Scarves Help me curate my Hermès scarf collection!

My skin has mostly gotten less pink as I aged, Gott sei Dank. (I still remember a school dance chaperone when I was 11 years old, scrubbing at my cheeks, saying, "don't you kids know how to blend blush!?!" Spoiler: I was not wearing blush.)

Also thank goodness for better-coverage makeup now. As my skin has gotten less pink-y, I must say that drinking has not done great things for my rosacea.

Er, back to scarves. I liked the Ecrires (and wow for finding it in that cw!) and Rialto on you, and found the Vie du Cheval gives you two strong looks.

Laughing, scratching my head, and thanking you.

Laughing, scratching my head, and thanking you.

I did put the part in the middle badly, sorry! My skin is overall less pink, even with the rosacea. But that still remains, and even light-coverage makeup is much better these days in covering it.

First up is Costume de Fete, which I’ve had for 2 days. Pretty sure it’s a keeper. I’m comfortable with bright colors and, while I thought I had similar bright/black scarves, I actually don’t!

Beautiful scarf. One thing - IMHO the design and colorway are loud enough alread (loud in a right way - it is a folk scarf afterall) so I would pair it with a neutral top - either white or black, so it might look classier? Otherwise it is an overload? Just my opinion But keep it

I am not the moussie queen—you all have me confused with @lanit @Cookiefiend @bunnycat or @scarf1. I only have 8, and two are stoles.

A moussie is next up, by the way. Here’s the problem—the design is all in the center and it’s so difficult to show. So it just looks like a tangerine scarf (changeant, I think, but not dramatically so.)

How about a pic with no makeup and one with a little lippie: I had to fuss to get even this little bit of the design to show.

This can be easily re-homed. Doesn't do anything - seems like too much fabric, color is odd too - tough to wear..

The oldest purchase still in my possession is this Fetes du Roi Soleil, which I’m wearing today and forgot how great it is! Thank you.View attachment 5682057

Beautiful. This one is a keeper! Superf CW

For @missmabel5 : I feel good about these - very happy scarves. The moussie is going away. View attachment 5682581View attachment 5682582View attachment 5682583

They are nice.. but I would put them in the re-home bin. Orange-y tones are tough to wear; I personally avoid them like fire - LOL and think they are better suited for anyone with dark complexion/hair.. If you had nothing else to wear, then of course I would keep those, but it your pile is overflowing - then they could be candidates for potential "lay-off"))

Almost forgot about Petit duc:

Rehome pile

traité des armes: cute guys fencing. I have two. View attachment 5683200View attachment 5683201

Rehome! Too pale.

 

[Ashanti_Rose]

Flora graeca—I love it and have had it forever, but it should go.

Rehome. Too pale again.

 

[Ashanti_Rose]

One of my many fetes venitiennes: this could go to a new home, I think.View attachment 5683209View attachment 5683210

New home is looking for this one

 

[Ashanti_Rose]

My most challenging scarf: Paperolles. I love the colors, but they hate me! LOL. Probably should go on a wall. View attachment 5683211View attachment 5683212

Lovely design - but if you have plenty of others, I would say to rehome too.

 

[Ashanti_Rose]

More pale scarves today, from the blue/green family.
These are probably not on the chopping block:

I would keep Cave felem (versatile CW, looks great with your sweater) and re-home the rest. Turandot is odd CW - I would sell it and invest into diff CW? Color swapping? Batty park can go too.

 

[Ashanti_Rose]

But I went out in this (should have been in yesterday’s post

This one is a keeper! You look beautiful - cw is perfect, earrings are a match, sweater, etc. Love the contrasting hem too!

 

[Ashanti_Rose]

Some blues today:

Both are definite keepers. Gorgeous.

 

[Ashanti_Rose]

And

Flamingo Party and Flowers are keepers - look perfect on you. Other could be easily re-homed.
