The weather is changing from hot to cold like a roller coaster! One day its 70 degrees the next it’s 30 degrees. How can anyone know how to be prepared and fashionable at the same time? The answer is layering. The solution is pashminas!
‘Pashmina’ is the Himilayan name for fine cashmere. Cashmere is the down of the Capra Hircus goat. However, pashmina has also been used to describe the extra large version of a scarf that is wrapped around an individual as an alternative to outerwear or tied in various ways as a fashion statement.
Pashminas come in a variety of colors and fabrics. Prices range drastically from $1 to hundreds of dollars, depending on the supplier and the fabric that it is made of. You can find them anywhere ranging from the beauty supply stores to the finest department store.
To get you started, take a look at the product line in the slideshow to the left and/or visit Pashmina Boutique at http://www.pashminaboutique.com/pashminas.html This site also includes the history of the pashmina and how it is made!
Shop locally for your pashminas.

About Alexander McQueen:
Founded by the late English designer Lee Alexander McQueen in 1992, this fashion house quickly gained a reputation for opulent (and sometimes outrageous) bespoke creations. Today the line is under the creative direction of Sarah Burton, who continues the house's tradition of turning out impeccably tailored, beautiful clothes. She created the gown worn by Catherine Middleton as she wed Prince William, becoming the Duchess of Cambridge. www.alexandermcqueen.com
