Need help finding a shawl

crz4mm2 · Mar 28, 2007

I need some help finding a shawl. I have something in mind that I know I have seen before but can't seem to remember where. The one I have in mind was white background with larger Blue and possibly pink, (bright) flowers. More of a tropical type pattern. I want it to dress up a light blue tank and skirt for a wedding.

I have looked on ebay and can't find what I have in mind.

Someone I work with suggested a silver shawl (I am wearing silver sandals).
What do you think?

Any thoughts about Pashmina shawls?

Thanks.

I have a pashmina shawl and I LOVE it! Silver with silver sandals would look nice, but if you can't find silver, the light blue of your outfit shouldn't be too hard to find a match for. Try Bloomingdales.

Do you think the Pashmina would be dressy enough and not to heavy for a summer wedding? It is the end of may.

Thanks!!

If you get a pashmina shawl that's high enough quality, it should have a lovely sheen to it, so it will absolutely look dressy enough. They are rather thin, so I don't think it would be too heavy for May at all. Mine is more of a winter color, so it would look out of place in May just because of the color, but the weight/thickness/sheen of it would all be very appropriate. I live in the northeast, though, so end of May isn't too hot here.

There are a few lace ones out that I've seen. Those are usually in a bridal shops/formal dress shops.

Happy shopping!
