Patricia letter - gradient winter scarf
A Letter From Patricia
I'm 64, and one soft scarf made my plain winter coat feel brand new.
A long, soft winter scarf with a rich color gradient, a paisley pattern and playful fringe, to wrap around your neck or wear over your shoulders as a shawl.

Every winter I wear the same camel coat. It is warm and it is sensible, but by January I am tired of looking at it, and every photo of me from December to March looks exactly the same.
My old scarves did not help. The wool ones itched my neck, the thin ones slid off within ten minutes, and the plain grey one made me look even more washed out on a cloudy day.
What I wanted was one soft, warm scarf with real color in it, something that would brighten my face and make that same old coat feel special again.
The day it arrived, folded in tissue paper.
That is how I found this winter scarf from Eliza & Maren. I chose the orange, the warm red-gold one, and my sister immediately asked if she could borrow it.
Here are five little things that make this scarf worth a closer look.
Soft enough to wear all day
The pattern and the fringe up close.
The fabric is soft and smooth against my neck, with none of the scratchiness I know from wool. I wore it from the morning walk to the grocery store and to lunch, and I never once wanted to take it off.
So soft against my neck! Finally, a scarf I can wear all day without that itchy feeling.

Color that lifts a plain coat
The colors melt into each other, from warm red and orange to gold, with touches of teal and purple along the edges and a paisley pattern woven all over. Against a camel, black or navy coat it brings color right up to my face. People notice the scarf, and then they tell me I look well.
The colors are absolutely beautiful! It makes my simple winter coat feel like something brand new.

A scarf and a shawl in one
It is long and wide enough to wear two ways. Outside, I wrap it once around my neck and let the fringed ends hang down. Inside a chilly restaurant or at church, I open it up and wear it over my shoulders like a shawl. It stays where I put it.
I love that I can wear it as a scarf or a shawl. So pretty and practical!

Warm without the bulk
It keeps the wind off my neck, but it is light enough that I do not feel bundled up. When I get too warm, I fold it up and it fits in my handbag. No more carrying a heavy scarf over my arm all afternoon.
Warm without feeling bulky! It fits easily in my handbag when I don't need it anymore.

A gift that feels personal
Worn as a shawl before dinner with friends.
This is the part I love most. It comes in two colorways, the warm Orange and a cool Blue, so I ordered the blue one for my sister's birthday. It looks far more expensive than it was, and it is one of those gifts she actually wears.
The orange colors are even prettier in person! I've already received so many compliments.

The older I get, the more I believe small things can change how a whole day feels. A bit of color near your face on a gray winter morning is one of them.
This scarf has done exactly that for me. Same coat, same walk to town, but I feel brighter, and I get compliments again.
If your winter wardrobe could use a little warmth and color, I think this one is well worth a closer look.
