McQueen Floral Skull Silk Georgette Oblong Scarf

I posted this review on the Saks Fifth Avenue website, but it bears repeating and including a real life photo! The scarf that I'm raving about is also sold on Zappos. It is in so many shades of red (to pink) that I am able to wear it with a large variety of shades of red (or with neutrals). Here's a photo (that doesn't do it justice) of the scarf in one of the easy ways to wear it around the neck.

I often wear this scarf with a Swarovski ruby crystal heart necklace.
Here's the review I wrote on saks.com:

Light as a whisper, gorgeous floral skull scarf 

This scarf is darkly beautiful in shades of red that are deep at the outer edges, and gradually lighten toward the center. The skulls are very dark throughout, even in the light areas, yet they remain subtle enough that most won't notice them (McQueen afficionados will). The sheer silk is virtually weightless, but provides ample coverage for use as a shawl or cape (it's an easy way to display the entire beautiful scarf, plus it adds a layer of warmth). The large size of the scarf also provides dozens of creative options for wearing around my neck or waist, and I continue to learn more by querying youtube for "how to tie a scarf" videos.

The red floral design that covers this scarf is very romantic, evocative of Lee Alexander McQueen's "Sarabande" collection in 2007. In my opinion, McQueen scarves have surpassed Hermès scarves in today's fashion race -- and this scarf offers a unique design in a valuable and versatile size. I love this scarf!

Okay, so I went a bit overboard -- but I do love this scarf! Here's a screen grab of one of the the ways that Zappos styled it:
