This is a period of instant gratification. Technology allows us to heat our rooms quickly. We simply turn up the thermostat and we are toasty. In fact, we may be heating the whole house so we can stay warm in a single room. The only problems of this are cost and the abuse of natural resources. Every time we “jack-up” the heat, we waste precious natural resources and deplete our bank accounts. In the past when resources were scarce as was the money to pay for them, people turned down the heat and added another layer of clothing.
Our elderly remember well these times. While many can now afford to turn up the heat, old habits remain. They stick to the addition of an extra sweater. For many people in these current economic times, extra heat is a luxury. These individuals could well do with looking to the past. They would discover you could save money and still keep warm. They can learn to turn down the thermostat when no one is home. It is no hard to reprogram the timer or the entire system for that matter.
You do not need to suffer from the cold when the thermostat is lower. You simply need to choose the right clothing and fabric to help you remain warm. Wool has always been a popular choice, yet there are other options. One other natural material also ranks among the warmest. This is silk. You may not even have to drape your entire body, just your neck, to benefit from its ability to keep you toasty warm.
Indeed, silk shawls and scarves are perfect at keeping you warm. This applies to inside your home in the chilly outside air. A silk scarf wraps easily around the neck, concealing an area too often exposed by most indoor wear. Yet, you can also drape it over you arms and shoulders. For increased warmth, try a silk shawl. Unlike sweaters, a shawl is never difficult to remove if you become overly warm. At home, day or night, watching television or reading, you will never feel cold wearing a silk scarf or shawl.
While it may seem a bit foolish to wear one of these beautiful and unique wearable works of art in your home, it is not. Hand dyed silk scarves and hand painted shawls are a far better outlay than any mass-produced variation. The outstanding quality of these accessories means they can be worn for most occasions. As a result, they are a better value for money. Yet, silk accessories also make you appear strikingly stylish and sophisticated.
