Good day, dear Scarfies,
Happy Sunday and the final day of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Hosting this week will be a hard act to follow after @Cookiefiend ’s stellar captaining of our silky ship. Cookie, your daily offerings and thoughtful comments were delightful and inspiring, and relating the story of how you acquired your Voitures Exquises was the frosting on the cake! :ty: I also want to offer an appreciation and shoutout to everyone who participated with your own silk treasures. :ty: Your offerings and comments are equally delightful and inspiring. This forum is such a joy and it’s because of YOU! :ps:

Take a Chance on Me!
Step Out of Your Comfort Zone in Design, Colour or Style!

Who hasn’t been faced with a sartorial choice that requires a leap of faith, to trust your own instincts and follow them? I remember a pair of high-heeled pumps that I bought when I was about 22 which I deemed impractical but essential :lol:. Oh, they were gorgeous. A deep winey red snakeskin, they were far more elegant than my wardrobe at the time. But they turned out to be very versatile. I wore them with everything. Touches of deep red, burgundy with navy or black, even with straight-leg jeans, they provided a bit of elegance and a pop of color. And as my wardrobe grew, they became even more essential. I wish I had a photo of them. I wore them for years.

Back to scarves. I took a chance on this colorway and I have never regretted it. I always loved the all-turquoise cw, but when I managed to find it, I was underwhelmed. Also, it was in poorer condition than described so back
it went. So I reconsidered this cw, which I originally thought too bright. But this beauty has enough turquoise to temper the bright green, and enough to satisfy me. Also the touches of gold, greys and taupes are such pretty accent colors. And it’s such a bright and happy green! Finally, this scarf turned out to be the perfect choice because I acquired it from a tPF member, which makes it all the more special to me. :hugs:And my brother had sent me a monetary gift, which I applied towards the purchase of it which makes it even more special - :hugs:, bro!
Here is my final tribute to Her Majesty the Queen on her Platinum Jubilee, Les Normands by Philippe Ledoux, commemorating the Norman Conquest, a watershed in English history. Paired with a pearl and sterling silver torsade and Tara brooch (the decorative border reminds me of these pennanular designs).

Thank you for this interesting introduction and your scarf is an absolute beauty with its variations of turquoise. I am excited for this week.

What a wonderful week we had last week with @Cookiefiend and our detailed scarves. I especially enjoyed the details of how you obtained your Platinum Jubilee scarf. And, I'm looking forward to @Karenska and more stories of our more difficult scarves. I'm especially delighted to hear you are still loving that Les Normands. It looks amazing on you.

Today I’m wearing Regina, which was the Queen's Jubilee scarf in 2002. I purchased this scarf and it sat until we had a sleeper scarf week and then out it came. I am thrilled to own it, but I tend to wear my red Regina more often. As I go through my scarf collection I find that light blue scarves don't get worn as much as other colors. So, I'm more cautious now about which scarves I get in blue. This special blue scarf is a keeper, however.

The Queen owns this scarf in a different colorway, and I attempted to duplicate the headscarf orientation from this photo today.

A closeup of the flower petals and the leaves next to it show this is the same design.

My SOTD is the 2002 Golden Jubilee Regina.

And, since I haven't worn headscarves since I was a child, here is a bias fold for today.

It is a beauty. This shade of forget-me-not blue seems not that common in H scarves.

Beautiful Karenska!
I look forward to stepping out of my comfort zone, and showing the scarves that I sometimes ask myself “What was I thinking?!?” :lol:

What beautiful details RBH, and you wear it beautifully!
(light or icy blue is a color I struggle with too!)

Thank you, Cookie, but also those scarves that were out of your comfort zone and then surprised you and now you can’t live without ‘em!

This scarf suits your coloring so well, Cookiefiend.

Thank you dear Eagle!
I looked to see if I had any mod shots of ACdelaV with lavender or pink, but (to my surprise) I've only worn it with dark green or black! I shall remedy that the next time I wear it!

Well this is an easy one… FdC in yellow…the one and only yellow item in my closet!

It's gorgeous and against a lovely backdrop!
Do you knot care for yellow - is it not a color you ordinarily wear?

I have no quarrel with yellow but 99.9999 percent of the time it has a serious quarrel with me. :-) I took a chance on this scarf because it looked like the rare shade I could get away with, and I was rewarded!

It was only my second day on the forum in June 2020 when I stopped to admire this red Jungle Love Tatouage (Tattoo) on @CanuckBagLover . At the time I felt that scarves with more colors were a better value than single color scarves. It is my casual observation that the more complex colorways of a particular design come out first, then simpler colorways appear later in the design run. (Mountain Zebra and La Patisserie Francaise are two examples.)

But, I still love this scarf, so two years later I have finally succumbed. Introducing my red jacquard Jungle Love Tatouage (Tattoo).
