Happy Saturday! Working from home has its advantages but sometimes I‘d wake up and wonder what day it is.
Today is one of those.I love turquoise. That one sure is my favourite but I also love the fuchsia one I saw when I looked up ELenK the other day. With previously issued scarves, it’ll be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find something in the right colorway, in the right condition and price. The turquoise one is selling at $1K more than a new scarf! I can think of a few things I can get with $1K. I haven’t been checking out the reseller market for scarf. Don’t know if I should start for fear of finding other beautiful scarves when I have a handful both in silk and CSGMs that I haven’t worn yet. I need to go through my stash to see what I have and shop my closet. It sounds like our lock down will be ending in a couple of weeks and businesses will be re-opening at partial capacity so I may have places to wear my scarves and jewelry to.
I did buy quite a bit of clothes and some footwear since the pandemic started. Mostly because I kept getting all kinds of sale notifications! At the beginning it was mostly clothes I could wear to the office (business casual) but then we kept getting locked down and I’ve been working from home for over year now so I switched to buying more casual clothes that still work for Zoom calls. At least when we finally go back to the office I’ll have new clothes to wear. Lol. I rarely ever bought anything from Coach, mostly small leather goods as gifts, but I got a shearling coat at a steal back in Jan/Feb. Sadly, for now, most items still have a tag on.
I still have yet to look up the name of the color of my Constance. We’re at the cottage this weekend so will have to remember to look it up at some point. It’s nagging at me. Have you carried your Kelly yet, @eagle1002us?
I do have a rolling rack in my bedroom. I hung clothes I bought that I haven’t worn yet so I won’t forget to wear them.

Definitely not Hermes. Lol.
Not only the 4 seasons but the casual, work, vacation, semi-formal and formal wear (haven’t needed formal wear for years now). I also used to go on cruises so used to have cruise wear as well. Funny how I don’t wear the same clothes I’d wear in the tropics during the summer here.
My DH and I used to drive to Michigan every once in a while for a weekend shopping years ago. It’s only about 3 hours to the border. There’s an area called Auburn Hill and we’d go to the Sommerset Mall which has Saks, NM, Tiffany, etc. and then we’d swing by the outlet mall at Great Lake Crossing–it’s not as good as a Simon outlet but still fun.
I love the colorway! So pretty and perfect for this time of year. Please model it and share pic. You and I need to shop our closet more, even just to share pics here.

It's a dreary day here for the Memorial Day weekend but rain now just means the place will be poppin' with flowers shortly.
Do show me, Fabfashion, scarves you have, the greats and the maybe's. I had consigned a bunch of them last year to TRR, something like 20 or somewhat more. That resulted in in getting getting some $$ back monthly for a while, which was nice. I am not looking to consign any more b/c I have a lot that's unworn b/c of the lockdown. However, I was pleased with the returns and process. It's a lot easier than selling them on ebay.
Happy Monday!
Funny story about popping flowers. There’s this patch of short plants besides our cottage and for years I wasn’t sure if they’re regular plants or weed. They were there before we bought the place. Even when my DH mowed some of them down, they’d come back. Anyways, my friend and her husband popped by the other day. He’s a horticulturist so I asked him what they were and he told me they’re Lilly of the valley. Oh! They were blooming and were fragrant (not that I noticed it before as they were at the side of the house). So luckily I didn’t spray round up and got rid of it.
I haven’t look through my H silk scarves in a few years. I stored them in their box unlike my CSGMs which I hung on the small towel bar. I should hang some of the scarf up like art work. I’ve seen how some tPFers used magnets and a big piece of glass/plexiglass to secure a scarf and hang on the wall. While I love colorful scarves, my favorite turns out to be the Mythiques Phoenix silk scarf in vert anthracite, vanille and aubergine cw. I kept waiting for the same cw in CSGM, just never happened (unless I missed it?).
I have a few scarves that I liked the design but the cw didn’t like me back. They’re still unworn. I’ll have to go dig them out and show you. Wow, @eagle1002us, you consigned 20 some scarves. Good for you! Wish we have a marketplace where tPFers can post their pre-loved items. The jewelry forum I’m on has that and they’re some really pretty items that get posted both antique and modern pieces. I’m such a hoarder on all things H though so that’s why I have no space left. I have charms and such that I just bought and never used them. I’m so glad I ended up with 2 daughters so my excuse was that they can have my stuff when they’re older. Not my B, K or C until I’m gone though. Lol.
Yes, I agree. I did a pile of mod pix a while back. I will send you the link sometime today. I go in spurts. Have to figure out how to stash things so I can find them so I'm not up for a new mod session right now.I love the colorway! So pretty and perfect for this time of year. Please model it and share pic. You and I need to shop our closet more, even just to share pics here.
It's Sunday. I thought it was Saturday. This does happen to me quite a bit.
I am for the moment somewhat into giraffes. Ferragamo has a nice giraffe print purse. I do not need any purses. I never go anywhere. Besides, I would only feel comfortable with a giraffe purse if I wore a tan safari outfit with a toque, canteen, fly netting, and a nice map.
Do consider posting mod pictures of your scarves. About your shearling coat, I have gotten some Coach bags over the years for casual stuff and I do think their bags are very good quality at a reasonable price. So I imagine your coat will be well done too. Coach does honor their heritage, I'm thinking of Bonnie Cashin bags and clothing. She set a design standard.Happy Saturday! Working from home has its advantages but sometimes I‘d wake up and wonder what day it is.

I haven't carried either of my two bags each purchased in 2019. That's ok. It's so confusing to decide what to do. Every time I hear the vaccine safeguards people some "source" brings up the possibility of variants being more contagious.
What a beautiful little joey. I have read somewhere that koalas like soft places to sit. Imagine balancing yourself on a skinny branch all day. Well, at least they have claws that help them grip the tree.
PILLOWS FOR KOALAS, PEOPLE!!!
Fab, can you send me the link to this jewelry forum?
Spring flowers like lilies of the valley and of course crocus pop up even when snow is slowly melting away. I loved seeing those Around here in early spring there are jonquils (or daffodils, can't remember which).

@eagle1002us, please remind me which other bag did you acquire in 2019 besides the sublime Miss Lime Kelly?
Found a pic of my Coach shearling coat. Only wore it once to the mall when we reopened briefly back in February. A miscalculation on my part as I was boiling hot when walking around with it indoors. Precovid times, I usually went for a walk during my office lunch hour and this coat would have been perfect. I’m saving it for when we go back to the office. Need to figure out which of my CSGM would look good with it or may be I should pair it with a silk scarf instead as this coat is warm enough as it is.
