I have, I'll admit, a rather pedantic need for names to fit the things that they're naming...if the moniker doesn't feel right I have a hard time getting up any enthusiasm for the item in question. So you can imagine my feelings when I received the following in an email from Net-a-Porter...
Now, realistically, I see the merits of the loop scarf...but I find it hard to get past the inherent ugliness of the word snood...or the idea that, come the Fall, cool girls everywhere will be discussing the virtues of snood A over snood B...or that the term snood imparts any sense of luxury.
Am I alone on this one or does anyone else get hung up on names?
