You should buy every scarf H ever makes with these colors @Teaforparrots! Did you consider the blue Costumes de Fete? I bet you would rock that cw! Very cute glasses and there's nothing like a good haircut--except a new scarf!
A good jacket -- especially one that becomes a personal classic-- is exempt from everything in my stylebook @Lellabelle! The gift that keeps on giving. I just had to replace a beloved navy blazer. It was traumatic but I think I finally got it right...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!
A gorgeously wonderful cw on you and a textbook example of a perfect CCP @laurenad. Congratulations-- she's glorious on you!
Thank you so much @Living.la.vida.fifi-- I adore the caramel Tresors too
Thank you @Snausages-- I am trying to resist this design in a larger format-- a different kind of multiple that would require a different 3 letter acronym. FEP-- Format Enhancement Program?
It is really lovely in moussie form @Living.la.vida.fifi and
on resolution-keeping!Those are charming and you have the best scarf jewelry @Snausages! My one pup is running me ragged-- don't know how you are still standing with two new fur babies at home!
I just responded to @Snausages that the large format of this is soooo tempting! There's one similar to the blue crooking its finger at me from the web but I am being good...Do you have it in CSGM @Maedi? Would love to see...Thank you! They are truly different @momasaurus...
Stunning! Good work amplifying the pink in the scarf with your sweater @Coco2606-- I look forward to seeing it with other scarves!
Beautiful combos @Katharina Luise -- I can see why Nuba Mountain was the orange slope that started your slide down to H love! And you clic is gorgeous-- you are making me want one!Today was my orange H-Day! With the intention of wearing the bolder colors from my collection and wearing at least one scarf per day!

My last purchase of 2022 was this Sous L’Egide de Mars wash scarf. I love the feel of the vintage 70s so I had to have one wash scarf before they’re gone (hopefully not forever!).
Not a great pairing with my top today but I was running late. I’d like to pair it next with jewel toned tops to bring out more of those colours in the scarf.

Oh yes. Haha.
Wishing you success in your 2023 grail hunt! I LOVE this moody colorway and hope to find this design in 2023 as well.
Thank you! Fingers crossed.
SUch a glorious red!
Well now - you’re one smart and chic cookie!
Dearest cookie, this is such a refreshing post and I am taking all your advice and wisdom to heart even if not directed at me. Thank you
oh be still my pink lovin’ heart!

I love this look, it lets the colors shine!
I’ve not see tresors d’artiste modeled in this colorway before and totally understand why it’s a keeper. Stunning! Like you I rehomed some of the same colorways this year in an effort to downsize my collection. Unfortunately…..the additions outweigh the ones in my re-home pile. I need to work on that this year for sure.@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.
All of these resolutions are on my list as well. Good Luck!
HermesHope - I love, enjoy and depend your blog! Thank you for all the hard work. We are CSGM twins! This is one of my favorite shawls to wear and love the combinations of colors with the Gris Chine background.
You are right, Cookie; thank you so much for your encouragement! These scarfs are truly works of art and for me, they add a touch of colour, pattern and femininity to my every day clothes which - at least during the cold months and therefore half a year - mainly consist of jackets, trousers and boots. To me, there is nothing more feminine and beautiful than the statues of antique goddesses or patrician ladies in their softly draped garments. I guess my scarfs serve as a distant echo of this specific aesthetic which can impossibly be replicated in a modern day work wardrobe.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
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!
The colors in this new design are so feminine and fresh…..an excellent way to begin the new year.
Totally agree Katherina!I had to laugh out really loud at this dear Magjes! I believe there are never too many pink scarves in anybody’s drawer. At least my drawer thinks so…
I see you! I too had this feeling of a free fall, not a slippery slope!
I add your „pry my sales goggles off“ to my goals. I have become better. In the beginning I bought a lot of scarves that were rarely worn only because they had a good price.
The light blue is so htf and definitely one to keep in your collection. I also found the beige colorway this year (twins!) and love how you have paired with the bright blue top.
Lovely choice!
Good morning all. I have another New Year's Resolution which I tried and mostly failed to keep last year. One of my rationales for buying multiples of a loved design is that I look at the scarves as "seasonal" but honestly, that attempt to pigeonhole my scarves is quite limiting. While it may comfort my wallet (and my conscience) to think that each addition is serving a unique purpose, the silks themselves object! So here is my third (
) cw of Ex Libris en Kimonos which I persuaded myself was a "summer" option. Mostly I wear it casually, like this:
But like @Coco2606, I received a new pink sweater over the holidays and suddenly, I thought I might "winterize" my ELeK. So here is my SOTD in keeping with my new resolve to just wear the scarves and not be so rigid about their "place" in my Scarfdrobe.

The Pink/red la danse des Amazones is beautiful on you! Excellent choice.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!!!

I hope one day to find that “Sweat Dreams!” Haha. You are gorgeous!
My pink drawer is overflowing but I can’t seem to part with any of them.
I hope I love them! The new season is growing on me and i should really be making MORE room in my drawer instead of continuing to FILL IT UP.
Adorable!
Shopping from one’s own scarf collection is an excellent way to begin the new year.
@Awillow - I’m unable to comment under your post for some reason but wanted to say that I have always admired your red colorway. The absolute perfect color on you!
Today I'm reviewing some light blue scarves in my collection. Currently there are four light blue scarves in the rehome pile, which is, of course, subject to change. Two of them, Wedgwood (High Perch) and Hemispaerium Coeli Boreale (neither is pictured), have never seen the light of day. Just didn't like them when they showed up. Two have been shown once, an original issue Les Mineraux and the Aloha Rectangle (a pristine double wide scarf mispriced as a 90, although Aloha did show up a second time thanks to a callout from @LKBNOLA). Peuple du Vent and Le Jardin de Leila are constantly in danger of slipping into the sell pile. I love both designs, just not the light blue versions. The light blue Faubourg Tropical (not to worry, I still have three!) and Chacun fait son nid actually did exit the collection during 2022.
Light blue scarves that are definitely staying in the collection include Duo Cosmique and the Golden Jubilee Regina. Sous les Orangers is a grail that stays until a better colorway comes along, which may be a long, long time, if ever.
A recent resolution that I've made is to try, really try, to send back a scarf during the return period if I have my doubts. I managed to do so with the light blue double face Tigre Royal, shown here during a post-purchase shirt check. I kept the jade version.
The latest light blue scarf to enter my collection, (I knew I shouldn't get light blue, but it was a design I was considering and it was a 90 mispriced as a 45), is Xavier de Poret's boot scarf, A Propos de Bottes. I gave this 1998 release a bath and an ironing, discovered some missing stitches so stitched up the hem in a couple of places, and reattached the care tag that was literally hanging by a thread. (FYI, I had to repair a scarf some time ago and found a seller on etsy who had small hanks of silk thread in many colors for about $20. Now it's on hand and ready to go. Both times I found a perfect color match.)
So, this scarf is ready for its debut today. My fingers are crossed that this light blue wabi-sabi beauty finds a long term home in my heart and my collection.
My Scarf of the Day is A Propos de Bottes. This scarf is so soft, sort of like the muffled sounds outside thanks to our latest snowfall. Shown here with light and dark tops.
