Scarves-another obsession

When I took early retirement, I wanted to spend some of my time "giving back" to the world.  I spent many years producing software and training a big tech company's Fortune 500 clients ( hint: begins with an I and they are "inside" everything). While traveling for said job, I'd often spend my nights at fabric stores.  So, my stash of silk chiffon was huge (think light, easy to ship home)

So, to make a long story. . . , over the course of five years I rolled hemmed most of that silk chiffon into scarves and with the help of my friends, sold over $5,000 of them.  We donated said money to UNICEF.  Wow, that felt so good to feed that many kids.

Well, in the course of making that many scarves, I became a master at tying them and love wearing them with everything.

So, when I spotted this e. Fisher shibori treat I had to have it.  

My closet doesn't have much grey, so I made another linen t. Bahama camp shirt to go with.
What do you think?  I plan to wear it on the plane to St John next week.
