Hi TT,
Iam a big fan of your thread since last week and I was surprised when I just found that you are an ESL teacher on page 41. As a former international student who went to the US 10 years ago I can't thank my ESL teachers enough. They are really deserve more recognitionfor their patience,dedication and perseverance on teaching us. Come to think of it, I realized your thread has a familiar voices in it. Clear ideas, thoroughly explained with vivid sentences and enjoyable to read. Exactly what my ESL teachers had taught me. Iam glad I discovered your thread.
I love your Escales Med and RO scarf in Lilac and Iam thinking to get one for myself. Could you kindly advice me which one is look better for a headscarf? the bandana style that you tie on the back of your head? It is a little bit difficult to imagine that.
Thank you so much for your help.

and Rencontre Oceane.
My honest opinion? I'd go with RO. I love how the purple coral spirals are centered exactly on my forehead. It's a neat effect. I also like how this scarf is a bit more monochromatic than Escales Med. The two lilac shades are very similar, but not exact. RO is lighter, and I consider it one of the neutrals of my closet in a way I would not Escales Med.
I hope this helps you. Thanks again so much for your sweet note

Dear TT,
No kidding learning Arabic is difficult. Though I am living Jordan,I am actually Indonesian. My husband is an Indonesian diplomat who got posted here,so here I am unable to speak any Arabic in an Arab country. I am trying to speak it though,just enough to get by. Good thing,most people here speak English.
I really wish my teachers were as stylish as you. That would be a real treat for the students. . I love your LV Blanc Corail. It's worth it.
I agree with you that RO is better for this style. EM has too much space between the circles. You can't really "read" the story of EM when it is tied. RO is more sophisticated and "fuller". This is one of the design that looks great in any style. You look lovely with RO,lilac is really your color.
I bought my first H scarf in San Francisco boutique in 2004. Huaca Piru II in orange c/w. I wasn't knowledgable about H scarf so I chose unpopular design and came home with unsatisfied feeling. It has been sitting in my drawer for years and when I came across your thread I just felt the urge to make the scarf works. I played with it and it wasn't as bad as the first time I bought it. I have grown to like it. Thank you so much for your help!
Dear TT,Funnily enough one of my students from this tutoring session is a Venezuelan woman who shares my love of Talbots. She came to class one day wearing "my" flame cropped jeans along with "my" navy blue cardigan! She also carries LV, but for my money, that monogram vernis Alma is the most beautiful thing Louis Vuitton has ever produced. I adore mine.
I've been thinking more about your headscarf challenge. While Rencontre Oceane did make a beautiful option, the design is several years old (2001) and can go for a substantial amount of money in the secondary market.
I spent some time on h.com USA, looking at the current offering of scarves, things that you could acquire more readily than stalking eBay for months, waiting for a reasonably priced Rencontre Oceane to swim to the surface :giggles:
I think SS12's Géométrie Crétoise would make a beautiful and versatile headscarf because it will look different depending on which angle you fold it on. I did an analysis of GC's symmetry here in my discussion of the Beloved India shawl. I also think that this season's Astrologie Nouvelle would make a striking headscarf as well. Both designs came in some wonderful colorways.

The only one from FW12 that I can test drive for you is Parures des Maharajas in the black colorway 17. I think that the soft pink or blue would also be lovely.
