Yes, I completely know what you're saying. Actually, I bought "Pavements", a scarf I'd been looking for for what seems like ages and finally found but when I got it, it made me look sallow. The colors were so wrong for me. I know exactly what you mean.
HH Which ones would you love to have if you could?
LOL, you never know, we have some great scarf stock actually. I just bought this morning Le Jardins D'Andalousie in pale grey/green.........STUNNINGLY gorgeous!!!!!!!Holy Crap, K!!!!! Wouldn't it be FUN if Sydney had some and I didn't have to rely on searching eBay???? WhoooHoooo......
