I actually haven't tried it yet with any other color than black... :lol: I will have to fix that....


:loveeyes: A good FP pareo is a brilliant neck warmer. Mine get so much wear time every year... :yes: The colors look fab on you too!
I think of you @bunnycat (fondly!) every time I reach for a cotton
Resolution 5: let it go!

I think I've found the perfect anthem for the cruel dilemmas of the sorting collector. If my scarves could talk, I'm sure they'd be singing the Clash lyrics... (And I'd rather have that tune in my head than the Snow Queen... sorry if I polluted your eardrums...)

Until recently, the idea of rehousing a scarf was unthinkable for me. Nevertheless, the recent inventory is positive in that it makes me take a step back. So does @momasaurus ' courageous approach.
Anyway, I first considered the "butterflies in the stomach" effect that absolutely defines the favourites. Instead of wondering who should go, I prefer to select those I want to cherish (I have a lot of love to give). Finally, here is the pile of "slightly less loved than the others". I'd love your opinion.

I have to say that once the boxes were opened, it was like the first day again!
So should they stay or should they go?
SOTD, which almost went in the pile of all dangers and then I remembered that it looks great on black and goes well with this mohair jumper.

That’s a beautiful combo @Coco2606 and the dip dye should stay! And yes, culling is both fun and painful
Thank you @Coco2606, @Thelittlefoxes, @Living.la.vida.fifi, @Cookiefiend, @bunnycat and @Snausages for your comments and everyone for the likes-- it is hard not to love an ELeK! Looking forward to trying new pairing suggestions...

Oh, my goodness, terrible news @Karenska. I hope you will be able to update us later and sending best wishes for a speedy recovery and nothing broken! :hugs:

:roflmfao: @FizzyWater that is so funny but good news on the scarf front and excellent to hear your mom did so well. May she continue her recovery apace!

Wow! Look at this fabulosity @bunnycat-- love the center design peeking out among the swirls...

That is a specacular Pani le Shar @Living.la.vida.fifi and a beautiful pairing with your cobalt top!

A very very beautiful Feux du Ciel @laurenad! I just added this design last summer but mine is a fireworks cw! I also succumbed to Le Chat Carre in a very different cw. The comparison of the brushstrokes was made over on the seasonal thread and I think there's a more psychedelic, even a dreamy quality to the Sefedin while taking nothing away from Manlik. Definite similarities! Especially if you were choosing a close cw as you were considering. Of course as @Nomad points out, you do have cat anatomy to contend with as well... :lol:
View attachment 5683865View attachment 5683864

And with a fabulous necklace, too, your neck is doubly dressed @Snausages...

Very much in agreement with @Maedi here. I continue to learn a lot from your thoughtful color analyses @Redbirdhermes...

If you fall in love all over again when you open the box, that right there is an argument against rehoming! A second argument would be this lovely mod shot @Coco2606 -- to be sure this is different from your trademark brights but it is lovely on you and has a place with your winter sweaters. But I bet it would look wonderful on white or lighter blue or green for summer as well. I say keep them all but it is good to look more critically as your collection grows... And yes, now I have an "earworm" for the day thanks to Clash!

My SOTD is my new cw11 of Jaguar Quetzal. This started off being a CCP but has ended up being a duplicate. It started as a CCP on my very first JQ: the beautiful blue/brown/black. This was an early and beloved Alice Shirley in my collection but she and I have parted company on good terms. We had many joyful outings together, a beautiful complement to my then younger, brunette self. (Old mod shot pre-grey hair and lipstick adventures below.) I decided to find another, brighter JQ and last year I found cw02, a red/blue/green one-- quite dramatic for me. Even so I was in scarf lust with cw11 and kept an eye out-- y'all know how that is! In December I found cw11 but I simply cannot part with cw02! My beloved blue has found a new home with my beautiful 30 year old niece, who is just beginning her own designer adventures. So this may be less a tale of CCP than just the evolution of my love for a wonderful design... (and twins with @Nomad and @Awillow and @bunnycat, I believe!)

@LKBNOLA you have such amazing scarves! That FdC is a gorgeous red and I adore how the stars and swooshes add dimension. Fabulous addition of the JQ
“Should I Stay or Should I Go” is a wonderful theme song, @Coco2606 . Thank you for sharing. It nicely sums up my dilemma today.

It was two years ago, as I was sitting on a cold winter’s day in my lake cabin looking out at our lake all covered with ice fishing huts, that I found that La Vie du Grand Nord actually has ice fishermen on the scarf. I presume this is a unique feature to this particular Hermès design, as ice fishing is uncommon in most parts of the world. Anyway, I found and ordered this brown colorway on the spot.

View attachment 5683892View attachment 5683893

Now, the brown colorway is not a favorite so I’m thinking of putting this scarf into the CCP. But first, I did a little research into what colors are available. I discovered a thread from 2010 devoted to this design, and it was so fun to read all the excited comments as various colorways appeared in boutiques around the world. It seems that the purple was a particular favorite, but the brown was beloved as well as it shows the animals in their more natural colors.

My resolution is to hunt for another colorway of La Vie du Grand Nord this year. Should the brown stay or should it go? I think I’ll have to wait and see.

La Vie du Grand Nord is my Scarf of the Day. This scarf about Life in the North is especially appropriate as we dig out of fifteen inches of snow today.

This makes such a wonderful outfit! You can always find another colorway and decide between the two.
Dear Scarfies, my xray results came back negative on fractures and I am so very grateful. But I’m still in alot of pain (snarky :lol: here). Resting up and taking good care. Healing will be slow. I want to thank everyone for their heartfelt concern, good wishes and support. You all are so lovely, beautiful friends. I hope to be participating in a couple of days. Regarding this week’s theme, I don’t know how I can keep any resolutions that involve toning down the purchases :lol:. Right now I’m in love with several from the new season, contemplating a CSGT from last year, made my first purchase for 2023, A Real Deal :graucho: , and of course, there are the grails to look for :popcorn:. I’ve said it before but will say it again. Temptation, thy name is Hermès :girlshocked:.
So glad to hear @Karenska that no bones are broken and I agree with TLF that H therapy will surely speed your healing
Sotd.
Resolution is to wear more of my most loved scarves. So much of the time I am wearing a scarf to see if I love it enough to keep it. I also want to add that I bought the costumes in pink and told myself I am keeping it “even tho” it has a lot of bright neon colors. Well what do you know…so does this kimonos.
Another resolution is to wear my scarves more since I just can’t in the warmer months. I might get 5 wears in for 3-4 months of heat. So in keeping with that resolution, today it “feels like” 35 degrees and I am cold. So I popped on my new oh so love Fleece, Sweatpants, my coziest and warm purple Ugh boots and my silk haha. I am a sight, but I am happy haha.

Had a doctor’s appointment, so I actually got dressed.View attachment 5684085
Great colorway @Nhare and knotted so nicely
Back again to draping a shawl around me instead of properly knotting a 90 silk. But it‘s gotten cold again and this shawl is part of my new year resolution to get this grail of mine in a third cw.
View attachment 5684102
It’s a stunner @Thelittlefoxes and what a fun resolution!
To reflect the CCP theme I am posting Robe Legere again. Sorry for repeating: it’s my only multiple! It’s also an example of the design’s Colour Correction-turned- Passion.
Multicoloured image on white background with yellow border gavroche was purchased first in the absence of the desired red cw; it was intended for CCP, but joined the family and stayed permanently because of its happy-go-lucky character: it easily matches almost every colour! With the cold& dark season settling the red cw came along and warmed my heart (and neck). And then the pink 90 carre took my breath away and added soft glitter to the Christmas tendresse.
The earlier posted images were of more formal wear.
This time, it’s new year’s casual wear at home:View attachment 5684166View attachment 5684167

And here is the “rose” Robe turning the hooded house-gown into an elegant robe and providing therapy on an after-vaccination day:View attachment 5684181
These are all gorgeous @Stylehound and no CCP needed - this was definitely a CEP!
I didn't have a chance to post my workhorse Ceintures et Liens again yesterday, but today here is my new to me Sulfures moussie.

View attachment 5684249
I’ve never seen this colorway @Awillow - it’s gorgeous! I love a good black and white
Yukky weather again and I’m not feeling well but I had to take a minute to show how beautifully the shapes of my new necklace and earrings set complement the patterns in my scarf! Both artists were inspired by some natural organic shapes.

Thank you for the kind comments, Maedi. After I posted my light blue scarf photos, I noticed that half the time I paired them with gray tops. Those scarves look more washed out. So I decided to post Bottes with a light and a dark top. I think the scarf is more striking with the dark navy blue top. Note that I wore Mineraux with a dark red top (I was thinking of the colors in watermelon tourmaline) and that scarf does pop more than the Peuple du Vent on gray below it. Something I have learned and will need to remember when selecting my outfit for the day.

As for Faubourg Tropical, I had recently acquired the Milan Limited Edition, which had colors very similar to this colorway, except that the border is pink. It was a close call, because I do love that blue colorway, but the LE won. (Please excuse the browning of the pink in the lower right of the LE photo. The light was uneven and it really affected those colors. The pink flowers there were exactly the same in both colorways.)

Well - I love the brown.
There - I said it.
I have brown hair, brown eyes, and I like brown a lot... true confession time here!
And - it's gorgeous on the plum colored top!

What a marvelous resolution too!

(I had a funny conversation in the car with my granddaughter:
"I'd rather be cold than hot Mimi."
"Oh, really? Why's that honey?"
"Because I can always put on more things, like socks and slippers, blankets and fleece... but I can't take off everything in the summer"
"Ohhh... good point... I'd get arrested." :lol:)

Thank you fifi! I'll take a life sentence to cashmere... :biggrin:


Beautiful dark on brights!

Seasonal or knot - this is beeeeyouteeful on both tops!

Your posts are always so beautifully thought out… and thoughtful. I so appreciate it. I struggle with the ‘icy’ blues, so I understand completely!
This is a lovely SOTD - I’ll be curious to see if it makes the cut - oh - and kudos for the hemming!

oh dear!! I hope your ribs aren’t broken - my fingers are crossed in hope for you!

Ooooo - an Amazone! Congratulations!

That is just spectacular!

:faint:
glorious!

Twinsies @Coco2606 - this is a fantastic scarf and it’s perfect with your jumper!

@Katharina Luise you look marvelous in orange! And the scarf sings against the black!



I like FEP @LKBNOLA ! I smell a theme week in there somewhere… That ELEK is marvelous and so versatile!

Ty @Karenska !

This is a very pretty pairing @GloWW0rM and your knot so neatly tied

from one cookie to another TY @Cookiefiend

Such a thoughtful approach @Redbirdhermes - the boots look great against navy with the happy snowflakes complementing the pearls

But how could you not wear black with that spectacular GT @bunnycat ! It makes the primary colors just pop



TY @Living.la.vida.fifi and wow that Pani is amazing on cobalt! That combo is stunning

Beautiful soft blue @laurenad - love Sefedin

Thank you @Coco2606, @Thelittlefoxes, @Living.la.vida.fifi, @Cookiefiend, @bunnycat and @Snausages for your comments and everyone for the likes-- it is hard not to love an ELeK! Looking forward to trying new pairing suggestions...

Oh, my goodness, terrible news @Karenska. I hope you will be able to update us later and sending best wishes for a speedy recovery and nothing broken! :hugs:

:roflmfao: @FizzyWater that is so funny but good news on the scarf front and excellent to hear your mom did so well. May she continue her recovery apace!

Wow! Look at this fabulosity @bunnycat-- love the center design peeking out among the swirls...

That is a specacular Pani le Shar @Living.la.vida.fifi and a beautiful pairing with your cobalt top!

A very very beautiful Feux du Ciel @laurenad! I just added this design last summer but mine is a fireworks cw! I also succumbed to Le Chat Carre in a very different cw. The comparison of the brushstrokes was made over on the seasonal thread and I think there's a more psychedelic, even a dreamy quality to the Sefedin while taking nothing away from Manlik. Definite similarities! Especially if you were choosing a close cw as you were considering. Of course as @Nomad points out, you do have cat anatomy to contend with as well... :lol:

Thank you so very much for your kind comments, and dear @Karenska what great news! I just pray that you have a speedy recovery
 
This year I’m trying to identify holes in my 90s and (as someone said before me) shop my collection. The holes I can identify are warm greens (mostly dark), peachy pink, and the lack of anything with a strong border. As for shopping my collection, I was tempted by the cat scarf last season in the gorgeous beige dore until I remembered I had a similar style scarf with the gorgeous color fades with my feux du ciel!

What an extraordinary silk this is! Amazing tied and this CW is sublime

Who says pareos are just for summer?! There is so much fabric this Flamingo Party that found me through the magic of @Living.la.vida.fifi kept me warm

Both are so amazing on you! The FdC is showstopping and that painterly border of LCC is truly a wonder

“Should I Stay or Should I Go” is a wonderful theme song, @Coco2606 . Thank you for sharing. It nicely sums up my dilemma today.

It was two years ago, as I was sitting on a cold winter’s day in my lake cabin looking out at our lake all covered with ice fishing huts, that I found that La Vie du Grand Nord actually has ice fishermen on the scarf. I presume this is a unique feature to this particular Hermès design, as ice fishing is uncommon in most parts of the world. Anyway, I found and ordered this brown colorway on the spot.

My SOTD is my new cw11 of Jaguar Quetzal. This started off being a CCP but has ended up being a duplicate. It started as a CCP on my very first JQ: the beautiful blue/brown/black. This was an early and beloved Alice Shirley in my collection but she and I have parted company on good terms. We had many joyful outings together, a beautiful complement to my then younger, brunette self. (Old mod shot pre-grey hair and lipstick adventures below.) I decided to find another, brighter JQ and last year I found cw02, a red/blue/green one-- quite dramatic for me. Even so I was in scarf lust with cw11 and kept an eye out-- y'all know how that is! In December I found cw11 but I simply cannot part with cw02! My beloved blue has found a new home with my beautiful 30 year old niece, who is just beginning her own designer adventures. So this may be less a tale of CCP than just the evolution of my love for a wonderful design... (and twins with @Nomad and @Awillow and @bunnycat, I believe!)

Probably my favorite Hermès “cat” scarf… I loved it in every single CW… Your new lilac CW is a beauty

Sotd.
Resolution is to wear more of my most loved scarves. So much of the time I am wearing a scarf to see if I love it enough to keep it. I also want to add that I bought the costumes in pink and told myself I am keeping it “even tho” it has a lot of bright neon colors. Well what do you know…so does this kimonos.
Another resolution is to wear my scarves more since I just can’t in the warmer months. I might get 5 wears in for 3-4 months of heat. So in keeping with that resolution, today it “feels like” 35 degrees and I am cold. So I popped on my new oh so love Fleece, Sweatpants, my coziest and warm purple Ugh boots and my silk haha. I am a sight, but I am happy haha.

My fav design from the FW22 season… love this CW

Back again to draping a shawl around me instead of properly knotting a 90 silk. But it‘s gotten cold again and this shawl is part of my new year resolution to get this grail of mine in a third cw.

This shawl is extraordinary!

To reflect the CCP theme I am posting Robe Legere again. Sorry for repeating: it’s my only multiple! It’s also an example of the design’s Colour Correction-turned- Passion.
Multicoloured image on white background with yellow border gavroche was purchased first in the absence of the desired red cw; it was intended for CCP, but joined the family and stayed permanently because of its happy-go-lucky character: it easily matches almost every colour! With the cold& dark season settling the red cw came along and warmed my heart (and neck). And then the pink 90 carre took my breath away and added soft glitter to the Christmas tendresse.
The earlier posted images were of more formal wear.
This time, it’s new year’s casual wear at home:View attachment 5684166View attachment 5684167

So beautiful!

I didn't have a chance to post my workhorse Ceintures et Liens again yesterday, but today here is my new to me Sulfures moussie.

OK… Now I have a new obsession… I had never seen this one before… It is magnificent!

Yukky weather again and I’m not feeling well but I had to take a minute to show how beautifully the shapes of my new necklace and earring set complement the patterns in my scarf! Both artists were inspired by some natural organic shapes.

These colors are made for you

Another chilly day another pareo! I think this is only the 2nd time I’ve worn it as a scarf. I’m a third of the way there with 4 scarves!

Wonderful pattern mixing and this green is amazing

Jan B will put a smile on anytime. Feel better soon!
I think of you @bunnycat (fondly!) every time I reach for a cotton

That’s a beautiful combo @Coco2606 and the dip dye should stay! And yes, culling is both fun and painful



@LKBNOLA you have such amazing scarves! That FdC is a gorgeous red and I adore how the stars and swooshes add dimension. Fabulous addition of the JQ

This makes such a wonderful outfit! You can always find another colorway and decide between the two.

So glad to hear @Karenska that no bones are broken and I agree with TLF that H therapy will surely speed your healing

Superb pattern mixing @Nomad and never say never when it comes to H

Great colorway @Nhare and knotted so nicely

It’s a stunner @Thelittlefoxes and what a fun resolution!

These are all gorgeous @Stylehound and no CCP needed - this was definitely a CEP!

I’ve never seen this colorway @Awillow - it’s gorgeous! I love a good black and white

Jan Bajtlik can do no wrong and the jewelry is a great addition @Teaforparrots
Without swearing????

I love all the colors in that one. It is the Annie Faivre right?

My two SOTDs…
First of all, Fantaisie d’Etriers for my facial this morning. Of course, it came off and then re-tied after I finished

Tonight, I am on my way to see the musical Aladdin, and I’m wearing the blue CW of Sieste au Paradis giant silk

Beautiful fifi! You had a two scarf day! :tup:

I wish the colorway of Fantasie d'triers would come in. I just love that border that reminds me of the ric rac my mom would sew onto special pieces of clothing or home furnishings!

Indeed, match made in heaven: your jewelry and your scarf’ pattern, the blouse’s black background, the lilac jacket! Just perfect!
 
That is stunning with the light blue sweater - and ohmigosh - the light!!
(though 15" snow... no thank you! :lol:)

That is the perfect song!

The Surteint stays!
There will be no trouble (not even if you double!)
You must listen to what the Scarf Mistresses say
It should not be on the bubble!

(and you're beautiful)

Well - I love the brown.
There - I said it.
I have brown hair, brown eyes, and I like brown a lot... true confession time here!
And - it's gorgeous on the plum colored top!

oooooo :love:
I especially like the 3rd photo with the dark jacket!

Perfect!
What a marvelous resolution too!

(I had a funny conversation in the car with my granddaughter:
"I'd rather be cold than hot Mimi."
"Oh, really? Why's that honey?"
"Because I can always put on more things, like socks and slippers, blankets and fleece... but I can't take off everything in the summer"
"Ohhh... good point... I'd get arrested." :lol:)

And what a beautiful grail!

Welp - I love them all.
I guess I need to be on the Robe Legere Addiction team too!

:faint: So beautiful! :faint:
(what a marvelous neutral too!)

Oh - I'm sorry you're not feeling well!
Your new necklace and earrings are stunning and fab pairing with the scarf!

Wow! This color is astonishing - so happy!
And look at you, leading the way with 4 scarves in just 5 days!

(I'm doing it wrong!!! :lol:)
Thank you, dear @Cookiefiend! Team Robe Leger will be honoured! With your magic of pink wear, the “rose” cw on you will steal every international award!
Your granddaughter sounds very smart! I share her logic, and, certainly, yours! :)
