My New Scarf.

I have won a scarf!
All thanks to JapanStyle.
I found that website when i was reading their Wasabi Stories (yes, i was just browsing the net to find little stories to read.) and the stuff they have here aren't too bad, ranging from niche little things like bowls, plates, candles, scarves, and other stuff that are generally Japan related, but not necessarily Anime related.

Anywhoo~ they apparently have prizes to win every month or so, and the previous one was a Scarf, i wanted a new scarf, and it looked interesting so i gave it a shot ^^
The conditions were that i had to post a review. (To which i have already sent AND requested permission from them post here. Permission Granted ^^ )

It is a bit sad that i haven't been able to post much anime stuff lately, but i AM in exam period *cough* *cough*

I'm not sure WHEN they'll post up my review of the scarf, i'm guessing they're waiting for all the reviews to come in first.

And yes, my scarf is pink. I'm too manly so i need something to tone me down =P

======================================================

Upon opening the parcel, the scarf came nice packaged and neatly folded. Holding it in my hands, it is lighter than i had first anticipated.

Taking the scarf out, the colours were soft and easy on the eyes. The soft pink matched nicely with the soft red. Almost similiar to pastel colours. The criss-cross checkered pattern was also intriguing, as it is infact 2 layers, creating a much more interesting eye spectacle. The edges of the scarf are also nicely down in that a stronger segment is used so fraying doesn't occur as easily, as one would assume on first glance.

However, even so, the scarf's main body can get caught onto zippers, to which i had on occasional with my jackets.

On practical terms of use, with the exception of the zipper catching, it does keep you warm, and breathing through it is easier as it is more porous. It is also light and soft on the skin.

Overall i'm happy with the scarf.
