Scarves Scarf of The Day 2023- Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[Living.la.vida.fifi]

Good morning Scarflandia and Happy New Year to everyone!

I am sort of awake, and officially ready to start up with our kick off to 2023 now that we have kicked 2022 out the door. Let's start this year off right, with a theme we as scarfies probably spend a fair chunk of time contemplating.

01 Jan 2023- New Year Resolutions. Scarves for the CCP? (Color Correction Program Copyright @LKBNOLA) Learn new knots? Hunt a grail? Buy more blue scarves? Practice One in One Out theory?

At New Year, it is traditional among many people to take some vows of resolution for the New Year. For myself, I tend to go with the "best laid plans" theory and just don't bother. But this year (or this week at least) I am going to try to be strong. You might say my resolution is to turn over a new leaf if the scarf department. That is at least something I feel I have a hope of adhering to. Diets? Nope. Eat less chocolate? You're kitten me, right? Be less sarcastic at home? Good luck....

So this is my official Segue Sunday post as well as the official start to 2023.

Last week, you may recall I went a little in the scarf purchasing department during 2022. Let me show you my 2 separate pictures together.

Ok, now we see I have a problem, Houston. So my official New Years resolution is to cut my purchasing down a few notches. I mean, I am already not doing so well here with the new season scarves, but I digress. Perhaps I should start with something easier like a color correction program candidate, or buy fewer pink scarves.

In actuality, I did practice a one in and one out on the pocket squares during 2022 and hope to continue this practice. I bought exactly 1 pocket square in 2022, and one went to a new home! It even got a good home with a fellow tpfer so I know it is in GOOD HANDS!


After seeing a mod shot by our fair @LKBNOLA I could not pass up Peinture Fraiche with the striped hem! So that was my one in for 2022. I'd like to apply that idea a little more heavily in 2023.

Happy 2023 from Snickers and me! Bring on your New Year's scarf resolutions (even if they only last for the week!) and delight us with pics of your CCP possibilities and "how many more blue/purple/neutral scarves does one need?" conundrums.

View attachment 5681424

What a wonderful intro and welcome to our new year on this wonderful forum! And, even better with a glipmse of sweet Snickers! I concur with your resolutions

Best wishes for 2023!
My resolutions...
Low by (which means only one square for Easter, one for my birthday, one for my holiday and one for Christmas + two bonuses) so 6 in all - my lucky number- grails AND new collections included.
So brave.
I'm counting on your advice to select the squares whose colours suit me best and maybe (I say maybe) I'll let one or the other join a new home.
To start the year well, here is Objets de curiosité which goes with everything View attachment 5681438

It is truly a wonderful design… so beautiful worn with pink

I once encountered an SA who, although very friendly, kept suggesting that I buy scarves which I didn't really like because "you can frame them". I kept reminding her that I want to WEAR my scarves.

And thus, CCP and I really have to reduce the collex (I hear frantic squawking from the aviary ). This year, I resolve to be strong and not buy a scarf just because it feels odd to walk out of H empty-handed. I will buy only what I really like and what I will wear. As for CCP, as 2022 closed, I received a CCP scarf. I don't do well with most shades of brown, and you can't really see exact shades on the computer monitor, so I have mistakes I've been looking to replace a brown Rose Compass and finally found one in dark blue - much more to my taste.
View attachment 5681458

Oj, I like the blue so much better! And, for me, some dutiful CCP is also a worthy goal

Happy New Year to all of you lovely Scarfies!

My resolutions are as follows:

1) To try to actually wear my scarves more often! As I am just about permanently stuck in bed, I tend to slob around in pyjamas all day. I must try to put on something nice on my top half, plus some earrings, and get out one of my gorgeous scarves or shawls and wear it! What’s the point in owning these lovelies if I don’t wear them. Even if it is just for a couple of hours?

2) Follow this year’s thread! I kept up with the threads a few years ago, but have dropped off for the last couple. This moves so fast and I find it difficult to keep up. But I will try because you are such a lovely community on here.

You look amazing. This CW was a top choice for me and it is fabulous… Love the brooch/scarf clip

Thank you, @Living.la.vida.fifi , for a wonderful week of reviewing our favorite purchases of 2022 and helping us to go out of 2022 in style. Thank you, @bunnycat , for starting us off this year with our New Year’s scarf resolutions.

When I first began collecting Hermès scarves, my goal was to have enough scarves to cover the Scarf of the Day themes. The pandemic helped by curtailing many of my other activities, and I achieved that initial goal in less than three years. During 2022 I realized that there were certain designs and colors that I simply didn’t wear, so I began selling a few of my scarves last year.

My goal for 2023 is to sell more scarves than I acquire. FedEx inadvertently helped my cause yesterday by arriving on the last day of 2022 with four scarves from the new season. By my H accounting that makes them 2022 scarf acquisitions, rather than 2023. So, I’m starting with a clean slate as of today, with no 2023 acquisitions yet.

Still, let’s begin this brand new year with a brand new scarf. Le Carnaval des Animaux, CW09 in bleu jean/vert/beige, is darker than many of the S/S 2023 colorways, and goes well with the colors in my winter clothing wardrobe.

Bias fold with dark green top.

The knot I learned from @Agrume last year with pale tan top. This is my necklace of Fijian pearls.

Asymmetric fold with brown sweater. This top is the same color as the scarf hem.

View attachment 5681579

Light gray sweater with cowboy knot. Tahitian pearls with blue overtones. One advantage of winter where I live is that total snow cover acts like a giant white lightbox, making my pearls look their very best.

Golden brown top with a simple triangle drape because I wanted to show the elephant.

View attachment 5681580

Wonderful choice from the bew collection… So versatile and love that contrast hem

A new year's resolution is to wear more light colors with my scarves. I tend to wear a lot of dark (navy being my preference). I noticed in 2022 that some of the scarves I was drawn to were not compatible with those wardrobe habits and if I just budge a bit on that, I would find those scarves more wearable. Looking at you Orange Lanternes! I also did a little "Color Correction Program" and opted in the end to add the navy Lanternes (some habits really don't die!). Here's to sticking to '23 resolutions and trying out new colors and maybe even learning to appreciate them!

Both CWs are amazing and couldn’t be more different

I feel (at least this morning) that I have accomplished a great deal that I wanted to for my collection over the past three years. I had fun last year with new formats (140 silks and CSGM, Triangle Geant and mousselines) and I think all of those are where I want them to be. My first love is and always will be the 90 silk twill and I freely collect designs that I love whether or not I plan to give them lots of wear-- simply for the beauty and because they feel essential to a true collection. I often analogize my scarf collection to a good poetry anthology: it should have the classic, the innovative, the well-loved, that which endures and yes, even room for the occasional avant-garde or experimental pieces. For this year, I feel content that my CCP* are done and I am mostly finished with "backfilling" prior season scarves I missed. I have about a dozen designs and a few artists I would like to collect (including two unicorn grails), a few older design CSGMs as well. Other than that 2023 will be the year I assiduously search out the scarves of my birth year, as I turn 70 in October and would like 7 designs from 1953 if I can find them. So wish me luck! My New Year SOTD is the big sister to Chorus Stellarum: C'est la Fete. Happy New Year Scarflandia. Delighted to be embarking on another year of Silky Adventures.

And for @Coco2606 -- the "CCP" is just a three letter acronym I coined for a process of seeking a new and more desirable colorway of a scarf I already owned -- often because I had chosen unwisely, it no longer suited my look, wardrobe or style or simply because I saw a more beautiful one here! I put about 14 scarves into the CCP over the past few years...

Such a great post! And ClF is always a great idea

Happy New Year dear Anne! I am a huge fan of your blog and find your scarf reviews super informative and detail - some of the best online content on H silks! Your styling tips are also classy and tasteful - I always discover new ideas for myself. I am wishing you good health and strengh for the new year and look forward to more of your postings! Your Le Jardin is exquisite - my favorite CW of this design! Keep well and take care!

Hello, everyone, and so happy to begin 2023 in such great company and already seeing some fabulous scarves!

My New Year scarf resolutions are:
1. One scarf out - One scarf in.
This one is actually painful as I am dying to purchase a few scarves from the new collection but am refraining to until I rehome something of equal value. My present collection is out of control and there are literally not enough days in the year to wear them all so a lot of beauties languish in their boxes and that is a shame.

2. Be a little more aggressive with CCP.
There are designs I own in multiples just because I love them, however, not every CW works as well for me. So, even though it may be hard, this has got to be the year to say goodbye to some of my Jungle Loves, Mexiques, Hola Flamencas, Les Becanes, and a few others that I went overboard with in the past just because I was fascinated by the design. And, speaking of “colors” I find there is an overabundance of similar CWs in my collection and I think it’s time I reflect before I add “another blue and yellow scarf” or another “red scarf” similar to one I already own. And, if I must add that “blue and yellow” or “red” scarf, then I must do so when I rehome the one(s) like it that I already own.

3. Challenge myself to wear a scarf every day (even though I live in a tropical climate). And, on the subject of warm climes, no more CSGMs in 2023 and strive to rehome some of the ones I already own, which is an overabundance considering my geography

Wishing everyone a healthy, happy 2023 full of wonderful scarves!

Hello dear scarf friends! Am not a frequent commenter here - well, I look through the thread on occasion to admire mod shots or get ideas about some scarves in action - but never have time to really comment or post anything. Just wanted to send kudos to those who put these weekly threads together - very creative and super fun, I am admiring the level of creativity and dedication to this! I will try pop in and out on occasion - while I am mostly a CSGM wearer, perhaps this forum will make me use my 90 silks a bit more! Happy New Year to everyone!

Welcome Ashanti_Rose! So glad you have visited and hope to see you around. We aren't limited to just 90 silks here. the sky is the limit, and you don't even have to follow the theme if you don't want to. That could be your scarf resolution for 2023!

Happy New Year Bunny and Snickers!
I haven’t set any resolutions… but I do have a couple goals:
1) Sell the scarves that aren’t 100% favorites.
2) To attempt to pry my Sales Googles off…. This will be difficult - they’re so much a part of me! I find a good bargoon (copyright @Snausages) practically irresistible, and if it’s pink too - well - all bets are off.
3) Stop buying pink scarves…

It‘s January 1st, and I haven’t bought a scarf in 21 days!

Ohmigoodness - this is a gorgeous look!

So lovely to see you HH, and we all look forward to seeing you more often!

Holy guacamole - outstanding - It goes with everything!

Ooooo the red with your cream sweater is so beautiful! ❤️

Studies show that it needs 21 days to set a new habit... well done !

@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 . 3rd row is what left my collection last year. Carnaval de venise, and art du sarasa. Sarasa is going to be a ccp to another cw. I am thinking of @Teaforparrots colorway . And carnaval is also on a ccp to find another cw bc I Love the design. Something light colored because I have a dark of it.

Sorry my posts have been so long lately. These end of year and beginning of year ones get ya thinking haha.

 

[Coco2606]

There is nothing about this post I don't love @Coco2606-- your noble resolutions, of course but your adorable mod shot and your beautiful outfit were the true New Year's Scarf Happiness this morning!

Hey hey, new year, new skill: the multiquote! (I still need to practice...)
How sweet !
Comments like this make me love this forum more and more every day. What a joy to start the day with such positive feedback!

My first love is and always will be the 90 silk twill and I freely collect designs that I love whether or not I plan to give them lots of wear-- simply for the beauty and because they feel essential to a true collection. I often analogize my scarf collection to a good poetry anthology: it should have the classic, the innovative, the well-loved, that which endures and yes, even room for the occasional avant-garde or experimental pieces.

Now I've found my scarf soul mate for sure.

One scarf out - One scarf in.
This one is actually painful as I am dying to purchase a few scarves from the new collection but am refraining to until I rehome something of equal value. My present collection is out of control and there are literally not enough days in the year to wear them all so a lot of beauties languish in their boxes and that is a shame

If some of your wonders (and there is no shortage of them in your extraordinary collection) wish to cross the ocean for a return to their roots, I am willing to do so (but within the limit of 6...)

 

[FizzyWater]

I do hear you on the walking out of the boutique without anything just feeling weird. Love your new Rose Compass and hope the brown one finds a good home!


Beautiful HH! Being a big fan of the business on top and party on bottom theory, I almost never get out of yoga pants...scarf or no scarf! This thread does move fast, but you know, it's totally ok to just pop in when the mood hits you to say hi too.

So, even pre-pandemic, my working hours almost exactly matched store hours, and I'm not near downtown. Post-pandemic, I haven't been in a store in forever. I got to travel through LHR this holiday season, which I was super excited by. Was looking casually at scarves, a random guy walks in: "Is that a women's scarf?" "Yes, it's 900 pounds." "I'll take it." He leaves, I ask for a few specific things, none of which they have. She shows me some scarves: "I know this is H heresy, but I don't like orange." She gives me a sickly smile, shows me another scarf. "I... am not a horse person?" We agree that hopefully on my return trip they'll have SS 23 scarves and we'll have better luck.

This is possibly great for the wallet, but it feels weird.

 

[FizzyWater]

There are designs I own in multiples just because I love them, however, not every CW works as well for me.

I don't want to undermine your New Year's resolution, but you look great in really so many colors.

 

[Coco2606]

New prices are ... no words

 

[Coco2606]

Resolution 1 : 6 new scarves max (I saw the new prices last night and this will certainly help)
Resolution 2 : to apply myself a bit more to tie my scarves and fully pay tribute to this "art to wear".
Today, I'm going to take Mr. Cat for his vaccination at the vet. I haven't told him yet that I'm making him a sal... So "Pelage et camouflages" seems very appropriate.

Awwww- Snickers (and I) would agree with you with no doubt at all. I hear you on the changing of the color palettes. I have learned my lesson over the last few years. I do love pastels, but they often don't love me long term. I have learned to say no to pastel scarves, even when I love the design. I am also fearing a price increase here....
Snickers has had her new year tuna treat, and is very happy with that.
I second this....I am in your boat as well and will endeavor to implement this plan. Sadly, I am also already contemplating one last scarf for spring, as I am fearing one of H's dreaded NY price increases they always seem to apply.

I ditto this!! I actually wear the scarves I am trying to see if I should keep, more than the ones that make my heart skip a beat haha. How is that possible!?! Crazy really.
I also have scarves I haven’t worn since 2020. Just crazy.

and to the convo w @Coco2606, 6 is an admirable goal. I could def do 6 on new season, but it would be tough for me with so many older ones I would love to add .
Technically last year I acquired only 6, if you count 35 came in and (I just recounted) 29 went out…then I only kept 6

Thank you, @Living.la.vida.fifi , for a wonderful week of reviewing our favorite purchases of 2022 and helping us to go out of 2022 in style. Thank you, @bunnycat , for starting us off this year with our New Year’s scarf resolutions.

When I first began collecting Hermès scarves, my goal was to have enough scarves to cover the Scarf of the Day themes. The pandemic helped by curtailing many of my other activities, and I achieved that initial goal in less than three years. During 2022 I realized that there were certain designs and colors that I simply didn’t wear, so I began selling a few of my scarves last year.

My goal for 2023 is to sell more scarves than I acquire. FedEx inadvertently helped my cause yesterday by arriving on the last day of 2022 with four scarves from the new season. By my H accounting that makes them 2022 scarf acquisitions, rather than 2023. So, I’m starting with a clean slate as of today, with no 2023 acquisitions yet.

Still, let’s begin this brand new year with a brand new scarf. Le Carnaval des Animaux, CW09 in bleu jean/vert/beige, is darker than many of the S/S 2023 colorways, and goes well with the colors in my winter clothing wardrobe.

Bias fold with dark green top.

The knot I learned from @Agrume last year with pale tan top. This is my necklace of Fijian pearls.

Asymmetric fold with brown sweater. This top is the same color as the scarf hem.

Light gray sweater with cowboy knot. Tahitian pearls with blue overtones. One advantage of winter where I live is that total snow cover acts like a giant white lightbox, making my pearls look their very best.

Golden brown top with a simple triangle drape because I wanted to show the elephant.

I totally agree with you, @Katharina Luise ! The 11% increase on CSGMs is quite sobering and will make the resale market more attractive for me (as if it wasn't already ). Only one CSGM a year is enough (a new one fresh from the boutique, I mean...). I will vicariously enjoy the ones you, lovely ladies, will show in your beautiful mod shots .

Obviously the rehome-group is quite big at the beginning of the year! I am already feeling better by having company

Thank you, @Living.la.vida.fifi , for a wonderful week of reviewing our favorite purchases of 2022 and helping us to go out of 2022 in style. Thank you, @bunnycat , for starting us off this year with our New Year’s scarf resolutions.

When I first began collecting Hermès scarves, my goal was to have enough scarves to cover the Scarf of the Day themes. The pandemic helped by curtailing many of my other activities, and I achieved that initial goal in less than three years. During 2022 I realized that there were certain designs and colors that I simply didn’t wear, so I began selling a few of my scarves last year.

My goal for 2023 is to sell more scarves than I acquire. FedEx inadvertently helped my cause yesterday by arriving on the last day of 2022 with four scarves from the new season.

This is such a beautiful design and it is really versatile. And again gorgeous pearls dear Redbirdhermes! The varying colors of these Tahitians are tdf!

A new year's resolution is to wear more light colors with my scarves. I tend to wear a lot of dark (navy being my preference). I noticed in 2022 that some of the scarves I was drawn to were not compatible with those wardrobe habits and if I just budge a bit on that, I would find those scarves more wearable. Looking at you Orange Lanternes! I also did a little "Color Correction Program" and opted in the end to add the navy Lanternes (some habits really don't die!). Here's to sticking to '23 resolutions and trying out new colors and maybe even learning to appreciate them!

Both Lanternes are so beautiful dear EtsyBoss! And I have to agree, though I love the dark blue combination, the light really is radiant!
