The Fringed 70's Bohemian Wrap

Strolling the grounds of a local art residence, we stopped to take photos in this strange little walkway. I guess it's usually canopied in flowers and vines, but in winter the bare stalks look kind of neat! This gorgeous, vintage wrap was the perfect prescription for keeping warm and cozy. I think it may be alpaca, but it's exactly what I've been wanting to add to my closet. It's what to wear when you know you should spend sometime outdoors, but really want to keep that cozied up feeling. While we were on our little walking tour of this villa, a lady told me that she once had a wrap like this in the 70's, but used to belt it around her waist and wear it like an asymmetrical skirt. I just love that idea!
