| WORD OF MOUTH | In answer to last week's question: What are this winter's must-have accessories?
noelleellis said: "In winter, we're usually covered head to toe, so accessories such as scarves and boots, maybe a large piece of vintage costume jewelry can break up the monotony. Winter wardrobes don't have to be drab, as they do throughout the rest of the seasons, so add a bit of personal flair to the winter 'uniform,' or cover up with an amazing coat or jacket."
marlene999 said: "Among the 'must-haves' for me every fall/winter, are scarves of all kinds: silk, challis, velvet, burn-out and printed velvet, etc. But this year the scarves to have are the ones that are very textural. With all the different wools available and knitting making a comeback I am wearing a shawl that my mother just finished for me and many many scarves that both my sister and my mother have been making - I'm even thinking up picking the needles up again!" This Week's Question As country music has gone mainstream in the last decade, so has its style. Has high fashion corrupted country? Has country style influenced the broader fashion market? • Go to the Fashion & Style Forum
