Ambling through the mall, an exercise I have not entertained in recent months, my friend and I were privy to the Fall collections touted in the windows. The Tommy Bahama store had an unusual display, but one which made me think I might have some new wardrobe choices at home!
The window advertised throws – you know – the kind that go on the sofa or chair – not a full blanket. However, the mannequins were wearing them as shawls, even though they were clearly labeled “throws.” I stopped because I wondered why the figures were draped in home decorating attire in the first place, because they clearly were sofa throws. (Not that I haven’t pulled a Maria-from-the-sound-of-music-Scarlet-O’Hara-gone-with-the-wind drapery stunt a few times.) Then it dawned on me.
We can wear blankets this season! No need to worry about your outer gear – just toss a blanket around you and head on out. You could probably use the one on your bed if it’s not a king size? As a bonus, the only closet you need to clean this Fall is the linen closet in your search for fashion.
Perhaps the designers were out of commission this past year, too?
