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.
 
Like RBH- I am a huge fan of Les Artisans d'H and am giving it the award for Best New Design for 2020 in my scarf stash, tied here in one of the knots the lovely @Yoon daily scarf showed us the other day.

I also have created a very special category. Some of you may remember that I have been through SEVERAL attempts at finding *my* Jungle Love. I started with a deep red Dip Dye a few years ago, but always had trouble tying it to see enough of the cats....so it got re-homed. Then I tried a 70cm cotton charm, and still, I couldn't really get enough of what I wanted to see in it, plus---borders...just not a fan!

Since I am not a fan of borders, and knew I was going to have to accept them or keep waiting for a format I liked (had sooooo many hopes for a Jungle Love Maxi twilly....) especially when Jungle Love Rainbow came out.

Finally, I decided none of that was going to materialize, and then JL Love also got released. So I decided twillies was going to have to be "close enough" and got not just one but both JLR and JLL twillies while they were out together earlier in the year. Right after that, I found an older pocket square for a great deal NWT. And thought..."well why not?" Surely 3 JL is now good enough! :lol:

Another bit of shortliness after that I found the 90cm JL Dip Dye (also for a great deal) and figured "well, I can at least see the cats better, and there is some color variation here, and I don't hate the purple border....plus SALES GOGGLES" :woot:

Me: Now! I am fine...I have 2 twillies, a pocket square and a 90. I know I missed out on that CSGM I SHOULD have gotten but these will be fine!

.....
:roflmfao:
.....

Due to procrastination I had missed a GREAT deal on a red/black/white CSGM, which I then found *again* some time later for also a pretty good deal and did not hit BIN fast enough that time. Foiled *again* on the CSGM front!

Me: Oh come on! You have enough JL! :wtf:

Also me: No....I really don't.... :lol:

Me: :rolleyes:

And so the search continued until I located one of the old color ways I had been interested in, since the giant tattoo hadn't really called my name hard enough....


And so I present my award for Best Overreactive Scarf Purchasing with a total of 5 Jungle Loves in one year (and I would not say no to some other format should it ever come out.... :angel: )

No new pics today, but a quick tally of my purchases for the year:

New from boutique/h.com:
- 4 silk 90s (Plumes en Fete, Toucans de Paradis, Les Artisans d'Hermes [tried two cws, one went back], Wild Singapore
Preloved:
- 1 CSGM (Carre Kantha)
- 2 silk 90s (Into the Canadian Wild, Reve d'Australie)

In addition, I have a couple of preloved scarves currently in transit, which I won't actually get until 2021
- 1 CSGM (Patchwork Horse from 2014)
- 1 silk 90 (Les Boxes)

Overall, my collection grew more quickly than I expected, but it's been so much fun. I haven't really had the urge to shop other than scarves, so I probably didn't actually make much more of a dent in my wallet than I normally would, wardrobe-wise.

For 2021 I hope to get my first 70 and find some previously released scarves preloved that I've had an eye out for. Top of the list is Les Amazones by Dumas!
 
Cracking up in bed langsam!! It’s those decision tree questions that only a true scarfie can help you mock up a pro/con list or ask you the leading questions where you fall into a decision “on your own”. Example -Should I love it or list it ? I haven’t worn it in months or I saw another cw I now want more? Should I get that other cw anyway and just turn this design into a collection multiple? Or my personal fave - the omg the design I want I just found for a super low price but it’s not my desired colorway - add to bag or walk away? Or the omg this grail scarf showed up tonight on a resale site the price is fair isn’t it? I mean it’s like 5 seasons old and scarce! Add to bag or walk away? An hour ago I had a scarfmergency not a drill, a real one when printemps 69/ete 70 showed up on the bay new with tags but as a gavroche. A format I have never tried - add to bag or walk away? (I walked away slowly and with tears and I looked back at least 5x). @laurenad strongly advised I stay strong and someday my prince (size 70cm) will come.
How true is this comment??! I go through these scarf decision trees all the time :P.
 
Twins with you on LB......so you must keep! Just kidding....we seem to be twins on so many....:heart:
I like how you are wearing in the last pic. Very chic.
Try pairing it with something grey!
I’ve taken a quick pic of how I wore mine last week. I liked it with a grey sweater as it seemed to pull out the grays in the dogs.

I really enjoy reading all your 2020 scarf journey. I hope to write mine before this week’s end. Meanwhile, here is my Gavroche of the day, Au pays des Oiseaux Fleurs, the first scarf I bought for myself 4 years ago.

This is lovely, queenie! So pretty with your sweater and beautifully photographed! You look like an advertisement.
 
We should bulkbuy Liberty jammies :biggrin:
And totally off-topic but I wish to share my sorrow here: the very old and venerable department store where I bought my first Liberty scarf decades ago closed down a couple of months ago :crybaby: - it didn't survive the Covid-caused loss of business.

And to return to topic, this took the award for Most Unexpected Obsession 2020: the Hermes x Liberty scarves. I started the year with one, and now have around 6.

My first one:

What treasures! Congrats labelo I love your knots, so fresh. Random what cw of patchwork ? For the better part of a year I have gone back and forth with myself on the green blue cw that @scarf1 owns or the Kawa Ora in the same color family. Maybe I’ll decide in 2021 haha
