The more I thought about it, the more I regretted not picking up an acid-green scarf while I was in Antwerp and Amsterdam, where it seemed like a full-blown trend spotted on the most stylish women who passed me on the street in both cities (Brussels is justifiably worth visiting for its glorious art nouveau architecture, but edgy fashion - unless it's from Antwerp or Paris - is less visible) [Related: My photo album from the trip].
A week or so ago, a friend and I were having lunch on the Lower East Side in New York and popped into the American Apparel shop afterwards to take a look at the scarves (their green scarf is pictured in my original post on the topic). The color was all wrong for what I need: too kelly and cotton, not enough chartreuse or texture.
Imagine my astonishment and delight, then, after getting off a coast-to-coast flight last night and putting things away at my hosts' lovely home, to discover the perfect, slightly ombre, linen, absolutely acid green scarf procured for me (after reading about it here) during their recent trip to Vienna, where indeed, it was also the rage. Brilliant.
