I have drolled over this wrap for decades and now feel like I have a purpose for it...
We are pretty much wearing all black and dark colors over in Ukraine...I have a black cashmere coat that I am not certain will go around this budda belly...

I thought it the perfect excuse to order this if it doesn't button all the way this might hide it and give me a little pick me up...

Is this as pretty as I think it is????
I use to be a scarf gal in my trendy pre dog, pre hubby, pre child single days...
this thing is huge though...what do you think, and any ideas on how to wear these things in addition to the way they have it here...

Very pretty:) I have a similar one, only it's smaller and only has red/orangish colors...I never know how to wear it, so I just wrap it around my arms when I wear something blac...it looks ok. I wouldn't know how to wear it with/over a coat, though

Neve,

it's beautiful, but won't you be wearing some kind of coat? I presume that winter in Ukraine is FRIGID!!!!

Since sadly I am not certain the thing will button up around my belly...I gotta pull it out of the closet and check.
But it is big enough I think to accent a black coat.

Strange thing is it is FREEZING there...but inside homes, trains etc.. it is evidently a sauna...they say they "bake" and that it is so hot, they can't control the heat it is done from central locations from what I hear. I have heard folks can't sleep in the trains due to the heat in them. So layers are important from what I hear...

If Tristan was not going with us I'd think more about outside weather...but since he is going he probably will ground us more to being inside...so I need to consider that too...

UGHHHH- the packing is getting to me...
