The snoods in my life

After much catching up on sleep yesterday,  I ventured out to today to have lunch with friends, run a few errands and generally to enjoy life.

It's been a lovely bright day, but very cold. What better then, than to debut not one, but two,  new snoods?  What a great idea, especially for one who feels the cold as much as me? There's no unwinding or dangling 'getting caught in shredder etc' danger here - merely a swathe of warmth just where you (I) need it.

First - my new favourite item - the reversible stripe snood from the White Company. This one is quite 'long' (in a circular kind of way) and is more like a scarf joined at the ends. When looped, it sits much like a twice wrapped scarf, but without the bother of what to do with the ends.



The next snood, from Pure Collection, is quite different - like a soft funnel for the neck. 

It fits closely - there's no spare length to wrap around, as there is with the White Company one. Just a closely fitting, very toasty cashmere tube for the neck and (in all likelihood come December, in my case) face. 




Snoods - where have you been all my life?  You are my new indispensable accessory.

  1. I think I would prefer the one with more length but they both look fab on you x

    1. They are both wonderful to wear...the shorter one is snugger - good for very chilly weather! x

  2. I'm not 100% convinced on snoods - something about the eighties about them which doesn't work for me. I was a teen in my eighties but I'm convinced my era was definitely more seventies disco chick, or a sixties Jean Shrimpton. I was never a Sheena Easton.

    1. But I did try one on in Primark of all places which I almost carried to the till until I remembered I had a snood in my hands. So I don't totally not get them and like you say, they don't dangle where they don't need to.

    1. Yes - an in between one (between the 2 lengths featured here) would be perfect - the search continues! Will think about a 'tutorial' for the future :-) xx

  6. Lovely colours. I've yet to try any on .. I always wonder would they not be very bulky as at least with scarves you can manipulate them to sit where you want!

    1. The stripy one is surprisingly manourevable (not spelt right I know...sorry)... but I know what you mean! x

  7. I prefer the first one cause of its length and your sweatshirt compliments with it. But its up to your taste. Follow your heart where you are more comfortable. You'll be the one wearing it.
