I had bought myself two scarves from this season as a birthday present earlier in the month, but have only now gotten around to taking modeling shots. So here are the Plumes en Fete CSGM and the Grand Prix du Faubourg MT Slim, both in the pink/green CWs.
I had actually bought these more or less intending to return the MT Slim - I have tried the format before and didn't find it very wearable. But I have been tempted since this MT Slim came out because I ADORE this design by Ugo Gattoni. I have the 90 but could only find it in a grey/white colorway, and always felt sad to have missed out on a more colorful version. The intricacies of the design come off much better in color, IMO. I was unsure about the MT Slim both because of the format and because it still has large swaths of white/grey. However, after looking at my mod-shots, I might actually keep this. The bow knot looks pretty cute, no? And look at the close-up picture, how can you not like all those tiny little funny people?

As for the CSGM, I have been looking for a fuschia one for a long time to jazz up grey or black sweaters. The dark pink on this is definitely splendid (it looks rather orange-y in my photos but in reality it is very much a fuschia). BUT looking at my mod shots, I'm not sure that I like all the brown/grey feathers. They kind of muddy up the appearence of the shawl, no? Also unsure about the white which is likely to show dirt, and I have this design in a 90 anyway... So despite being convinced I would keep this, I might actually return it. Instead, I could maybe go for something like this Brandebourgs Points shawl (pics below the modshots), which is not pink but has a fab pink hem, or this La Cite Cavaliere ... Thoughts?
