Naked people have little or no influence on society.

I've always been a detail person. The smallest things have always caught my eye.

Shoes make the outfit. Jewels make the girl. Clothes make the man. Etc.

I love softness these days. I'm all leggings all the time. I'm cashmere and cotton. The softer it is the more I'm apt to become addicted to it.

Softness makes this climate tolerable. And I'm not just talking about winter in NYC. Softness is love. I am soft, outside and in.

I'm also in deep smit with my new stripey scarf from Old Navy that I got for $12.50.

For those of us who veer away from striped garments for their boldness, a striped accessory is a wonderful way to wear a nautical stripe.

My scarf is light as a feather, generous in proportion and 100% rayon.

I want to wear it every day. At least for part of the day.

So when I get home I put on my grey sweater and my stripey scarf and drink tea. It makes me feel warm and good.

Don't forget your leg warmers!
