I bought a scarf to wear on Easter that I loved…except, it had tassels on it.

I don’t do tassels.  You can quote me on that. 🙂

For some reason, tassels bother me.  I don’t think they belong on clothes.  Maybe other things, but not clothes.  I’ve been wondering the last few days why I have such a tassel aversion.  Here’s what I’ve come up with:

1. My grandparents used to have them hanging from their ceiling fans.  Enough said.
2. I just saw a picture in a magazine today with tassels hanging from curtains.  They looked pretty awesome on the curtains.  But do we typically wear other things we make curtains out of?  No! 🙂
3. Anyone remember the character on the Simpsons that was a scantily clad lady on a Brazilian TV show with spinning tassels from her bra?  If not, Google it.  Or better yet, don’t!  I can’t unsee that! 🙂

These may seem like really silly points, but they are real to me.  I don’t get the tassel fad right now.  Every scarf in the store I was at the other day had tassels on it.

I love the scarf I bought, but you can bet that I stood in the aisle trying to see if there was a way to get rid of the tassels without messing it up after I got home.  They looked pretty easy to remove, so the scarf came home with me.  And the tassels came off!

See how nice And respectable it looks without tassels? 🙂

Again, I don’t do tassels. 🙂

Do you?
