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

[Pirula]

Here’s another FOMO for me from a while back (see how I’m avoiding the damage in the past six months?)

I paid over retail, but it wasn’t too much. This is where the theorem Yes It’s Over Retail But It’s An Older One So Therefore Makes Sense It’s More Valuable Obvs kicks in. No regrets:

 

[Snausages]

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.View attachment 5121723View attachment 5121724View attachment 5121725View attachment 5121726View attachment 5121727

Both are well worth it! Gorgeous and versatile!

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.
View attachment 5121676
So, what have y’all been up to?

Thank you for the wonderful introduction to FOMO week, Cookie.

The year was less than ten hours old when I came upon Les Toits de Paris for sale from a reputable seller in excellent condition in my favorite colorway. I found it because I had been checking obsessively and it finally paid off. The price was higher than any other 90 that I have purchased, but I did my own H math. The cost was still far less than three other Hermes scarves going for well under retail. Surely I could pass on three lesser scarves to afford this one? So I clicked Buy, and I have not regretted this purchase at all. I have not seen this scarf come along for anything less, and I have indeed passed on more than three lesser scarves. In fact, I have passed on so many other Hermes scarves that I'm probably money ahead.

Gorgeous. And that’s excellent H math too. Gold star!

 

[Karenska]

I swore off moussies, not because they aren’t special and absolutely gorgeous, but because I didn’t think I would wear them much. But when I saw @Living.la.vida.fifi’s recent acquisition in a purple/lime cw and then I found this darling on ebay for a very fair price, I had to have it, figuring I’ll wear it a few times a year. Le Monde Est Vaste in luscious fuscias, melons and lilacs ❤❤❤. I hope to wear it soon.

Yes- this is definitely YOUR week Cookie! But oh what lovelies you have found!

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…

Both such beauties, and designs that will be classic for a long long time! (Perfect CPW formula!)

Before we leave MAN week, here are three of them today: Les trois Mousquetaires View attachment 5121738

Man week (stress the Maaaannnn heavily) I love it! (And the scarf too!)

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.

You've definitely been busy too! Love that CW of Tyger on y'all.

 

[Cookiefiend]

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).


gorgeous look, Moma!

Well, I must admit - that was the best 15 minute waiting period EVER!!!

BTW there’s a changeant in a local consignment shop that looks a lot like what you’re wearing. $1225 if anyone’s interested

Lead me knot to temptation Snausages!!

Here’s another FOMO for me from a while back (see how I’m avoiding the damage in the past six months?)

I paid over retail, but it wasn’t too much. This is where the theorem Yes It’s Over Retail But It’s An Older One So Therefore Makes Sense It’s More Valuable Obvs kicks in. No regrets:
