I'm kind of interested in the logistics of these Harlequin felt neckpieces, which help you keep warm in air-conditioned areas, but aren't so granny-influenced. They also pay homage to the statement neckwear trend. But trend-following aside, they're just kind of cool. The way the felt is draped and dyed creates this very Georgia O'Keefe-inspired look that I think would look great with simple little dresses and tanks. The reason these look so avant garde is because the maker is an artist who creates installation and performance art pieces in addition to these little gems of "wearable art". 

Harlequin separately sells some crazy printed vests that are kind of Marni-meets-Dries-meets-the bag lady around the corner. I can't decide whether or not they're fabulous or just hype.
