GRANDMA'S OLD SHAWL HOT STYLE FOR FALL

GRANDMA'S OLD SHAWL HOT STYLE FOR FALL

HINGHAM, Mass. (Wireless Flash) -- Better start raiding your grandma's wardrobe if you want to look hip this fall. According to fashion buyers for the Talbots clothing chain, hand-knitted shawls, sweaters and scarves like the ones dear old granny used to make will be considered the height of fashion this fall. A spokesperson says the trend has been spawned by nostalgia for the good old days, partly because the chunky knitted stuff brings back memories of childhood for many adults. The funniest part about the new rage for all things handmade is that many folks used to dread wearing the handmade stuff because it made them look square.
