NY weather has warmed but there’s still that annoying spring chill that gets you when you decide to dress down. All the better to bring/wear/drag along something to keep it out. Also, though, ropes are just cool. Boatish. Is it too macabre to wear ropes around your neck? Does it speak to your darker nature? Maybe. But it’s a good tongue-in-check type of statement. And with all these (some warm) adornment options, it’s a perfect blend of fash and function. Help me decide?
