Lovely pics of you and your DD ... Thanks for taking us all along for the trip!
I admire your willpower because I'm in the same boat

Beautiful scarf, beautiful allaboutnice! You wear the losange very well! This is the changeant, isn't it? That it changes colour in different lighting?
So impressive, allaboutnice, your holding out for a Birkin and your DD buying her Dior with her savings. You two are not only beautiful, you're smart!
What a great story and the photos are terrific - you look so happy. I am sure it will be a day your daughter will always remember, a memory making kind of day.
Thank you everyone for all your lovely comments, they're much appreciated, DD sends her thanks too. I hope she DOES remember these shoppings trips together with me. I think her main abiding memory of London is the scrum and crowds getting into the new Primark on Oxford Street and the thrill of buying a shed load of clothes and shoes for her for under 30 pounds, LOL.
MrsS, yes, the colour does change on the folds in the light, that's called 'changeant' is it? It's the first mousseline I have bought so I thought they were ALL like that. I LOVE that effect and it makes the scarf go well with all my black clothes.
I have a another silk scarf from Hermes, a 70cm square special edition size that is called 'soie de scarabe' or something like that; that also changes colour under the light. I think it's named after the scarab beetle which has a shiny carapace that changes colour under the light. Here's a pic to compare them:

I love your new scarf, AAN. You and your daughter are just gorgeous.
I'm sure she'll remember these trips. One day she'll be old enough to wear your H stuff, and she'll have all these warm, fantastic memories of trips and shopping with her Mom. She'll tell your granddaughters and greatgranddaughters: "Oh, I remember skiing in with mom to pick this up," or "I remember when I was in London with mom and we got this scarf. That was such a fun day."
I love that scarab scarf,too.
