aww, you are too kind @bunnycat! I'm so glad I came across this colorway - it doesn't show up very often!

Yes, I love the way the teal on the glasses matches the scarf! And well-spotted - my last haircut with the hairdresser I've had for decades - she is retiring. Much sadness!
This got missed in my multi-quote for some reason… thank you @LKBNOLA, that’s very kind! The jacket is a leather Barbour I’ve had for years, and it’s the softest leather I’ve ever found! Jackets are exempt from the ‘wear less black‘ resolution, right??
A similar thing happened to me through the last couple of years. Scarves used to be for work, or the occasional event, but I tried to make a daily habit of it during the pandemic and it stuck. It feels strange to be without one now. H magic really does go with everything!
What a beauty your Badines Marble is, dear @lanit! This one scarf can substitute for a dozen with its versatility!Happy New Year Scarfies! Thank you for the articulate posts of resolutions and lessons learned on our little thread and saluting all our current and past scarves mistresses for keeping our thread lively and interesting!
As my silk collection has reached a point of no more space in the tansu, I am definitely in that period of life of editing to as few scarves and shawls as possible. Last season I received only one very special silk and it was more expensive being a marble silk. I truly thought I could stay on my 90 ban forever but broke that resolution since the process of the marble silk and its design captured my heart.
So, to aid in this process, I go through my edits with the hope that rehoming them so that these beautiful scarves can be worn and appreciated by others as well as my letting go of things that I just can’t seem to wear due to current lifestyle changes. There are a number of designs that still take my breath away just looking at them, but the majority seem to be languishing in their boxes or shelves. that is the bigger battle for my heart.
Wearing what I have is my simple resolution as well as letting go. The new year is a time to refresh, renew and to pare down my life in general! I’m excited to leap into these goals immediately! Wishing you all great success, good health and scarf happiness for 2023!

You are a beautiful woman, @millivanilli! No extra pounds will change it ever. Your scarves and your doggie are beautiful too! Personally, I love all your scarves’ cws on you!Hello my dear scarf friends! I am thrilled by the great photos and information and enjoy the thread now already to the fullest.
Unfortunately, I was sick the last few days and have already missed the connection a little, but could start today with my color scheme problem scarves.
I don't have that many grand scarves (I'm terribly embarrassed, but for the life of me I can't remember it CGSM GSCM GSCM....) - And compared to you, of course, ridiculously few 90 cm scarves. I think the silk scarves suit me better because they have a bit of a sheen to them, the muted one of the CSGM GSCM - you know what I mean - doesn't suit me as well in my opinion.
So for now. let's have a look at the grand carres I own and the problems I have with some of them.
Apologies for the pictures, I'm not feeling particularly well yet, and I'm pretty unphotogenic unfortunately. AND I gained a lot of weight. I personally think, that I need a slimmer face to make the scarves look good, so some pictures are from those glory times when I ate properly and went to the gym on a regular basis......

Let's start with the scarf I've been dying to get: Large Triangle Sweet dreams in shades of green. I find it a little bit "dull" on me, althoug I really LOVE the desing and am a true Baijtlik- fan:

Let's move on to my problem scarf: Mytiques Phoenix in orange / blue.
The scarf has sentimental value for me. I bought it when I realized that I need to get away from certain people to be happy. So the scarf was an anticipated symbol of success, so to speak - and I wear it with pride today. The Birkin, which I requested at the same time, I still do not have, however.
That the colors do not look good on me I was aware at the time, but unfortunately not how bad they look..... I combine the scarf with earrings that were dirt cheap (8 euros?), but match the design perfectly - hopefully they never break

let's move on to Sweat Dream men's scarf- I wear it really seldom although I fought for it SO hard at the boutique. Perhaps that memory is attached to the scarf.. Sadly because I utterly love the design. And the typo "sweat dreams" Lord, I had to sweat for it... I took the foto today, you can clearly see that I am still sick and gained a ton! I am sorry for the ugly pic

Now let's have a look at my two most loved carres in big sizes:
Firstly: Fantasie indiennes. Initially bough to hang it on the wall but I loved it so much, that I decided to wear it. It came to me to Stockholm, to Rome, to Nizza, to Paris, to Vienna, to Triest and literally everywhere. That said I am still fighting with the yellow parts in it.
View attachment 5682532
and the last one in my small collection of bigger formats: la danse des Amazones. I figured out that the orange blue colorscheme of my Phoenix doesn't work so good for me, so I searched for a design I liked in red- tones. Initially I wanted to purchase Bingata, but didn't like it on me and fell in love with the little wise owl on it. Sadly I pulled a string at exactly that element of the carre with my morganite ring I purchased to wear it together with the scarf.

Thanks for reading my long long post!!!

Loving this week! My favorite design - cosmographia Universalis - was in hardcore ccp this year! I had three 90 silks and was very unhappy with two of them. Over the course of the year I admitted to myself that I purchased the white/pink/green colorway because it was available online and because my best friend said she thought it was pretty. I purchased the popular lilac, blue and pink colorway because of just that - popularity! I remembered how at the time, I saw the warm coral colorway and a little voice whispered - this would look best on you. But I ignored it in favor of going along with the masses and ease of purchase! I am proud of correcting that this year, offloading the two silks that weren’t working, and treated myself to this little beauty. Finally, the cosmographia that fits best with me!
Thank you, dear @Cookiefiend!I love reading your thoughtful posts!
You are knot a lazy knotter! AND - a 90 can be draped over your shoulders too! Just tie a knot in the end and call it a day! (as a bonus - you can sling it around to your back and knot worry about getting lunch on it!)
And - I'm taking you to task here- never feel guilty about something you love. I don't look at the cost, I never say 'OHMYGOSH I just paid so much for this piece of silk!', because it's not 'just a piece of silk'* - it is Art, it is Beauty, it is a silken barrier between you and our sometimes unfriendly world, a beautiful touchstone. I rarely wear necklaces because I wear a scarf - it *is* my jewelry (and frankly one heck of a lot less than jewelry) and I never feel guilty about them.
If someone is foolish enough to ask how many I have, I just look at them and say "A lot." In a tone that implies "none of your business" and they don't ask again.
*on the other hand - it is just a piece of silk - so wear them with love!
Oof - I hope your 2023 is absolutely fantastic - you deserve it, and I love your Objectives!
and - uhh - I LOL-ed at your Robe Legere addiction!
Oh my gosh - these are stunning together!
Honey - you're beautiful!! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
You're glowing in your Amazones - what a great cw! I agree that the orange MP (stunning design) needs a different color top - already mentioned is Turquoise (fabulous idea!) and Pink (I love pink and orange, well pink especially), but also gray. I find that I wear my orange scarves often with a gray sweater. I've also worn orange with orange (recently wore Sous Le Charme d'Orphee on the orange side with a darker orange sweater), oooh and with a warm tan color top!
But I'm serious when I say that you look lovely. Keep sharing your photos with us!
Cutie patootie!
These are both gorgeous - but yowza - that dark red with the dark gray is a fantastic look!
Another fabulous thoughtful post - thank you!
And - yay - I'm glad your brown JdH is staying! That orange hem is so marvelous!
(mine is staying too.... even though I didn't wear it once last year!!)
I love your thoughts and will take a mental note of them! It’s true and so nicely put - that scarves are Art, a “silken barrier” and a “beautiful touchstone!” These ideas will support me in “practicing painless purchasing” (PPP) as part of anaesthetic measures!
Very nice! I think this is the colorway I picked up at the Dubai airport boutique when I was there in November. It's the one with the sun in dark coral, yes? If so, twins! I haven't worn mine yet but looking forward to an occasion.
Even if I understand that you want to rehome some multiples or cut down on certain colors, I have to say you look so gorgeous in each and every one of your photos! And you inspire (enable) me to add more of those stronger colors to my collection. My plan is to add more red!
Thank you, all, so much!
Great post! And, it is very evident that you know exactly what looks best on you and what you like… great choices and decisions!@Living.la.vida.fifi I can so relate to much of what you said above. I have always tried to keep track of colors in my collection and not adding similar colors. But you know how it is..designs can be “different enough” to warrant still getting a “similar” color scheme scarf.
You mentioned reds and blues. These are my red and blue scarves. what I have kept, what I re-homed last year, what is on the re-home pile, what I am doing ccp with. Top row I have kept- Atlantide ( one of my fav scarves), tresors d’artiste ( I could ccp but I just love the sunflower in yellow), and that Canadian on the right sometimes makes it into the re-home pile because I Have three other cw’s and it’s similar to tresors. But I just love the design SO much it comes back into collection. 2nd row-The giverny stays because it’s not big swaths of red and blue. the artisans is actually on the rehome pile because I have 2 other cw’s I like better. But of course I see this pic and say…oh..wait…I just love those scenes on that and that red hem

Sorry my posts have been so long lately. These end of year and beginning of year ones get ya thinking haha.
Love this design and am so happy to be your twin
I love this CW… So flattering and wearable… Looks wonderful on you!
Such a clever knot! I must remember it when I wish to hide borders. I got an Eileen Fisher sweater exactly this color the other day and can’t wait to wear itThank you to everyone for your nice reactions to my resolution post! I can see that "rehoming" is a common theme as we start the New Year-- a natural impulse to shed a bit of baggage and start off with a clean slate. But I am only adding moreso I do not need to carry any guilt about them. Although all were purchased in 2022, I am counting them as 2023 for their date of arrival. In the meantime, I am challenging myself like @EtsyBoss, to rethink my top-scarf combinations. I tend to get into a rut but yesterday I paired a dark and slightly menswear cw of C'est la Fete with an ardoise blue sweater and I liked the freshness of the look. Today I am wearing my beloved Lanternes in the pink nacre cw on a darker top. I normally wear this with brighter raspberry pink, camel, white and black. Also trying a variation on the necklace tie and a "hide the border strategy, too!

Oh, so glad you finally found this beauty! Truly my fav CW of the design and looks amazing on you… I also love to wear it with cobalt blue and feel it looks fantastic with red as well
It is sublime!
Such a fascinating CW! I feel the design shines in this CW
Fabulous look!
All good and practical resolutions… i never got the GS Poinconne and so regret it! This is truly a magnificent silk
Oooh, so pretty! Is this the special edition?
All breathtaking! And, happy to be your fuchsia L’Arbre du Vent twin
This is a fantastic post! I love everything about it… TBH, I feel that every single one of these pieces looks amazing on you, including the beautiful MP!Hello my dear scarf friends! I am thrilled by the great photos and information and enjoy the thread now already to the fullest.

Talk about dynamic! This is fabulous!

One of my favorite giant silk designs of all time! Gorgeous colors and ties like a dream… and, it is perfect for every occasion!
Oh my hevens! Glorious!
I always admired this maroon CW of Artiste! My favs were the caramel, the cobalt and this one… Love the white hem so beautifully highlighted in this fun knot
Wonderful post that explains so much of the process… you decided well
My fav CW of this marvelous design… perfection for the kitty MomsI would say "stay strong" but I'd be lying as I would not be able to contain myself and go in for a "look see"...
A minor resolution in the last year or so was that I "had enough" cat themed scarves so I tried and tried to give Lazy Leopardesses a miss since I have several (3) Jaguar Quetzal scarves, as well as Ardmore Artists, Tigre Royal and several Dallet. Surely that was enough???
I am glad to have finally given in to this scarf because it is indeed very easy to wear, and I don't think it interferes with my others. But I really am fairly complete in the cat scarf department now. I did successfully avoid the Chat Carre' as every one I tried on was too pastel, and it was very prominent on the borders and so a no go for me. I am going to look at the new JL stamped b/c...Jungle Love....and I think it will be a very unique take on the JL design if the colors suit me. (Thanks a lot @LKBNOLA for the mod shot of your CW, and @Snausages for the boutique pics that sealed the deal on the red and bronze CW being a possibility for me.
) After this, if I start down the Cat Print Path again (officially CPP now, not to be confused with CCP) you can all collectively
me.
My lovely Lazy Leopardesses from yesterday.

Oh yes… my fav CW! This simple knot works so well to show its beautyThank you @bunnycat!
Occupational hazard for a Scarf Mistress @xincinsin -- happy reconnoitering!
Me too, @leechiyong and I live by the Bayou so....
It is gorgeous on you @bunnycat and I am happy to be your twin and sister and even though I have dogs and not cats, I have more cat scarves because they are so beautiful, including Le Chat Carre [gulp]...
It would be an interesting theme to consider other elements of scarf design besides color @Lellabelle-- scale, contrast, balance etc. I know I have learned a lot from my mistakes-- not every blue scarf is a winner and sometimes the most "left field" designs work like a charm. Sometimes it is magic and defies analysis and sometimes we can figure it out and work with it!
Solidarity post here (with over the top earrings and a sassy cat tongue front and center!)
