80s, Revisited





This scarf reminds me of my parents' house (and their friends' houses) decor in the 80s. The colors scream "I got the latest and greatest in colors!" in the 80s, like avocado/brown/orange said "This is the 70s". Mauve, Hunter Green, and that periwinklesque blue. I could see this being a scarf Lily Tomlin would have to buy for her boss in 9-5 (I am still convinced that scarf that ends up on Dolly is a Vera!). Not saying it is without charm: I will always love floral on silk. You really cannot screw that up! But the addition of an overlay of darker mauve paisley? So 80s!

Rectangular scarf of mauve silk with blue and green floral design, darker mauve (puce?) paisley design all over. Hand rolled blue hem, signed in darker mauve, no ladybug. 36" X 9"
