The office in which I work is always cold - even if I wear a sweater, I want another layer. Repeated calls to facilities have just been frustrating and wearing the same windbreaker every day got boring. Why buy cute outfits if all anyone sees is the windbreaker? This shawl was a nice alternative. I can wrap myself up in it and look good and stay warm too. Warm, soft, pretty - and I can even get some work done.
