I have never seen anyone look so amazing while ’swamped’ in silk!! Congratulations!!This week is about resistanceand capitulation
Which is also the story of this design: a complete comedy of lust, indecision and FOMO.
When H first released Clair de Lune, I love love loved the design ... BUT ... yes, there was a but. I find 140 silks very difficult to use. Too much silk for me and I get swamped. And it was round - would I look like I'm wearing a tablecloth? My SA showed it to me and I sighed over it but reluctantly decided not to buy it because it was a lot of money to spend on a scarf that I would likely never wear. My SA agreed and swept it away (the hot pink cw, I recall).
Then Clair de Lune was released as a double-sided 90. Oh yes! But it was during the pandemic and there was a run on the scarves here. Gone were the days I could hem and haw over various cws. My SA made an executive decision and reserved a cw for me. There was zero choice because all the pieces of Clair de Lune were reserved.

The round version still haunted my mind because every now and then, a scarfie here would post a modshot that made me second-guess my decision. On Monday, I was browsing a local resellers inventory because I was considering selling to them. And lo and behold, they had the round scarf, like new, for half the retail price. I bought it and picked it up the next day. Because at half-price, yes, I can afford to try it out.

High fives to you cutie!Thank you to everyone for the likes and loves on my "Jungle Chickens"! A few days away from y'all is like entering quote eternity...never ending pics of swoonable loveliness. Going to try to not miss any photos and have read, chuckled and nodded along with comments as I caught up...
Twins on the first @ajaxbreaker! I think you were among the enablers-- I glimpsed it out of the corner of my eye as I was leaving the Short Hills boutique last spying and they had exactly one fresh one left in store. Now it is mine all mine....I love you grey one also. Perfectly styled.
The most beautiful colors on this blue cw of LM @paula24jen -- how did they carve up the elephant outline for the triangle I wonder? Could we see it flat?
These are gorgeous, @Redbirdhermes. I particularly love the first-- never have seen that green in natural light...
Both are beautiful-- transformed by the colors which is why multiples make sense amirite @Cookiefiend?
A marvelous pop of colors for you-- this happy little gav is absolutely charming and perfect with your lovely hair or on your neck @ajaxbreaker! Lucky find, too.
A group of giraffes (I learned this week while reading a fun book to my grand-little) is called a "tower"-- the perfect collective noun for your stunning beauties @MAGJES-- and I adore Kantha too- I am twins on the pink 90-- a fun and pretty scarf...
Welcome, @greycity! I love your scarf (on my wish list actually) and hope to see a lot more of you on the thread!
A lovely and colorful herd @Redbirdhermes! I remember when you helped me decide between cws for mine...
Wonderful @labelo and congratulations on adding the little zebra to your dazzle ()
Oh, my @Snausages. This collection of Shirley designs is spectacular... and beautifully knotted and styled.
Le sigh @xincinsin ... that is all.
A magical scarf association @EtsyBoss-- of course you had to have this in your collection! Beautiful photos of a memorable moment.
The SE is TDF @Nomad but I am twins on the first and I adore the moody blue color and the hem. I mostly wear it with neutrals so maybe that is why I haven't experienced it as difficult to wear. The lazy scarf lover's color pairing approach! Navy or cream...
Wow! A trifecta @Cookiefiend! Beautiful and so dramatic in the large format.
Such a lovely 90 in that season @de vent and I for one found it so hard to settle on a cw. Love this blue with the yellow hem and I think the twilly was just perfectly done. Still want to add one myself and I am not even all that much of a twilly person!
This is a marvelous multiple for you. Each of the colors is perfect @Teaforparrots. Echoing the bid for a triple scarf tie!
I can't even (as the young folk say). This is amazing @MAGJES. What an achievement as a collector.
Oh @Julide, your multiples mod shots are just works of art in themselves. I would totally buy a giclee print of this...Amazing.
Sweet photo! Who cares about makeup when you have cat snuggles? I too have Tigre in different formats @bunnycat. These are marvelous...
You know I love this so much @Nomad and I have you to thank for my own sweet orange bookcase!
Beautiful Equateurs @Redbirdhermes -- I too have the wash version. It is luscious...
Wow! Another Multiples Marvel @Snausages. They are each fabulous but that Cosmographia CSGM in yellow/pastels is TDF.
And these Awooooos!!!
Beautiful both @ajaxbreaker! The CSGM is amazing.
Congratulations on your cataloguing achievement @Karenska. You will know when the time is right to add a kitty to your family. Beautiful Kachinas here!
I just adore this design-- the soft yellow cw is lovely on you @Nomad.
Gorgeous @Agrume-- safe travels to you!
What a great story @xincinsin! Who among us does not love a scarf bargain and successful hunt tale? Can't wait to see your tying experiments with the new one. And as your twin on the double face, I can't help but love it...
And thank you for your kind words!
Wow… gorgeous!
I gotta say tho - that lavender shirt is lovely!!
❤️❤️❤️
Well… yes I consider myself a dog lover…. But I only have one CDC!!!
Fantabulous collection, I shall attempt to catch up with you… but WOOF!!
Now stop it - you temptress you!!!
(Beeyouteefull!)
Ooooooo - lovely!!
All right now Orchard… you and @Snausages are killing me!!
That moussie is gorgeous!
It is such a great design - congratulations!
Y’all stop it now… so much beauty!!
Wow Nomad… these are so lovely. ❤️
SOTD for DH and I to commune with friends over the Hudson River SkyWalk and then lunch. It was a spectacular day and I wore my bleu jean cw of Les Mustangs bandana. I also own the noir and a navy 90.
I had good intentions for this week, but as usual ‘the best laid plans’ all went out the window…. But the bedroom in the basement got repaired, a missing drain was installed,
I Marie Kondo’ed the library (as well as super dusted) and got the smoke detector replaced. Whew!
Todays double (mint twin), well triplets is Kachinas!
SOTD pink!!
And archives of the navy and the GT ❤️

Love this design! We are twins on the circle one, I have the navy CW of the double faced scarf....it's way too warm to wear any scarves now. I've never thought about wearing the circle version the way you have tied it, I'll try more knots and see if I can wear mine before the week's theme is over.
Oh my goodness these are all stunning! I’ve had various versions of both designs (TBH I feel like I can say that about any design
) and if my scarf drawer had unlimited space I’d have kept them all. Will live vicariously through you!Always lovely to see you and I hope things settle down in a positive manner so you can enjoy your silks and we can enjoy your elegant mod shots! I know what you mean about KO realism and I struggled for a long time with it. You’ve mastered this beauty with panache!
Wonderful trees and that pink
I love that thunderstruck feeling when a design speaks to you!Such different designs and across formats! Both gorgeous and I love the Chou Chou! The colors are so varied too - it is true there is a shade of every color that flatters!
You are putting my bandana-less status in jeopardy!
Another amazing display of different colors and formats! The contrasting tops really make these scarves pop beautifully- brava!I had good intentions for this week, but as usual ‘the best laid plans’ all went out the window….

I Marie Kondo’ed the library (as well as super dusted) and got the smoke detector replaced. Whew!

That orange hem on the SD mousseline!
The Vie au Sauvage with the grey border is so lovely. I missed out on this design.
Aw thanks dear. I love my silks, just finding it hard to muster up flinging them on but the weather is perfect now!
Thank you!
Thanks hon; this one is easiest of the KO silks to wear.
Dear partners in crime!
Your pictures and stories provided effective guilt-relief this week! Thank you! It’s so good to laugh together through constraints, bans and infatuations.
Never thought I would fall for the same pattern in a different colour!
My latest coup de coeur - Rob Leger’s Gavroche Twill. Originally I wanted to get a blue or a red one, but the store did not have any of those. After trying a multicoloured cw with an orange borderline, I fell in love with it, bought it and discovered that it was almost like neutral, matching nicely blue, and beige, brown and grey, complimenting casual t-shirts and jeans. The thought of the red cw haunted me for four weeks and I reasoned with myself successfully, though. Finally, my alternative inner voice convinced me that I deserved something extra for the up-coming b-day. I thought I would just go and check, and since the store didn’t have the red cw i, perhaps, would just safely order. You know the end of this vignette: the store has got the vermillion/rose/grid cw 11 just that very morning I decided to check. My “red” Gavroche came home with me
I hope to be super strong not to check on the blue cw and the 90 carres!
