Scarves Scarf Of The Day 2019 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[Jbizzybeetle]

Some things are constants and some change in our scarf journey. A constant for me has been that when I like a design, I get it in multiples... my first was Kachinas and Flamingo Party and then Samourais.
Something that greatly influenced my choice of CWs was seeing everyone’s wonderful posts here. I usually have a first impulse about my fav CW of a design, but then somebody’s modelings pics will offer me a different perspective.
One of my most recent purchases is the caramel Pivoines. I was happy with the blue and pink and then I saw @lanit wear this one and had to have it

A constant for me has been my admiration for Kermit Oliver’s designs, so adding the Pani carré wash is no surprise. I wanted one of his designs in this format and was debating between this one and a Kachinas. Modeling by @cherryblossum influenced me.

My latest H purchase is this Cosmographia. I still love the blues and dense designs like Samourais

Tried the new giant silk format in another brand and loved it, so agreed to purchase my friend’s Tapis Persans. I am ready for more.

Finally, I tried a CSGM... I swear I had such guilty feelings after purchase that I kept it in the box for over two weeks. But, even though I will hardly use it in my hot and humid climate, I decided it’s too pretty to return, plus it was a bargain in perfect condition. I fell in love with this one as worn by lovely @Pautinka, so here is purple Zenobie

beautiful piks! where is dear @Joannadyne ? long time no see?!?

 

[bobkat1991]

You're very welcome. I am a bit of a lurker but I probably qualify for replying in that I 'like' posts on a fairly regular basis. I think we are lucky to have a passion to share, one that crosses boundaries that might otherwise keep us apart.

kittyvoo, I just love the way you think! The shared passion that crosses those boundaries........

You make both those really sing!



Bobkat, I am sorry to hear of your health problems (it does seem to creep in on us...) but we are all much better for your posting here! Don't stop! Post when you feel like it and are able.



Thank you eliwon! It really sings in person. It's so darn hard to capture in a pic.

What a sweet thing to say, bunnycat! We truly are much better because we participate in this kind community!

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.

Momasaurus, I am rendered speechless by your words....but I need to confess something. Sometimes I whine. I think it so human to whine on occasion!

Love this post! Continue to shine bright hunny.

Your words remind me of one of my favorite designs, lxrac: Tyger, Tyger.

Thank you so much! Crossing that one off my Grail list felt sooo good! This is indeed a wonderful community!


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!


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!


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.


Great post! I always learn so much from you!


This is fantastic! Scarves can be such a wonderful legacy! Beautiful gift!

Living.la.vida.fifi, you have certainly received more challenges from diabetes than I have! Ever shake you fist at the sky and say "Curse you, Diabetes!" Lord knows I have! Thank you for your good wishes.

What a stunning neutral that Pivoines is, fifi! I rarely wear 90 silk twill anymore, but your picture is tempting me! What fun to meet up with a tpf friend, Joannadyne!

I remember clearly buying my first scarf. It was listed by an e*ay seller from whom I used to buy high-end pieces from time to time. ‘Ooh that looks interesting‘ I thought, not having a clue. ‘Musique des Dieux - a theme that fits well with my interest in the ancient world’. The picture below is of my wearing it at a wedding that year, 2012.
View attachment 4598345

I don’t look like that any more but as I have aged I have got better at choosing clothes. Thanks to the wit and charm of Brenda Kinsel I have mastered dressing on the outside to look like who you are on the inside. This is an interesting process! As I have aged and my colours have changed I learned to play up the contrasts. So less ‘wishy-washy doesn’t this make me look pretty’ and more Grrrrey with equal emphasis on the Grrr and the grey (hair, not outlook).

As an example of how this plays out scarf-wise, look at the contrast between what I wore yesterday, Garde Robe Pop, and the first scarf I bought in 2012, Musique des Dieux.

View attachment 4598352

And a final comment, on colours of course (because I am a colourist), the only scarves that really haven’t worked out for me are the peach-toned ones I purchased primarily because they would suit my skin colour. I know the difference when I look in a mirror and I see a scarf that makes my skin glow but in truth the scarves that are successful are the ones that make my heart glow. With the exception of black which makes me both look awful and feel awful.

I did say I was a colourist..

Oh, I am just bursting with curiosity here, kittyvoo! Can you private chat me with more info on a colourist career? And I would love to discuss high contrast color vs harmonious color.

I love the changes in design purchases! A very different approach from before!

Just wanted the silkies to see the SE edition SF Cosmographia Universalis scarf. It has arrived in the SF store and readily available. My first Jan B. Silk believe it or not. I was waiting for a possible mousseline or 140 but the 90 printed silk has some lovely perwinkle blues and aquas with a pop of red hem that makes it a gem of a combination.

More photos on my IG. Have a great weekend!

y’all remindervthere is an Hermes Scarf Colors thread where color theory discussion is welcome, particularly in application to H. would love to see share there as well.

 

[xincinsin]

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 that first pic - such a cute shot!

You know, I just need to say something here. My real life as I age isn't going all that great, health wise. I need more and more insulin to keep my blood sugars under at least a modicum of control. And insulin adds more pounds to me!

One pleasure is still making me happy....putting colors together, and "glamming it up" when I leave my house....frequently for doctor appointments.

Your warm words here and on the Your Hermes In Action
Thread mean *SO* much to me! I truly appreciate each and every kind soul that I've "met" here!

Don't go feeling sorry for me, OK? I've lived a wonderful, full life and seen some amazing things all over the world. I staved off this family diabetes II until my late 50's through exercise and pretty good eating habits. My poor first cousin, AND my own son were diagnosed in their early 40's! I am fortunate.

The stories you tell of your life experiences are always a highlight of the thread, bobkat. Wishing you and your DH better health for years to come.

Oh my! That was indeed an obvious progression in preference. And I like how you spoke of your heart glowing
I must consider the effect of aging too. I was planning to get a nice candy pink dye job once I was grey enough, although neon green is also calling to me. Fortunately my work will allow me to come in rainbow striped hair if I so wish.

THE WILD WILD WEST
Kermit Oliver or scarves depicting cowboys & horses​

This, mes amies, is a theme with nostalgic roots for me. I watched a lot of Hollywood TV in my childhood and The Wild Wild West was a steampunk/sci-fi/Western James-Bond-on-Horses TV series created before the notion of steampunk was born.

So, if you don't possess any or many of the around 20 designs which Kermit Oliver created for Hermes, do not fret. Feel free to run with the topic and show me other scarves with horsemen and equine friends. Or, in the wild wild spirit of that TV series, find a tangential connection, wear a bandana or do a cowboy knot - that counts too !

I have a mere three KO designs. This is my favourite because of the lovely dark turquoise border and the highly detailed design which is a hallmark of KO's art. I'm wearing Tsitsika with Linares' Gibiers which has a similar cw border.


Another scarf which fits this week's theme without a doubt is Dallet's Mustangs. This one was issued for the H boutique in Dallas. A very spirited depiction of cowboys rounding up the herd.

Join me this week as we admire the magnificent art of Kermit Oliver, and explore the horses and riders for which the first H products were created.

Big hug, bobkat. You used to have a quote about reserving 1% of attitude for a good sulk now and then, right? Everything in moderation, including moderation!

 

[momasaurus]

That was a great theme, scarfmistresses. I really enjoyed reading about everyone's journey, whether long or short. Scarves teach us so much about ourselves, and I think it's cheaper than therapy. So, all good!

Xcs, great intro and oerfect for Thanksgiving week. I love your Mustangs and Tsitkas silks. Two that haven’t yet made it to my collection.

For me, this week holds bittersweet memories. My father was an avid supporter and promoter of Native American tribes in our region and oromoted many Friendship Dances and gatherings when we kids were growing up. When he passed away while I was in college he had amassed quite a collection of Navajo and other tribal artifacts that we kids then divided up amongst ourselves. None of my sibs wanted the wear or keep the silver and turqouise pieces, so they eventually were bestowed upon me. Every Thanksgiving holiday I bring or wear one or two pieces with One of KOs silks. I especially am fond of Kachinas, Pani la Shar, Les Danses des Indiens and the Texas turkey silk. I’m posting archival photos while I take new ones this week if I can get a moment to do so. I’m so proud to have KO in my collection. I never want to release his designs. They evoke such strong memories for me.
