Every month, I am going to post a lessons learned so that you don't have to learn it on your own.
This month, I am going to teach you all about the importance of traveling with a scarf.
Some people (aka: my husband) think I may be a little nuts about my scarves, but he doesn't know how many times one has come in handy for me. Ever since I spent a night in the Atlanta airport in a sundress, I learned the importance of having a scarf with me. That scarf that I bought in a Pull and Bear store in Belgrade was a life saver. It was fate that put that scarf in my hands... Okay, so I do sound a little melodramatic, but I was very very happy to have that scarf in my bag when the Atlanta airport temperatures dropped drastically on a summer evening. I believe they do pump that air conditioning to the max at all times. Once the masses leave the airport in the evening, the cool air really begins to feel COLD.
I travel with a scarf. I like to bring a silk or wool scarf with me, depending on the weather. I have a bunch of scarves that can match my color theme of that trip. Sometimes, my scarf doesn't match anything I wear, but it doesn't keep me from wearing it on the plane.
Airplanes no longer hand out blankets. Has anyone noticed? I sure have. When piling into a plane in the middle of summer, I typically am not carrying a sweater or a jacket. When the air kicks on when we're miles above the ground, those temperatures drop quickly. This is when I take my scarf (which is usually already around my neck), and I wrap it around my shoulders to stay warm.
If I travel outside in the sun, I have a scarf to cover my head.
The scarf also plays an important fashion accessory. A scarf can turn a shirt that was already worn on a trip look like a completely new outfit. Yes, the scarf is a very important travel tool as a woman. Next time you see a man selling Pashima scarves for 5 dollars, trust me, you'll think again before you pass him by. That 5 dollars could be a worthwhile investment.
