[papertiger]

My very best wishes to everyone for the New Year to all SOTD regulars, occasional posters and newcomers alike .

The SOTD 2021 thread is now open and ready for business:

Scarves - Scarf of the Day 2021 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

continued from here THEME WEEKS for 2021 from TEAM SCARF MISTRESS Just for fun, each Sunday begins a new Theme Week. This year, we have some real treats in store! We have a full complement of scarf mistresses and GSMs for 2021 and I want to give a quick shout out and thank you to my fellow...

The new theme commences tomorrow (3 Jan - whenever your time zone gets there) but there's no reason why you can't post earlier if you want.

Congratulations, Twin! It’s a gorgeous scarf design and cw. A beautiful gift. I purchased mine in January at Hermès on Broad St NYC (Wall St area). My DH gave me Savana Dance for Christmas last year. It means so much to me. I really adore my 70s. Here are a couple ofView attachment 4939120View attachment 4939118 pics.

Gorgeous designs in spectacular CWs!

You have showcased many gorgeous scarves for this theme, Fifi, but this may be your best holiday post this week. I just love all your selections here, esp. Zabavushka, which is a grail for me and on my ever-expanding wishlist. I looooove how you styled it and I am envious you can use your scarves with pins and brooches, in a safe way, of course. I am so terrified I'll pull threads, and if a brooch were sterling silver, that tarnish would stain the fabric. Your jewelry is such fun, too.

Oh, so glad you liked this post! I do adore all of these holiday scarves... I am extremely careful with my pins and am always so afraid getting them close to my silks

Thank you for the wonderful introduction to Oscarf week, Fifi. All of my Hermes scarves were acquired during 2020, so they are all in the running for an Oscarf Award.

I like colorful scarves with interesting designs, and I tend away from horse bit, military, colonial and hunting themes. However, I have been inspired by many of you to look at vintage designs as well as neutral colors, and that leads me to my first Oscarf Award of the week.

Yesterday's scarf mail brought me a scarf from 1948 by Hugo Grygkar, which makes it my oldest scarf, as well as being older than me. Chevaux de Cirque celebrates the horse as a circus performer. I love the large ostrich plumes and I can almost hear how the bells jingle in rhythm as they trot around the ring.

My Most Vintage Award goes to Chevaux de Cirque.

My heavens, this scarf is magnificent! The colors are spectacular and it’s in such great shape! Truly looks wonderful on you... Congrats!
And, I am curious as to the size and magnitude of your collection and in awe that you have been able to grow such a quality collection in such a brief period of time... Well done!

The holiday scarves are wonderful classics... and, the CSGM is glorious... Ties so beautifully!

Thank you!

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! I'm on duty in the office today and found this interesting reference to a festive celebration on this day.

Feast of the Seven Fishes - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

The menu wouldn't fly in my household as we run the gamut from fish lovers to fish haters but since fish are a symbol of fortune and plenty for me, here are seven fishy scarves to celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes
Clockwise from top left: La Vie Precieuse, Secrets de Minos, Canadian Wild, Ecume, De la Mer au Ciel, A Contre Courant and in the centre Les Truites.

My SOTD is one of my very few summer silks: Kachinas, worn with a small enamel-patterned napkin ring.

Fish & underwater scarves are △⃒⃘Lways favorites of mine- these are all beautiful!! Thank you for sharing

Inspired by @Living.la.vida.fifi and her festive Savana Dance CW, my SOTD is a different CW of that shawl - the elements around the edges remind me of Christmas baubles.

Welcome to this magical thread where everyone is kind and shares gorgeous silks; your SD is beautiful!

A few more festive silks before the new week begins......
Every Christmas I play the piano at my mom’s living facility and was able to do it again this year with some creative covid precautions.
I wore the green Fouets et Badines scarf braided around my neck. I had to make sure it was tied high and tight as not to interfere with my piano fingers!

Today I simply hung around home and played in my scarf drawers!

Earlier in the week I wore my Into the Canadian Wild with the fish looking up fondly at the sweet little owl.

Fantastic first greeting; lovely designs beautifully tied

27 Dec 2020 The Oscarf: Best 90, Best CSGM and other Oscarf-worthy categories (copyright Cookiefiend!)

Happy last Sunday of 2020, my dear scarfie friends! It seems as if it was yesterday that we began our yearly silk adventures here on SOTD, and here we are wrapping up the year... And, what a journey it’s been! We are all, no doubt, ready to say goodbye to a most challenging year and poised to welcome a new one full of hope and possibilities.

I think that we all agree that 2020 was a year that will live in infamy, except where our silks are concerned, for we have witnessed a marvelous array of scarves here every single week. At moments where we have been sad, anxious and troubled by world events, our little SOTD corner of the world has been a spot of beauty, comfort and joy.

And, now, we get ready take stock of all of the wonderful scarves that have entered our collection this year and to, once again, hold our very own Oscarf Awards ceremony! For, where Hollywood has the Oscar, Scarflandia has the Oscarf, courtesy of our dear Cookie.

This was a very interesting year for me as I purchased my first mousseline scarves and fell in love with this format, adding a total of five to my collection. So, I will begin by giving my Mousseline of the Year award to my very first moussie and the one that remains my favorite: Offrandes d’un Jour
View attachment 4938899

I also obtained my first Giant Triangle this year, so the First GT Oscarf goes to Kachinas.
View attachment 4938901

But, where I went seriously bonkers this year was with CSGMs, adding a grand total of fifteen to my stash. As I live in a tropical climate, I can safely say that I’m pretty much done and satisfied with my shawl collection. I obtained so many treasures that it’s hard to pick a favorite, therefore I will present my Best Five CSGMs during the course of the week, beginning with La Femme aux Semelles de Vent.

And, the Best Giant Silk of 2020 award goes to Carnaval des Oiseaux
View attachment 4938902

As every year, I purchased scarves from Hermès’ new collections. The Oscarf for Best Scarf of the Spring/Summer 2020 collection goes to the fabulous C’est la Fête, which I was lucky to find in two CWs.

View attachment 4938903

And, the winner of Best Scarf of the Fall/Winter 2020 collection is La Legende de la Foret.
View attachment 4938905

As every year, a variety of silks from past seasons entered my life. Some were long-time Grails for me. But, if I must choose my Grail of the Year, the award must go to Ex Libris en Kimonos in this exquisite CW.
View attachment 4938906

I have been looking forward to this final week on SOTD, as a recount of all of my new scarves has been fun, enlightening and eye-opening. This year has been a momentous one for me, as I acquired a total of sixteen 90s, fifteen CSGMs, five mousselines, three giant silks and one giant triangle. I am looking forward to posting some of them this week. And, I can’t wait to see the parade of treasures that will be shared by all as we wrap up one scarf-loving year and get ready to begin another one full of silk dreams and expectations.

Gorgeous Xmas shares (loved. them. all.), Delightful Oscarfs intro & Completely stunning winners (not to mention your yearly stats).

I updated my alphabetical spreadsheet, but need to sort by year to tally additions... safe to say 2020 necessitated some scarfie retail therapy.

Thank you, Fifi. My scarf collection is a direct result of the pandemic, and having a pile of money from cancelled activities, and lots of time to search for scarves. I am a collector by nature, but I try to actually wear my scarves. Selecting a scarf and an outfit to share with all of you daily has brought me great joy.

To date, there are 90 90 cm silks, 2 CSGM, 7 moussies, 5 70s, 2 bandanas, 3 45s, and 1 100 from the men's collection. 31 were purchased new from Hermes, with 12 from the S/S 2020 (including 4 Les Artisans!), 9 from A/W 2020, and the remainder from earlier years. 22 scarves were purchased used from eBay, 24 used from TRR, and the remainder from various other vendors. I have paid over current scarf list price for just three scarves, Jaguar Quetzal, C'est la Fete, and Noel au 24 Faubourg, and the total overage was less than $500.

I haven't sold any yet, because I need to wear them for a while to see which ones I tend to favor. At this point I seem to have enough scarves to cover the various scarf wearing themes, although some of them will require a bit of creativity. (I know I can always choose to wear what I like.) I like the idea that these scarves tend to hold their value, unlike the pearls and other jewelry that I collected in prior years.

2020 has been a most unusual year, and I was generous to myself as far as scarves went. I fully expect to exhibit more restraint during 2021.

DH bought me a new scarf for Christmas. Not gonna lie, I was secretly disappointed upon opening and finding it to be a 70cm and not the usual 90cm I’m used too! However I was still grateful for the lovely gift as I know he thinks these things are frivolous

however I am happy to report, having worn it today that it was still warm and cosy. And I do love the colours and design of this scarf. So all in all I love it. And will now investigate more 70cm scarves!
please excuse the wrinkles (in the scarf) had just taken it off.

the colours are just stunning. Not fully showing up in the pics. Hope it’s okay to share this here. Xxx

You will get hooked on 70s. So easy to wear.

Somehow got too busy to post this last week. Here are my 3 holiday scarves that I have been wearing frequently this month.

1 neige d’antan which I featured early last week
2. au coeur de la vie (2007) - not Xmas theme, but very christmassy red and green combo.
3. Noel au Faubourg View attachment 4939089

and actual SOTD and my favorite new CSGM from 2020 ( ok it was also my only CSGM this year). Patchwork Horse. This colorway with blues, greens and purple matches or goes with almost everything in my closet. not sure why it doesnt seem very popular( has been on USA h.com most of the year). It ties beautifully. Here worn with a new cashmere cardigan.
View attachment 4939090

All four are so wonderful! IDK about this CSGM. You know I have the similar colors from the earlier issue (quite a bit less white, but otherwise the same). Maybe everyone who likes these colors already bought one?

 

[xincinsin]

This was one of my fave buys of the year: Cosmographia. I resisted long and hard with many H-excuses like "the unicorn/sea serpent is too small". The true reason was because none of the cws suited me. Then I wuz enabled by the inimitable @lanit who showed the San Francisco CW and I

I think 2020 was the year when I finally accepted that there was no such thing as too many red&blue scarves (goes with denim )
