It was such a difficult decision as all the the cws looked beautiful. In the end, I decided to go with my gut and get my first choice: cw 02.
The deciding factor was that I’ve always wanted a H shawl with realistic looking butterflies. Initially I was concerned about the green because I’m not much of a green color fan and also dislike the color combination of green and red because it reminds me too much of Christmas. But you guys, the moment I opened the box and saw this shawl in person, oh my word!
IT WAS BREATHTAKINGLY GORGEOUS!
The colors are not as bright as the online stock photo. In person, the colors show as more subdued but so much deeper, richer, and just plain beautiful.
I was worried that it wouldn’t match anything in my wardrobe but because of the cooler tone of colors as compared to the warmer colorful cw 01, it will basically match everything in my closet. And whenever I want it to stand out by itself, I will wear it with an all black outfit.
This Spring/Summer 2018 season has basically sucked my wallet away but I am deliriously happy.
Last year I planned to only get one colorful “rainbow” scarf and quickly fell for Sieste au Paradis and snatched it up. I thought I was done but then Parures de Samourais cw 03 and now Jaguar Quetzal cw 02 both hit me hard. So I now have 3 “rainbow” shawls out of my other H shawls. They each have a different vibe: the Samourais has a happy Spring vibe, the Sieste au Paradis has an energetic Summer vibe, and now this Jaguar has a calming cooler vibe perfect for fall and winter when I need a blast of colors to contrast the gloomy weather.
Anyway, enough of my babbling, here are the pics of the newest member of my Hermès shawl family:
Excited to open it!
Awestruck by this gorgeousness when I opened the box!
And of course here is my happily sleeping Jaguar:
My favorite corner, look at those butterflies and flowers!
