I love your pictures of your fabulous silks, leathers, and jewelry, all put together so artfully. And the joy that radiates from your pix is powerful and incomparable. I hope you know how special your presence is here! While I whine about nearly everything, I keep in mind your grace and fortitude.
Great comparison of Silhouettes Navales vs Retour de Peche! I remember also trying to get the polar bear right side up. I think you won!When I first started buying scarves as art, design elements like borders vs all-over patterns, graphic vs portrait, the importance of corners were all unknown to me. If it was pretty, I bought it. If I wore it, I didn't pay much attention to which part of the scarf was showing. It helped that I bought mainly floral and all-over designs (non-H). Then I started buying H and lurking in SOTD. What was this? A theme week for how to hide borders? People going ga-ga over contrast hems? Horse butts? Opened my mind right up to a wonderland, it did.
Speaking of minds, I'm still in two minds about whether this silken situational awareness is a good thing overall. I mean, a few months ago, I decided not to buy a scarf because I didn't like the colour of the contrast hem- boggles the mind. And last month, I bought a scarf that I'd never ever considered for years, because a few scarfies here wore it and I realized that it ties beautifully despite it being a portrait of an extremely stern woman. Can you guess which design I bought?
I certainly never thought that being conscious of directional design would lead to seasickness
Silhouettes Navales vs Retour de Peche.
I find Retour easier to wear as the ships aren't upside down when I look down.

Scarf wearing went from staid to fun. I made my upside-down avoidance a challenge to myself. If there was something in the scarf that I wanted to highlight and it was upside down in the usual ties and knots I use, then by Jove I'd find some other way to wear that scarf. The owl and polar bear on In The Canadian Wild weren't easy to get the rightside up, but I had fun getting the ties to work.

Thank you so much! Crossing that one off my Grail list felt sooo good! This is indeed a wonderful community!Love this. You have such lovely scarves @Living.la.vida.fifi and wear them with such style (and it seems you can rock any color)! Totally agree with your comment about the TPF group - I have learned so much being here.
Your new FP is gorgeous - such a striking CW!
Oh, yes, I tried this one on at the boutique and it’s fabulous! This one and two other CWs are on my wishlist and I’ve gotta decide on one before Christmas
Thank you so very kindly
Thank you so much!
Haha! Love it! I’ve changed my mind about CWs on this one three times already... but I am determined to get one soon
Thanks so much!All are beautiful and I love reading that your mother influenced you!
Congratulations on both your red Turandot (love) and the fabulous FP - you will love it and I am so flattered!
I agree - it's a warmer and softer pink and that's much better on me. (thank goodness because I love pink!)
I hear you on the large empty borders, I've re-homed many of mine too.
Every time I see your PdS changeant… heres what I look like:
Thank you!
OMGOMGOMG! That’s all... Now I need someone to revive me
Twins and I should wear it more... Live how you’ve paired it with the cream sweater
I’ve done the opposite as far as format. These are fabulous!My very first Hermes scarf was a Jungle Love CSGM in Noir.
I immediately fell in love with the soft drape of the cashmere/silk scarves. It was not too big or too small....it felt just right. I was hooked....... and so began my long slow slide into Hermes.
I never paid much attention to the 90cm silks as I thought they were too dressy for my style...... (little did I know that in later years I would be so wrong!)
AND being wrong isn’t so bad!! .....so I am sharing the last 90 scarf added to my collection.....the Rainbow Jungle Love 90. The rainbow of reds & pinks work perfectly with my colorblock sweater.
Now that I have discovered how versatile a 90 silk can be I cannot seem to have enough.
I love how scarves are such an integral part of your life and wardrobe and how they so positively affect your mood and lift your spirits. Love your posts here! Diabetes has been a concern in my life as well since my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 when she was 3, so I’ve been her primary caretaker for years and the one that consistently woke up at least two times during the night to check her blood sugars. It is such a challenging disease, but much is available to control it. It does affect the entire family, however. Wishing you health and success in the journey.
