It’s always an honor to be an inspiration to Croisette, no??
An actual SOTD today: it cooled down where we are in Bali because it is raining, so I wore my Tropiques (fittingly!) to breakfast
Twins on the act3, really perfect pairing of that jacket with the jardin sintra scarf!
You have a wonderful eye, Joannadyne. I particularly love the pink samouri on you. I have always wanted to see that cw tied b/c I am a big sea green fan.2018: Year of the Samourai (for me, anyway!)
I started the year with this cw of Samourai - the last one in the entire country. Well, when put that way, who can refuse??
Then we collectively went gaga for the csgm! I went for this cw:
I am usually not partial to small prints because they seem to make me look either too old or too young, haha. But somehow this one works for me! Perhaps it’s because it’s in a large format. In any case, I also was drawn to blue/orange combos so I said yes to the dress — er, shawl!
Duuuuuuuude, this one needs no introduction. So happy it’s mine!!! (But strangely, I don’t find myself wearing it much. Need to analyze that...)
Back to the purples! My fave cw of Dancing Pearls became mine this year!! I think it may not have come up on people’s radar because it was advertised as “Sancing Pearls,” haha!
Nuages wasn’t on my radar but this is a cw I couldn’t refuse. DS calls it my “sneezy scarf” because all the little critters look like ... well, like they’ve just sneezed and their spray is in the air... [emoji38]
Like our dear Bunnycat, I was soooo thrilled to add this to my collection! I regretted not getting this when it first came out and dithered over which one to get. By the time I decided, they were all gone!
Despite my frustrated expression, I was/am so happy with this Tyger Tyger! I think it’s my fave csgm. It kept me so warm during a recent trip to France.
Ending the year with another purple, hee hee! A cw of Confessions that I love!
This was a really nice exercise. I’d thought my scarf buying had trickled down to nothing but the proof above says otherwise. What I’ve learned is to buy only what you love, don’t compromise on cws. I’m really really happy with the nine I’ve added in 2018. They’ve all seen a good amount of use and I love how they make me feel when I wear them.
Oh, I did say it was the year of the Samourai, didn’t I? I can’t end the year without bookending it with another one! I paid in 2018 but haven’t received it yet but here’s a shot of me trying it on at H in Paris - can’t wait to wear it in the spring!
The top one is a Bris de Gris Gris, right? (I'm doing it from memory). Looks divine on you. Is it a shawl? I ask b/c I have virtually (or maybe exactly) the same colored print in a 90. I currently have it paired with a greenish-gold jacket. I used to have it paired with a b&w small houndstooth shirt.
