Mirror mirror on the wall, who has the biggest scarf collection of all?

Love the organization (even if it may only be temporary and placed back into the closet after remodeling).
Ummm, well, I'm with @dharma, the spreadsheet is my friend, except when I am slow to update it (insert sheepish grin emojii)! The entries begin with A l'Ombres des Boulevards and end with Zabavushka at 108. But there's also a pile of boxes in The Shrine, marinating and uncatalogued. I've broken just about every rule I started with. There are multiple cws and multiple formats but thus far, no actual duplicates.
Storage? Undisciplined. It's a bit of this and a bit of that, primarily driven by my need to see the silk. I'm waiting for someone to update the storage thread with the perfect, not insanely expensive, solution. @etoupebirkin, what a joy it must be to visit that wonderful chest of drawers!!!!

Dear essiedub,
How rude of me that I never replied
Somehow I just missed your post, so sorry!! I find it much easier to decide which to wear if my list is primarily about color. (Maybe my brain is like yours, too!) I keep them in their boxes stacked in a vintage blanket chest so I have to think ahead. Someday I should put them in a drawer or display box like some of these lovely TPFers. But then what would I do with all the boxes, haha?
Bumping this old thread as I feel like I'm nearing my saturation point with 90 silks although there are still a grail scarves that I'm looking for.
10 90cm silk
4 Twilly
3 CSGM
1 70cm silk
1 Maxi Twilly
@Croisette7, it'd be fun to know your numbers since you have such an amazing collection!
It's good to reflect back on this post as my silk collection has definitely grown since!

Great thread, thanks for bumping it! Not too bad, you added 14 in 20 months, you could have done worse!
Intrigued by the 120 moussie? Oh and also:
Will confess tonight - need to count...

Oh man- I forgot about this thread!!!! Perhaps I need to bookmark it permanently so I don't forget! It will be good for me.
@weN84 You've done so well! That's not too bad!
APassau- Yes-I can totally understand that!
At first it may be fun, but many years later it might be like asking a lady her age....@Cookiefiend- Where's the popcorn icon?!?
I promise I will be back with a breakdown, but I can tell you as of right now, I have approximately 75 scarves total, including twillies, as opposed to last year at this time when I had around 55-60.

Oh my goodness- I'm going to have to spend some time rereading this thread for organizational insights.

Okay - here we go:
49 x 90cm - 2 are plisse, 1 is a mousseline
14 x 45cm - 3 are mousseline
4 x 70cm
3 x 55 - bandanas
2 x 140 - both mousseline
1 Pointe
1 77cm - this is an unusual scarf so I'm not surprised at it's odd size
2 stole - 1 is mousseline, 1 is cotton and silk (maybe its really a pareo?)
1 twilly - twillys aren't my thing apparently - I never wear it. But it's cute!
There are 3 scarves on the definite, gotta go chopping block - I didn't include them. I honestly think I could and probably should sell more but I don't have good luck in that. So < shrug >, I still got 'em.
No 140 cashmere. I can't see myself wearing them...
A) My BFM makes my internal thermostat run too high, I'd prolly die in all that cashmere (but whatta way to go, right?
)B) I'd rather wear a sweater and a scarf.
C) I can tie 2 90s together (a la bunnycat) and have a 140 plus! Winning!
I did take pictures, if I run out of things to do tonight (cats away, the mouse is playing in her silks!), I might post them… but omg - it's a lot!
@bunnycat - I also took a picture of my storage tower (bwahaha - I don't know what to call it), but there is a thread somewhere about scarf storage and I posted a pic of it there too.
