So while I had some time, I thought I would continue with showcasing the scarves in my collection. Today I thought I would discuss a special category of scarves. Now I might be a fool to discuss this but oh well! C'est La Vie! It's scarves that you love, but are not on anybody else's radar! These are the best scarves! They don't cost a fortune and it's easy to bid for them on evilbay.

Now, I know there are universally loved scarves. ELenK, C'est la Fete, Turandot, etc... These are the George Clooney of scarves. Who's gonna not like them? Well, nobody. They look good and we all agree. The trick is to find a scarf that you love, but nobody really cares for. Then you can swoop in and buy all the cws! And if you're really lucky, others will soon realize how wonderful the scarf you love is, and the price will increase. And then you can feel smug. LOL. And tell everyone you bought yours for only $225. hahahaha!

So I have one of these scarves. Well maybe several of these scarves. The first is astroglogie nouvelle but I think I've covered this scarf in great detail already. I love this design. The subject matter is just meh...to me but the scarf ties like a dream and I love the 3 cws I have. The second is a design that is rarely discussed. In fact, I don't think any other tPFers even own it. If you do, please come out of the woodwork and let yourself be known! Because I would like to bond with you over this scarf! I love it for the mosaics around the border. I love it for the giant tree in the middle. And everytime I look at it, I feel a sense of peace. Isn't it crazy that H scarves can put us in certain moods? Kind of like music? I'm not really a nature gal so it's quite an unusual choice for me but something about this scarf just appeals to me. And everytime I'm scrolling through evilbay, I stop dead in my tracks if I see this design and contemplate if I need another cw.

OK, enough of the suspense. It's Sous Le Cedre. I don't talk or display this scarf much because I don't think many others like it. It's kind of my own little secret. Now I will find it hilarious if you all start telling me it's your own little secret too.

The two cws I have are completely opposite of each other. The first has beautiful orangey-reds and yellows and greens in it. I love a orangey-red and find my capucine illusion bracelet matches it perfectly. I use this one in the evenings with black pants and now my KC.

The other cw is a daytime neutral cw. It matches my gold kelly and my Gris T kelly and a tan sweater I own 2 of. I'm a sucker for neutral scarves and this cw fits the bill perfectly.

And on both scarves, the tree. Oh the tree is so glorious! Sometimes I'll tie the scarf so part of the tree shows, and sometimes, I'll just go with the mosaics around the border.

Here you go...some photos of my Sous Le Cedre scarves.

So beautiful! I'm glad that you love your Kelly cut. I agree that you don't need a black kelly too. The Kelly cut is perfect for you. And of course your other accessories are tdf. [emoji8]

Thank you honey! Now I think I owe you a drink for saving me money too! Thanks for being such a loyal follower of this thread. You are always the first to respond and it's such a nice feeling to know my friends are hanging out with me. :hugs:

How lovely! I don't think I've ever seen these scarves before! I can see how they would give you a peaceful feeling. I like them! :yes:

And Happy Birthday!! :hugs: Despite having to do some of the work yourself, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I'm so glad to hear you love your KC. The more I see them the more I think I wouldn't mind one myself, but I don't have much use for one so maybe that will go on the bottom of the list for a (very) future purchase.

MYH -
Love everything in your post of your date night with DH! Simple top, pants, scarf, some jewelry and that KC. And in my fav colors too!
Happy birthday by the way!

I love mosaic scarves. I know I have seen others post this scarf on SOTD. First time I saw it tied, I thought, wow that is a cool design. Then I saw it flat, and I was disappointed, because ( don't kill me) , I didn't like the part in the center. The important thing is that you like it! And you are lucky to like something less popular.

And welcome back to posting!

Quite beautiful. The mosaics are divine. I assume this scarf is an homage to Lebanon?

Well hello there! Sorry I have been MIA. I had a milestone birthday this past weekend and all my time and attention was devoted to planning and helping orchestrate it. To make a long story short, my little sis and DH were supposed to "handle" it but umm....you know how that goes...let's say they did not have the proper experience to organize a party of this size. So I felt bad for them and decided to step in. So, the house is back in order, the party rentals for tables and chairs have been picked up, and I am back to playing in my scarf drawer.

Ok, first, can I say how much I LOVE LOVE my black kellycut. I am getting so much use out of it. I think I can even strike off a black kelly 28 from my "Acquire" list. So I actually saved money! I thought I would need a black clutch and a black kelly 28. Turns out I don't need both! I am so thrilled I found my KC in Paris. I know PbP thinks I didn't get the full experience of getting rejected followed by success, but I now realize just how lucky I was. I did experience the thrill of getting a KC, it just wasn't on the day of buying it, it's a month afterwards. :choochoo:

So I thought I would post the accessories I wore going out last night. DH and I had just finished cleaning up the chaos in our backyard from my bday party and we were in no mood to cook. So we looked on opentable and found we could get a reservation at our favorite restaurant in our neighborhood. So I wore one of my fav Eric Bompard sweaters and a pair of black pants and pulled out my 140 giant silk A La Plume 140 giant silk that was purchased on a whim when I bought my malachite kelly. Throw on some VCA and my black KC along with a green clic clac, and I am ready for date night with my DH :love:

Happy birthday! So glad you love your KP and you match it so well. Malachite and anemone are my tdf colors.

Waves MYH! I agree with you on both of these. While I have the former, I don't have the latter. I've always liked the mosaics (all mosaic scarves really). I am so glad you did this post. How one selects scarves, what one likes and why, the stories .. is always so interesting. I also like how you edit your pieces. Such discipline. It's hard for me to admit to disliking a scarf or bag or SLG after spending so much :noggin:

But to that kelly cut...:cloud9: I just love it! Again, aside from my pretend lifestyle, I want to know if there is any real practicality. can you show what you carry in that?

I learned something new about you. I knew that you liked this design but I didn't know that you had two. That's a very under rated scarf. It's gorgeous tied and I had never heard about it except from you. Just beautiful on you.

Thank you for your sweet comment. I always respond because this is my favorite thread. [emoji4]

Yey a new post!

Happy birthday! Hope you had a blast planning for and celebrating your birthday 😊

Wow that scarf really looked different tied than when it's laid flat. Tying it really makes such a huge deal! I haven't really developed my taste for scarves and I'm afraid I will regret in the future whatever I buy now. That's why I try to pick up on your post on why you choose the specific design/cw. Thanks for all the help! I'm planning on getting my 2nd scarf on sunday (my SA just got back). Hopefully it will be the english garden in same cw as that of PocketbookPup 😄

And please post more of your scarves! I really enjoy reading this thread 😆😆😆

Happy Birthday MYH!!! So glad you are loving your new K from Paris...and your date night outfit looked spot on! Now, Sous Le Cedre...totally under my radar, but not anymore...I have always loved Pavement because of the mosaic design, but it is often priced so high...now I have another to look for that will give me a similar effect...here you go, enabling me again!! Thanks for sharing your H insights with us :hugs:
