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

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



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.
 
Everyone loves a Year End Wrap Up, even in a year such as this... and oh - whatta year! I’m always curious to see what others are thinking, how they’re tallying up their votes, what makes the cut, the confessions (mea culpa dear wallet), and seeing what *really* gave us joy.
I was a bizzy bizzy bizzy cookie this year - though not as bad as last year - and managed to bring in 33 scarves. I sold or gave away a total of 21, for a net gain of 12 scarves... that’s how I’m looking at it anyway!
But how to start deciding who wins? :panic:
< throwing a dart >
I’ll start with the moussies - 6 new came in...

What a fun week! As this is my first year collecting H scarves, I just wanted to thank you ladies for a fun distraction from 2020! I have loved spending time on this forum and appreciate all of you!
I collected a total of 23 scarves this year. I anticipate my next years will be much less, and I’ll become even more discerning. I’m a minimalist at heart. There is only one scarf that was a slight miss for me, and I decided to keep her after listing her for sale. So - I’m considering my purchases a total win for the year!

My categories:

1. Best format: the winner goes to 90 cm double face silks. If you had asked me six months ago, I would have said wash scarves, but after purchasing two double-sided silks, I’m a firm convert. Below is my Formule Chic.

2. Best Color Family: It’s the botanica from AW20, hands down. I have three scarves from this color family, and below is my La Legende du Cheval a Plumes. I can’t get enough of these colors!

3. Best Design: Almost all of my scarves, including the three in these photos, are borderless, with all four corners different. Some of the designs I love are Cosmographia, Acte III, Pivoines, and Animapolis. These are the designs that I prefer, as they maximize value and are the most aesthetically pleasing for me personally. I love feeling like I’m wearing a piece of art that could be hanging on my wall. Honing in on this design style early has allowed me to be very discerning, which is for the best for my wallet.

4. And the Scarfie goes to: Cosmographia Universalis Special Edition 90 cm, for the brighter future of Hong Kong. I love this scarf so much, it’s my favorite design and these colors are my catnip. The fact that it’s special edition makes it all the more precious to me!

Looking forward to 2021!
This formule is so great on you, laurenad!

Fab, so fab, Ms Cooks.
 
Thank you, my dear friend ... so nice to see you here again ... hope you are doing welll!
You know, this thread is too fast for me usually... ;) However dear @Awillow mentioned my name here and I was drawn into this wonderful thread again. Love this week‘s theme and already checked who might win the Oscarfs at my end! - BTW: Your winter scarfs are soo wonderful and each and everyone an award winner! ❤️
 
I had that happen with Acte III. I loved the red cw in the stock photos. I loved it even more when @papertiger modshot hers. I went to H with high expectations of saying "Take my money, take it, take it!" ... and somehow it just didn't look the same IRL for me. I still bought 3 other cws of that design, but I've always felt like I missed out on the red. Doesn't help that it is still available on the local h.com and I get dissociative amnesia each time I see it - my finger moves to click "Add to Cart" :lol:
Xcs - I had the exact same issue with acte iii. I have come so close to hitting buy on the red, but resisted the temptation for the same reason.

So glad you popped in, sammy! I know what you mean - I missed three days and 30+ pages of fabulous scarves and conversation. Yikes!
 
Well, my award for Best New Format in a Starring Role goes to The Mousseline...
After drooling over pictures of moussies here on TPF for a long while, I finally waded in and added the first to my collection, and I am thrilled with the format. Moussies work very well in a tropical climate and they are truly sublime. This year, I found five beauties and I know they won’t be the last...
So, once again, here is my very first mousseline and the one that remains my favorite and worthy of the Best Moussie award: Offrandes d’un Jour

And, I also was lucky to find a long-time moussie Grail: Rayures Mexicaines in this less commonly seen CW. @Joannadyne let me try hers on when she visited and I was convinced I had to have it, and she helped me locate this one... It arrived in time for my birthday

Lost track already after 2 days... busy days at work.
after starting to buy scarves on a more significant scale last year, my purchases also increased this year, for some of the reasons you described. I also learned better about what I like and what I could let go. This year was also my first at this forum, and I much enjoy the time out your posts provide. Definitely something to keep post COVID!

my Oscarf this year goes to Charabia, SOTD. I love the quiet design and its colours.

I would love to do mine in a relational database format. I was a fan of MS Access. Did not require Visual Basic to build GUI :smartass: My boss chortled when I asked if I could learn programming - you know, for career development :lol: DS1 & 2 will also chortle: they talk SQL and Java.
I created a spreadsheet a few months ago, but I am less tech savvy than you, xcs. Excel for me.
