Hello silkies. At the behest of a H scarfaholics anonymous club here on tPF (you know who you are), I have been asked to share my collection of scarves and thought process behind why I chose these to be in my collection.
I'm not a natural writer so you may see alot of ramblings and random thoughts that are not presented in a logical way so I apologize upfront.
I'm typically a pared down type of gal when it comes to my wardrobe, but with scarves, I went a bit overboard. I know I don't have a huge collection by tPF standards, but I probably have enough to discuss my scarf collecting philosophy and if it stimulates a collecting discussion, then fantastic!
For those of you that have seen my bag showcase thread, I intentionally keep my bag collection small. I feel horribly guilty when I buy things and don't use them and with bags, if I have more than 10-11, I literally forget I own them.
But with scarves, well, they are smaller and easier to store so I have about 50. I think I just counted how many I own and currently it's at 47. I recently gave away 3 to my little sis to help her start her own collection. I do use almost all of my scarves, some more than others, but I will admit, it's always a work in progress. Some get rehomed, some new ones get adopted, and sometimes they follow me home from the boutique.
There is really nothing more magical than a scarf. On a day you are feeling uncreative with your outfit, just wear all black and pick out a Hermes scarf and toss on a bracelet or bag that matches the scarf, and voila, you have an amazing outfit.
Ok, let's get started. First I will show you a group shot and then I will go into each one and tell you a little more about it, why I like it, how I wear it, and all that good stuff. This process will probably take several weeks because there's no way I could do it in one go. So if you'd like to come along for the tour through my drawer, I'm pleased to have you on board.
