Accessory Friday-Supermaggie!

No, you are not seeing double. We are such big fans of Supermaggie! that we are going to show you their shirts as well as their accessories. This store has a bunch of different things, but we like their scarves and lariats the best. Now, we must admit that some of the scarves are a little weird for us, but others we simply cannot get enough of, so we'll let that go. Our favorites include the Skinny Spot, Verticle, Hole, and Stripe. Each scarf is handmade by felting and is either 100% merino wool or a merino wool blended with flax or silk.

Now, the Shirt Snob must admit our ignorance here. We didn't know what a lariat was, so we looked it up online. The definition we found was a "long noosed rope used to catch animals." Hmmm...not exactly what a city gal would need. However, according to this store, they are a "single strand, with no clasp, strung along a nylon string coated stainless steel cord." Ahhh, much more to our liking. Since it's a single cord, it's easy to wear however you'd like to, as a necklace, bracelet, belt, or more. They are made of a mix of plastic beads, vintage beads, glass, resin, and lucite, and each one is one of a kind. We like all of them, but our favorite if we had to choose is the Ice Lariat. They are all so pretty though.
