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...

Hello, I’m turfNsurf &
I’m a Scarfaholic

I was blessed to have a wonderfully silky b-day, anni and xmas this year along with dear family who have honed in on my love of vintage H scarves. Of the ahem, several dozen added to my collex this year, some were gifts and a few have yet to arrive.

Additions mainly stayed in my comfort zone of silk 90’s, but a pareo, a pointu, 2-CSPM and 2-CSGM made it into the mix as new-to-me formats.

Planets aligned and more than 10-Grails/p.Grails managed to come my way.

My Large Format nominees are:
Le Paradis duRoy GSGM, Cosmos CSGM,

Beautiful blues and greens!

Totally off topic but I received fleurs de giverny yesterday in the mail and decided to throw it on for a grocery store run. Ultimately decided on ITCW as it has never left the house! My New Years resolution is to enjoy my scarves daily no matter the activity. Maybe ITCW can get the Oscarf for always a bridesmaid never a bride. Added a bonus pic of my cavapoo Sammy and Russian blue Sophie.

I love your scarves, but I have to admit I love your sweeties more, foxy!!!

Went for a walk with another 2020 addition I forgot to tally up. This is 140 mousseline that was a special edition for the Beverly Hills boutique

- Ooooh- that is a fabulous green mousse and looks fab on you too!

ETA - the gavroche I’m letting go with all the willpower I can muster. Sigh so beautiful and sassy!

It's overpriced. Walk away.

Catherine Baschet did the three in the photo. Collections Imperiales is the name of the pattern. But no idea on colorways. Love the one you are referring to! I have it but sadly have never worn it :-0. Darn covid! And totally agree on the similarity to Aline Honore‘s L’art du Sarasa. I love mixing of patterns like these two. Also reminds me of pattern mixing on Ex libris kimonos.

You and I, Alleycat, are on the same page. I like pattern mixing and the fun of finding a harmonious composition.

Hello! I have been lurking on the forums for a while and would like to finally come out of the shadows to thank everyone for all of the positivity here over the past year. Scarf collecting was an even more enjoyable refuge for me than usual, and the photos and insight shared here are always helpful in making decisions and igniting inspiration. Thank you!

My New Year's Rescarfolution for 2021 is to devote more energy to enjoying the scarves I already have. I have been collecting at full steam for a few years now and have reached the point where I feel that my collection is almost "complete" (whatever that means!), so I want to slow down and luxuriate in the details of all of the beautiful scarves that I am so lucky to already own.

Speaking of details, I couldn't resist twinning with @papertiger in my Liberty robe and my 2020 award-winner for Most Whimsical Acquisition - Au Fil de la Soie. Come to think of it, this scarf might be my all-time winner in the Most Meta Silk category, and this image might just up the ante. Thanks for the inspiration!

Great post, great picture and yes - so many of us want to enjoy what we already have. Glad you stepped out of the shadows. Post more pix!

Hello, dear Scarfies ♡

Yesterday I wear my first Carrè 70, Promenade de Paris.

I matched this scarf with yellow sweater, my DH said that I look like an egg yolk... OMG

It was SOTD of another day.
(I think I should buy a Gris colored pullover.. haha )

First time, I was concerned that this scarf would be limited to make various knots and underutilized because it's smaller than ordinary Carrè 90. But I was worried for nothing! Actually, It's easier to make casual knots than Carrè 90, I think. I especially love this lively yellow-striped hem ♡

Wish you have a wonderful Wednesday! The place where I live has gotten very cold and now the temperature is below -10 degrees Celsius. Take care of your health, dear Scarfies ♡

fabulous knots!

So pretty, twin! I have been wearing mine 3 days in a row!

That Cosmos CSGM is amazing. How did I not know that Cosmos came in CSGM? Is it rare? That would be a grail for sure. What other colorways it came in?

I stumbled upon it preloved and sadly have no other information to share other than it has the older 65% cashmere / 35% silk care tag. Maybe one of our CSGM guru’s like @Croisette7 knows more about colorways?

I used to be only 90s when I first started. @bunnycat enabled me into buying gavs. Do I find gavs useful? Interesting question!
a) practical: I live in the tropics, so actually gavs are a good format as they are less warm because less cloth (depending on how you wear them of course)
b) pacifier: some designs are available in both 90 and gav, and I might not like the design enough to buy a 90 or I haven't found a 90 cw I like, but I think it's cute as a gav and it satisfies the craving for the design (Magic Kelly - I never did buy a 90 in the end)
c) price: gavs are cheaper - this really counts in seasons when I want too many designs and it stretches my budget
d) Versatility: I wear my gavs in pairs and like to mix and match
e) Men's collex: some of my fave gavs are the men's pocket squares

We could do a decision tree for this, but I have to admit that most of my gav purchases are visceral. OMG penguins! Buy! OMG dinosaurs! Buy! (I have no idea what the sweet male SAs at the men's dept think of me, but I hope they find me amusing )

I am the same way with gavs, for all the same reasons as you. Pacifier and price feature highly in my gav-ing.

I so enjoy these statistical run downs of other scarfies! I also have some end-of-year purchases still en route that I guess I should count...


I’m have same feelings for Les Amazones ll by Dumas! I have a sage green early issue that doesn’t get much neck time, but I enjoy the design so much; it’s heaven on a square.
Coincidentally I also have the minty green Les Boxes whose possible twin may be coming your way. Mine has the softer grayed tones I struggle to optimally wear. I’ve found most success so far pairing with a stronger color & denim to make it work and may hang it up at some point...
I hope you enjoy it upon arrival!!

A Cosmo CSGM! Outstanding! Well, they all are quite special!

Thnx
I’m such a sucker for blue and of course horses!!

You’re so insightful- bridesmaids indeed.
Your furry companions are so sweet napping together

Really wonderful additions!!!! You were busy! And that blue Cosmos is FAAAAAAABBBBBB!

Thank you dear bunny; I hafta admit to being more than a bit surprised when I totaled them all up

Beautiful blues and greens!

Thanks

You look fabulous! I just love your style.

How awfully sweet of you

Taking time out to experiment today.

Green wins the Award for Most Common Colour Purchased in 2020. It is the main or important subsidiary colour in almost half the scarves I bought (H and non-H).

This is Ispahan and Cavalcade de Mai. Like I said, experimental (I must try with other scarf rings). I was attempting to create the shades of green that you would see when you look at a copse of trees, inspired by a local photographer who took pics of a local forest and made it look magical!
