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

[Nomad]

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:

Beauty!! So I have an opposite rationalization to keep me in check. I say to myself, it’s an older scarf so I shouldn’t have to pay so much for it! Don’t do it. Just wait for luck! Haha. It works most of the time to not buy on reseller market. Phew. But the bug got me on several that I paid over for

Wayyyy too hot here to contribute scarf wearing pics, but I can contribute my stats/thoughts on sale goggles and h math. I apparently have paid $80-100 over on my La danse gav, my pastel Into the Canadian Wild, one of my ex libris kimonos, my pink/green Parures de Samourais, my white L’ombre des pivoines ( I haven’t worn!! :-/)

But my H math tells me that I saved sooooo much money on so many other scarves that it all balances out . Like two 140’s in great shape for $300-400. Those were my sale goggles lol. I couldn’t NOT buy them at that cost!!!!! My gavs for only $80-100. My 90’s for $100. But I will also say I have bought some with ‘oh my I have never seen this come up that often, I think I HAVE to get it at this reasonable price’ goggles on! n I haven’t Worn them and am not sure I will wear like this…

Oh, I've almost bought Le Moyen Age a few times. It reminds me of Chaucer. Why have I not given in yet? Twice the price soared high. Once, the seller only shipped within his/her own country. Almost every time: it's brown, and I should know brown and I aren't good friends.

I think you've justified it under Cost Per Wear! My anthracite MP was bought using the same H maths and law of averages as @Cookiefiend used for Amazones. My first was almost double retail but I really wanted it, there were fakes and this was a trusted reseller, and the reseller price at that point in time was generally double or more. Then about a year later, I found one that was less than half retail. No one else bid on it because I'm sure everyone thought it was a fake. By that time, I knew I wanted a 2nd piece because the first piece proved so versatile that it had become part of my travel kit. I have back-ups of all my 3 travel kit choices.

It really is wonderful isn’t it? And you have two! Wow!

Oh yes, this is a treasure!

I just love this design! You look lovely, Moma.

Thanks so much. The details are just amazing.

Woot - love this one!

It is so beautiful. Thanks!

gorgeous look, Moma!

Thank you, Agrume!

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



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

That was a great theme. The men's scarves (especially the colors) are often so much better than the women's. The new season items, for sure. I didn't show nearly as many as I have!

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. View attachment 5121891View attachment 5121892View attachment 5121890

When you first posted this I swooned! Excellent decision!

Good evening everyone! First, thank you @bunnycat for last week's theme. Great job and so fun to see all the selections.

Aaaand thank you @Cookiefiend for a great introduction. My first justification for my H profligacy in 2020-2021 (so far) was that all the $$$ not spent on hair, facials, Pilates, etc... was now available as discretionary funds for...SCARVES! So there was that. I was disciplined though for the most part sticking to my plan to acquire designs by two favorite artists. Then there were the purchases that fell under "lucky finds"-- the first of which is posted here. I am not necessarily looking for the "lucky find" but when I see it my fickle finger just can't stay within the budget lines and off I go. In 2021 I have bought four of these. This category is a close cousin of the "target of opportunity" purchase-- ie a scarf on my wish list that suddenly appears at a reasonable price. Have to do it, right? After all it is ON THE LIST. Basically, though, I just bought a ton of scarves. Who am I kidding? If you keep your wish list nice and long, you always have a justification seems to be my buying strategy. So here are one Lucky Find and one Target of Opportunity:
Lucky Find is Rocaille II Detail, which reminds me of a Sailor's Valentine) and Target of Opp is La Promenade de Longchamps:

Exactly!! I never wear browns!! And not really yellow. I think I saw it in a gray ( sold obv). Tho it could have been the photo. And yes it does remind of Chaucer! Thx for that. In the Autumn I will give it a whirl for sure. I just love the detail of the Notre Dame so much and am a sucker for Tudor architecture

Ohhh, thank you so much, Snausages, I appreciate the vote of confidence! ❤️

I love your rationale! And the scarves!

Thank you! The Notre Dame is wow worthy for sure. I think it’s called Le Moyen Age by Christine Vauzelles 1960’s but it’s also called Vieux Paris I think. I’ll double check with the book tmrw

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

Twins on this one - and to help reducing any possible guilt feelings - I paid retail and a half for this one too, just HAD to have it - it matched my H Shogun bag in Rouge H, so there you go
