    The little chiffon neckerchiefs of yesteryear have been replaced this summer by long flowing scarves in lace, crocheted yarns and threads and silk .

     Who cares if the mercury's rising ? Just tie one on !

                     This year's versions have a decidedly international flair,

                      with patterns and trim inspired by far-flung spots like

                      Morocco, India, Mexico and Italy.

             Spring skirts are the ultimate transition pieces,

             whether paired with turtlenecks and boots for the final flourish of winter;

             suit jackets and crisp cotton shirts for early spring;

             or with T-shirts and flip-flops for summer.
