Today's SOTD Carré En Carrès. I don't quite recall what I paid for it, but it was far less than whatever retail was at that point in time. The various colorways in the panels are not what would normally inspire me, but the contrast hem is the great equalizer. Admittedly, a weaknesss which might move me to purchase just about any carré of decent lineage, condition and price.

It’s a fabulous scarf and you’re right the contrast hem is winning!

Wonderful introduction and peek at your fabulous collection for this week of neutrals @Cookiefiend, J'aime ton Carré! ;)

Last week started with me breaking my laptop (10 inch drop off a stool onto a concrete floor did it in) and ended with me nearly losing my backup laptop to a full steaming hot cup of coffee that spilled all over me but missed my machine. The middle was all work and too little silk.

This week I'm going to embark on a some sort of Work Correction Program = tranquility.
Faubourg Tropical 140, encre and gris.

Quite lovely, this design is so special, EtsyBoss. And I love your pendant, too. May I ask, what are the stobes, please?

@Karenska the center stone is a London Blue Topaz meant to represent the evil eye that wards off bad spirits. It rests above an enameled piece that is a hamsa / hand of Fatima. My husband commissioned an artist to make it the year of the Arab Spring and surprised me for my birthday that year with it to commemorate our experience in Tunisia. It's a very special piece.

I am a little under the weather today, but I couldn't end the theme week without posting my luckiest CSGM purchase. I was discussing another CSGM with a scarf acquaintance and mentioned that I really would love to find Acte III in cw 13. She said she had one and rarely wore it. Was going to check how she felt about rehoming. A few days later she contacted me and said she was happy to let me have it and that it had been a sale scarf, so the price to me was ridiculously wonderful for a personal grail! I am not bothered by the very faint stamp which barely shows anyway. This colorful beauty always perks me up. I feel so lucky to have found it. Twins with @Croisette7 (my inspiration) and @MAGJES, who always has the most amazing collection of CSGMs to pine over. Many thanks to @xincinsin and everyone for sharing bargains, lucky surprises, accidental acquisitions and all the fun stories...

Good morning Scarflandia!
I hope you’re all doing well after losing an hour of your day, and big kudos to @xincinsin for our Bargoon and Surprises week!

This week, a subject near and dear to my heart - neutrals.

March 12 - Neutral of Any Hue - Black, White and your personal neutrals (White Day 3/14)

Not just white and black, gray and beige, but all the shades we find or think of, as Neutral… Just what is neutral?

The dictionary says - “a neutral color or shade, especially light gray or beige.
"classic shades of navy, white, and neutral"
Hrmmm

Professor Google shows me these colors

Hrmm… well that’s a start anyway.

I will admit that while I love All The Colors (except Pepto Bismol pink), I love me a soft, calm neutral. One those hectic days/weeks/months, sometimes you just need something calming around your neck!

My scarves are sorted by color - and by neutrals:
Dark
View attachment 5738313
And Light
View attachment 5738314

I have another drawer that we’ll get to later this week called Mixed Neutral, full of scarves that will make you say “Cookie, that is knot neutral” :giggle:
But they are, I pinky swear!

We all have different thoughts regarding
a neutral color or shade, especially light gray or beige.
"classic shades of navy, white, and neutral"
what we consider a ’neutral’ - is it color, is it gender neutral (winking at the men’s scarves), or does it just go with everything?
Let’s get off the fence , this is not Switzerland after all - and show our ’New-trals’!
Here’s a few to get us started!

Hello dear scarfing amigas and amigos! Thank you @Cookiefiend for the delightful introduction. Neutrals isn’t my forte at all:smile:) While I have a small collection of black and white scarves, I rarely wear silk in winter. I have to pull a few neutral oatmeal and gris de chine shawls this week out, but for now this is the shawl I wore last night to dinner - Appaloosa in my fav CW (I also have the exact same CW in 90 - how crazy is it?).. I love the design, the color combo (so rich and lush and alive!) and it drapes like a dream - whichever corner you like to highlight! Just looking at it makes me happy - Alice Shirley at her best IMHO. Happy Sunday everyone!

Crossover scarf that was a bit accidental (this is the one I got a seller partial refund offer on and ended up keeping) and is also red, which is a great neutral for me. Shown on the only bags I ever use for all daily and dress occasions, unless I need to carry a backpack or crossbody.

The only thing betta than a red scarf, is a red purse! :woot:

Good morning all and thank you ALL so much for the good wishes. I am feeling a bit better-- a scarf, lipstick and a mod shot moment definitely fakes a sickly spirit into thinking things are on the upswing!

Recapping to say that @Cookiefiend, @Croisette7 (previewing neutrals with those gorgeous snowflakes!),@Karenska looking ready for a parade in her green finery and @xincinsin's closing bargains and lucky surprises were a feast for the eyes and very cheering...

To start off neutrals for me, here is a crossover scarf. I looked for this design for so so long and tried so many cw options and returned, tried on friend's versions and was disappointed until one day on a site that does not list scarves by name, I saw a familiar design and thought could it be? In blue and grey? Oh, my. I took a chance and a week later it was mine for 50% of retail. I gave it a bath and ironed in folds and voila. I love me a good bestiary and Virginie Jamin's Cavalleria Favolosa does not disappoint! I also love the combination of blue and grey. L.O.V.E Love, love.
Tied to show a "fabulous" bird for @Teaforparrots and in a shorter version of the same fold:

This is a fabulous find. If I remember correctly, it’s based on old German/Bavarian drawings. You found the best color way IMO. I hope you feel better. Winter has a strong grip this year.

Beautiful shawl and last week was a strange one. Tranquility sounds wonderful.
