27 Jun 2021 FOMO & Sales Goggles: A look back at Impulse buys, bargains and Must Buys in the first 6 months

Good morning Scarflandia!

Welp - this is a week meant for me… The Queen of Sales Googles, The Queen Bee of Impulse Purchases, The One Who Can’t Resist , The Boss of Oh It’s on SALE, Why Didn’t You Say So!!!

Gosh, I’ve been busy this year… and we’re just 6 months in! My credit card has taken to hiding under the bed, scarves are falling out of the closet, and the mail delivery people and I are on a first name basis.

Sales Goggles - just in case no one has heard me blather about them - are firmly attached to my noggin at all times - Me Oh My how I LOVE a ‘bargain’!

Though we all know an H ‘bargain’ is because I applied H Math.
Wait - maybe you don’t know about H Math?!?

Ahhhh… pull up a seat Grasshoppers.

H Math is an art. It’s when you rationalize your way to a new scarf.
So for example - my Amazone. I had wanted this scarf for ages, it reminds me of the Anime movies I watched with my youngest son… I had to have it. When I found it, I pounced on it even though it was an outrageous price - and the only scarf I have paid over retail for. Then I found another one for a song (of course I did ), and I bought it too. H Math allowed me to average the cost of the two together and SHAZAM - it was a bargain! TA DA!!

(Like a story problem, except that the answer wasn’t a Purple Hat [my usual answer to story problems], but 2 lovely scarves!)

Or perhaps you’ve found the Vintage Scarf of Your Dreams, but zomg... the price. Great Googly Moogly. But H Math comes to the rescue, because -gosh - I’d pay this much for a new scarf in the boutique, and this Beauty I’ve Been Waiting For is just a bit more... I’ll take it!

(Then you run off hissing My Precious to yourself)


But, we’re talking about this year, 2021, and as I stated earlier - I have been a bizzy bizzy Cookie! In January, I found a lovely scroll jacquard - Le Cle des Champs.

So, what have y’all been up to?

Fabulous intro Cookie!

I too have a PhD in H Math! Isn’t it wonderful? The “Cost per Wear” formula beats the Pythagorean Theorem any day.

I have been SO bad this year. I’m learning from you on sticking to retail or below NOW but…. Also H math allows for the given that “retail” means current retail bien sûr, not retail at the time the design in question came out. Let us be clear.

So I’ll probably be sharing a lot this week given my recent naughtiness, but let’s start with two early ones.

First: The Must Buy. The one I had to have immediately. As in clicking refresh at h.com in the car on July 3rd on the way to the Jersey shore because new season was coming out “imminently.” So help me he was online 2 nanoseconds before I scooped him up. Happy to report he’s still my favorite…

 

[Pirula]

And secondly, the Mother of all FOMOs.

Early in my H journey, while the fever was at its peak and before I’d become studied in H math, I paid twice retail for this. Yes folks that’s right. $800 big ones.

Needless to say, this caused such waves of guilt that I bought nothing else, not even a stick of gum, for six months. So a) helped average out total spending.
B) this is where the cost per wear formula factors in because it is SO wearable! But yeah, lesson learned.

So, what have y’all been up to?

Grand intro, Ms Cookie! I’ll be showing some must-haves later but I’ll weigh in with some thoughts. ‘Cost per wear’ is not my driving formula because I don’t wear my scarves every day. I have scarves that I haven’t worn yet! For me, it’s the occasional Real Deal that I factor into the equation which brings the total cost of my scarf-buying down. But I’ve been a naughty Karenska this year, too .

It’s a beauty, Pirula. I don’t think one can find Ex Libris en Kimono for under $600 anywhere, anyway, and they are usually closer to $700 or above.

Twin! This cw of our beloved Tyger, Tyger was not a must-have because originally I wanted a different cw, but they were soooo overpriced on the resale market. When this cw came up for sale for a great price, I pounced (no pun intended ) and have never regretted it. In fact, it is now my favorite cw of this design and one of my personal grails. And bonus! One of my Behapi reversible double-tours is the exact shade as the bleu nuit in the scarf and so I alway wear that bracelet with this scarf.

Thank you for introducing this week, Cookie!
Le clé des champs was also one of my impulse buys this year, and the most impulsive one was Parade de Leonhard, which I bought when waiting the compulsory 15 minutes after my COVID Vaccine. 15 minutes well spent, in all regards…

Pirula and Karenska, I totally agree re colourway of your Tyger Tyger. fabulous! And understand the ELEK dilemma, I guess I was lucky with exactly this one 2 years ago due to a pulled thread (I had difficulty finding, actually).
