Amer Cancer site and a wig that was very expensive(hot and itchy)--these have really saved me. I have to dress professionally and they are fine with pantsuits. westswon
