I'm sorry I have been away. This thread has grown cobwebs due to my neglect.
I'll have to put in extra effort this week! Good thing I never started a blog. I don't think I would have ever been able to keep up.
OK, this week I'm going to feature a scarf that has a lot of yellow in it, a color I don't really like or want to wear. Inexplicably, I seem to have quite a few accessories to match it so I'm confused myself!
I'm drawn to yellow because it's such a fun, cheerful color but really, I don't look that great in it. But a recent purchase at H has reignited my love for yellow so I thought it would be fun to take a pic of yellow H knick knacks.
My impulse/carefully thought out purchase was made last week at the SF store. I have been trying to find a solution for keeping my jewelry organized when I'm traveling. I started seeing posts of the zoulou coin purse and thought that might be good. So I asked for it but decided, it just wasn't big enough. When I explained to my SA what I wanted to use it for she was like, OH! I have just the thing! She brings out three boxes and shows me these leather jewelry trays that can be packed flat or snapped together. Ugh...I was a goner. And they were all bicolor - resistance is futile. I saw malachite/etoupe, feu/gris tourterelle, and gold/jaune. In my mind, this is not a frivolous purchase. :giggles: If it helps me from losing jewelry, then it's worth every penny right? And how many of you have used the hotel safes that are located on the very top shelf of the closet? Umm...how am I supposed to be able to see if I've taken all my jewelry out when I have to stretch my arm above my head and feel around in that black hole? I've even dragged the swivel chair over from the desk and stood on that just to check with my iPhone on flashlight mode. Oh the indignities of traveling!
But onto the scarf. This is supposed to be a scarf showcase thread right? Well yes, but I can't help myself when I buy other pretty things at H. I'm sure you'll all forgive me. And I take full responsibility if you all want to run out and buy leather jewelry trays. I know...it's all my fault.
OK, focus MYH! Back to topic. When this scarf was released, I was like "oh finally, I can own something CDC" because unlike many of you, I just cannot pull the CDC bracelets off. For some reason, on my arm, it looks like a murder weapon. I think I heard this from someone else on tPF and it stuck with me because it rang true. But the upside is, I don't have another thing H thing to be addicted to. So when I heard there was going to be a whole scarf full of CDCs, I was on it! I really liked two cws of it but both had a lot of yellow in them, especially on the borders. But no fear, just use the necklace knot trick and all is good in the world. I don't wear this one in a cowboy really because then the scarf is almost all yellow. But the reason I got this scarf is because it has a lot of blues and blacks in it and is a great evening dressy scarf and at the time, I wanted to add something in that category to my collection. It also works wonderfully with gold jewelry as you would imagine.
