I consider a minor loss on a sale to a rental fee for have the pleasure of getting to know a piece and getting to play with it for a while. I also consider it a fee for getting the lust for that piece out of my head. A sale of a mistake is in the nothing ventured, nothing gained category. But I don't sell very often, so the losses don't mount up in any meaningful way.

I feel exactly the same way! I got to know a scarf and realized we were not really meant to be together. Only once did I buy a scarf again, mostly because I missed it a little bit and the price was ridiculously low.

Heehee. I love your philosophy ladies.

Hmmm... I haven't missed any that I rehomed. And I have a few more that I know I won't miss. Momasaurus when you bought that one again did you love it as much as you thought you would in its absence or was it one of those rebound romances that never really goes well?

Holy cow. :heart: That's impressive. Do you have a preponderance of certain themes or colors. Please talk about your collection. (If you don't mind!) How did you start? What was your first scarf? What are your faves? Oh, and how in heavens do you store them all? Do you have them categorized or filed alphabetically?

Prepster - I am in awe!

As far as usage, I need to update the spreadsheet with this months usage( I am using Stylebook to track all clothes wearing) and then analyze. Will provide data once I figure it out.

Is there a thread discussing how everyone stores their scarves (HALP!), keeps track of them (working on it), and what is the consensus on the darn care tag?

I am using Stylebook (a definite work in progress), Pinterest (but I am so annoyed with Pinterest right now - I have a jillion of suggested knot pins - like boy scout type knots :hrmm: whut?) and a spreadsheet (to let me know I have plenty of red scarves <but is there really ever enough red scarves?>) and I sometimes feel a bit like - oh - that pesky kid with the runny nose who's asking a thousand questions and everyone wishes would go away. :angel:

I mean well. :biggrin:

For scarf storage ideas:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/storing-my-scarves.91006/

Not sure if there is a separate thread for tracking.
I leave the tags on, but not sure if there is a consensus on this forum.

Extensive scarf storage thread here.
Scarf tag thread here (among others).
I believe there are also posts about how people may use spreadsheets to track their collections.

As not everyone in the Café is into scarves, if you wouldn't mind taking these questions there where there is already so much helpful advice, that would be great. Thanks!

In fact, I don't wear the scarf that much and I have another CW of it too. It just feels better to have it in my collection. I am sure that sounds insane.
