We are sisters on all 3. I always enjoy seeing your choices!So in H math I’ve learned that budgeting is for the birds— quite literally! Here are two impulse purchases/lucky finds inspired by the bird theme week and one Wish List Fulfillment/Target of Opportunity that showed up unworn in a box at no more than retail.

Well done!!!Well here are the last 3 scarves I have recently purchased - all previously owned.
della Cavalleria moussie 140 - I got sidetracked by other beautiful moussies the season this came out - felt lucky to have found this a few weeks ago. I clicked “ BIN” very quickly. This Cw will be very versatile- with all the colors in it.

another purchase this month - I didn’t manage to buy maitres de la foret when it was originally released. I always knew this was the perfect CW for me- another BIN as soon as this was listed. all my favorite blues with a bit of purple.

and this one was a surprise - a beautiful moussie stole Tabriz listed at a great price with crummy pix. In fact it is very difficult to photograph moussies so they are often a b3autiful surprise when you open the box - even better than you hoped for.
lately I have been wearing a lot of aqua and greens so this was perfect!

More hilarious scarf vocabulary lessons (to go with the math!) and such beautiful scarves. Twins on two and I love to copy your styling! I did see a pink kachinas 90 with the green corners recently on the evil bay. Mine is the wash pink version with blue corners…
it’s so cute in orange and perfect on you @Pirula! Great scarf on site photo— you both look so relaxed and happy ( I did have a moment of fear for your bag toppling into the water…)
Gorgeous all around. Beautiful scarf and photo, @Thelittlefoxes.
Thank you so much @Living.la.vida.fifi - you are such a thoughtful collector that being your twin always feels like a good endorsement!
Format FOMO! This is so charming @Snausages.
All such beauties on you @Living.la.vida.fifi - fantastic borders and colors.
Oh, @bunnycat that cw of Zambezi is TDF. I missed it repeatedly this spring. I cant wait to see your mod shots of the bandana.
I was late to the Animapolis party also but I am your twin on this one and I have grown to love it @paula24jen. Now this and Cosmographia are in my regular rotation. I love your scarf ring too!
Thank you so much. Black (and blue) scarves are my kryptonite! I think collectors and devotees of beautiful things find many ways to rationalize their passion and to redefine what a “bargain” is! I am so guilty of this too @Thelittlefoxes plus, I love to browse anyway so I live on the edge…

Congrats!Just before "The Big Freeze" here in TX I located this Grand Fonds pareo for the price of a twilly (calculated Mod H so everyone here will understand)![]()
One must keep Sales Goggles attached to noggin at all times - you never know what you might find!This year has been punctuated by a couple of lucky finds, and at least one FOMOF (but I didn't settle) scarf. Though I have tried to tell myself I have been better about purchases, sadly when I add the number up, that is not the case. A lot of the purchases so far this year have been definitely OUT of the bargain realm and IN to the I'd better get this while I can realm.... Cha-ching $$$
One bargain I am very happy with (because, like our dear @Cookiefiend , I have a permanently attached pair of sales goggles on my head at all times...)

And under the concept of FOMOF (Fear of Missing out Forever) when the Marche du Zambeze came out, and was re-released in my fav colorway of black/purple/green I ordered it as fast as it could appear on H dot com (and it promptly became my valentines present from MrBcat's "SGV" - that magic place where future H scarf numbers reside....)
View attachment 5122807
The other FOMOF scarf still hangs in limbo in the SGV as of today, but I HAD to have it because I love the marble scarves so and wanted one of my very own.So my Kyoto Marble bandana from this spring's releases is still in the set of "imaginary" scarves FOMOF-i, since it don't exist here on my Real Scarf Plane (RSP) just yet. I am hoping it will get moved from FOMOF-i to RSP very soon-ish!
View attachment 5122809
That looks stunning on you - absolutely you did not settle for this beauty!FOMOFSIS, now there’s a thing; I snoozed the season Animapolis came out, by the time I caught up via tpf enabling they were pretty much sold out. My ever patient SA managed to find one left in the country but not my preferred cw, howeve it is one of my most complimented scarves. So meant to be really!

I love these black and white scarfs on you, they are so chic! I still remember that marvellous photo of yours with the black blazer and L‘Art d‘Ecrire which was just perfect.
I‘ve used the excuse „it‘s on my wish list, so I must get it when it shows up“ too. The trouble is that for one scarf on the list that has been found there are two new ones added to the list. So instead of getting shorter, the list is constantly growing.
This is so lovely on you and I always admire your beautiful scarf knots! I know what you mean with a different math for grails. Depending on the situation, I have very different rationalizing strategies to justify my purchases.
One of them goes like that: I have been looking for this scarf for quite some time now. If I don‘t buy it now that I have found it, I will have to keep on searching which will inevitably lead to more purchases of scarfs discovered in pursuit of this one. But if I buy it now my search will be finished which will safe me lots of money. That alone makes this scarf a bargain.
(Of course, this is total nonsense because I keep on browsing through reseller sites anyway.)
oh golly - gorgeous finds!Well here are the last 3 scarves I have recently purchased - all previously owned.

Oh congratulations, it’s lovely!Scarf mail try on. Not on theme And not with this outfit haha. Tried to show Notre Dame in front. Les Ponts de Paris.
This is a design on the lower half of my wishlist, in a color I finally found that I can work with and a price that worked. I can’t do the strong yellows that is so typical on this design. It is also a classic case of color distortion with online pics. I thought the ‘blue’ was a different ( better) blue than what showed up in my box. But it is still a good blue thankfully, phew. I love how the bridges look in this. View attachment 5123057View attachment 5123055View attachment 5123056
+1 - fabulous knotting!Love all of these and agree with everyone else that your knots and styling is A+!
I’m struggling to identify the scarf name in the last picture?
Yes! I love to try out new formats, too. Your Glam is super cute and the pink is definitely more wearable than the gold one I dithered over.Ok, this is a different kind of FOMO. Whenever H introduced something new (beyond designs/colorways) I feel like I must jump. I had one of the old patchwork scarves (the kind sewn together; long since rehomed), one of the first vintage silks (a 90cm Paddock, also long since re-homed)…
Anyhow, I rarely wear my glams because lamè feels either too fancy or too cheesy. But I’m a sucker for pink. So thank you for the impetus for my Boucle outing

Thank you!Yaaas! They are so easy to care for. As with other easy to care for formats, I wish H gave them a little more "intent". Most of the ones they are releasing now seem more like an "afterthought". But some of the older ones are very nice indeed! (Flamingo Party, Mythiques Phoenix, etc...)
Thank you! I am hoping to Hocus Pocus that little pretty out of Mr BCat's vault in a few weeks, if i am lucky.
These are all fantastic on you scarf1!
Thank you! That was such a lucky find!
Coming soon, I hope. It shouldn't be too much longer. This year will be our 9th anniversary. (!!!) And now in to the second year of both of us Work from Home (and we both still have all our hair)
Congrats on these! And that Flamingo Party!
Beautiful find! Congrats on that lovely score!
I know... I occasionally look and go![]()
Pretty soon....fingers crossed! (Still - will have to wait for cooler weather to wear it, I think.)
