I Want… Twiggy’s Striped Scarf!
This is a photograph of Twiggy taken by Linda McCartney back in the 60's. (Sorry about the poor quality--it was the best I could find!) I saw this in a higher resolution a few years ago and have never forgotten it. I fell in love with her scarf and have been checking eBay for something like it ever since. You can hardly tell from this photo, but it's got green and silver lurex stripes. Twiggy is wearing it as a head wrap and has attached a rhinestone brooch. It completely transforms her outfit of a kelly green t-shirt and black slacks from casual to chic. She looks adorable! A little cold and hungry but adorable all the same. 
Here are some of the scarf's third cousins twice removed:
Miss Selfridge Broken Striped Scarf - available at missselfridge.com
Fairtrade Wide Stripe Scarf - available at topshop.com
Skinny Stripe Scarf - available at chanluu.com
Crinkle Stripe Scarf - available at levisstore.com
As for me, I'm going to continue keeping a watch out for a green and silver one like these. If you find one, let me know!
And before I end this post, I have to ponder... did Twiggy see Little Edie Beale of Grey Gardens at a Hampton's party and feel inspired?

I adore this photograph of Twiggy - it’s amazing how she still looks so much like this today.
I like the scar too! So hopefully if I find any I’ll find two - one for me and one for you!
