I ordered a couple of these scarves for Christmas, the pink and red and the lavender and purple. They are both very soft with a little shine, not too light in weight- will keep you warm, and very comfortable to wear. Both color schemes are nice and will be perfect to match with different outfits. The flower pattern is elegant and not overly flamboyant but still feminine which I like. The only thing I would say is that the red and pink scarf kind of comes off as being more of a salmon color with red fringe. I kind of wish the colors were the light pink and a dark pink instead of red to be a truer pink color but this being said it is still a lovely piece. I'm a 29 year old and I believe the style and pattern is appropriate for all ages (not just older gals). I would definitely buy more of these in different colors for myself and as gifts to the women in my life.
