Review on Sakkas Tone Pashmina Scarf Stole Women's Accessories : Scarves & Wraps by Tim Loya

I use this as a scarf, not a shawl. It's an extra layer of warmth, but not too hot. I have a couple of similar towels (different brand but same price) that I wear around the house in the winter as I hate being wrapped inside but want an extra layer while sitting. I'm more likely to be hot than cold, so I dress cool and bring something light when I need it (and still keep the apartment cool enough so I don't get too hot at night). This one lives at work and I use it on days like today when the air conditioning is exceptionally efficient. I'm giving it 4 stars because I don't think it looks fantastic (perfect as an extra layer at home or work but I wouldn't wear it to anything where costumes are expected) and it doesn't feel smooth (slightly itchy , but my skin is sensitive to the texture of the fabric). If you're looking for a scarf, they're fine and won't make you too warm, but I find "blanket" style scarves are often warmer and softer, but they shed a little more clothing.
