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

[Katharina Luise]

Early AM - My scarf resolution - NO pink scarves purchases in 2023!

By mid-afternoon.......I have already abandoned my pledge.....shamelessly and with much enthusiasm.....ordered (2).


Here's wishing a Happy New Year from MAGJES & Family to the sweet scarf loving ladies on tpf!

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…

Thanks for the warm welcome into the 2023 scarf universe @bunnycat and snickers! Some great themes to look forward to

In January 2022 when my youngest child was not yet a year old and I had just returned to work I decided I would treat myself to my first H shawl and walked out of the boutique with En Attendant Ulysse, which I had seen online and had fallen in love with.

People talk about the slippery Orange slope but, for me, it was complete free fall from then on. In 2022 I went from 0 Hermès silks to 4 CSGMs, 1 GT, 8 scarves in the 90 format, 2x 70s and 1 gavroche = 16 scarves

Even though I have 6 S/S 23 scarves on wishlist, my resolution this year is to exercise (some?) restraint and not buy them all. I’d like to slow down so that I may enjoy my purchases more and build my collection more gradually. The price increases that have hit the UK should make that easier as I’m having a hard time justifying more than one CSGM a year going forward.

However I’d still like to add a 140 silk twill and maybe another 70. I then need to figure out how to find some of the Alice Shirley designs I missed out on.

Resolution #2 is to find more time to play around with my scarves and try out different knots.

Looking forward to getting to know you all more and seeing more of your beautiful scarves in 2023!

I see you! I too had this feeling of a free fall, not a slippery slope!

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! ❤️

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.

I am already losing track, but I just want to thank those of you who have been so complimentary about my blog. The Scarf of the Moment posts take quite some time to compile and I really enjoy writing them. Please let me know if you ever find errors or any additions I could use. I will never use my blog for financial gain as it helps me to feel useful despite my health issues. I also point visitors back here to tPF quite often!

The price increase here in the UK has really shocked me, so I think I will be “shopping my collection” this year!

Finally, I don’t think that I have posted this photo with Plumes en Fête CSGM before. Apologies if I have…

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...

Your comparison to good poetry is wonderful dear LKBNOLA! And your collection shows this sophisticated approach. During the last year you were a permanent inspiration with scarves as well as your impeccable tying skills! I am happy to follow your journey in 2023. And by the way of course your C‘est la Fête is gorgeous!

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!

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!

 

[LKBNOLA]

Thank 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 more !!! I completed 90% of my Spring Season shopping (so happy to have done it in the boutique and online early this year before we return to NOLA) and I am expecting the very last CCP to arrive tomorrow as well as two others, but they are on the list so 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!

Ooooh what a nice CW for you (and quite different, if I remember correctly) - draws attention to your eyes!

It’s lovely on this dark cranberry color!

@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.

All your choices are great on you @Nomad but I do think I agree that given your color analysis of late last yeat, the Sarasa cw that @Teaforparrots has will be very very complimentary. As to Cranaval de Venise-- there are so many gorgeous ones you will have no trouble finding a light one to complement your dark cw! I do not know how you keep track of all your ins and outs...Amazing!

This is beautiful on you! A gorgeous design that really shines in this format. I love the pops of blue!

It was June of 2020 and I had just begun collecting Hermes scarves when @Living.la.vida.fifi modelled her Les Tresors d'un Artiste in the amazing beige, red, blue and green colorway and I fell in love with both the design and the colorway. A month later I found the design brand new at a great price in an acceptable colorway (meaning, not orange) and purchased it. A placeholder scarf, for sure.



It has taken 2 1/2 years of searching, but I finally found the original colorway that I fell in love with.



My original intention was to put the blue colorway into the CCP program, but maybe not. That's okay.



In any case, a related resolution this year is to limit the number of light blue scarves that I purchase. While I like light blue tops just fine, I don't seem to like that color in scarves nearly as much. I've mentioned this before, as it is something that has really surprised me.

Yes! This is the color top that I envisioned wearing with this scarf, had I been able to purchase it. Lovely, LKB. Your sweater looks warm and well-loved, like a well-lived life. Great knot.

I love Plumes in every CW that I have seen so far. But your CSGM is especially beautiful. Cozy and chic at the same time.

Congrats to your new scarves! Obviously we are far behind here in Germany. Until today we only got the price increase but not a single one of the new season scarves on the H website. The combination with this darker burgundy sweater is beautiful. It’s a wonderful warm color for winter.

Oh no! The light blue one definitely should not join the rehome staple! Imo it is a perfect silk for summer together with a crispy white shirt.

Happy new year, scarfies! 2022 was a culling and slow down year for me. I think I added approximately ten scarves total, and experimented with the gavroche format. I also unloaded quite a few scarves that weren’t bringing me joy, and just shipped off the last of them on December 30th! I have now got my 90 collection to 24 scarves that I love, and I’m planning on being very selective with future additions (no impulse buys!).

As for the CCP, one combination that always entices me is pink and yellow, but unfortunately these seem to be the scarves that end up the most on my chopping block. I have decided that one cause of this is the white that is often prevalent in pink and yellow scarves. White seems to be my scarf downfall. My last scarf of 2022 attempts to correct this, adding pink in a bit of a warmer tone, and pale yellow, but with no white (with the exception of one white moon). Still mulling, but so far this works better for me!

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.

This made me laugh! I don’t like orange and orange doesn’t like me.
also, I usuallly avoid the horse and equestrian theme scarves.
despite this I have managed to amass too many scarves!

This morning I was in the mood for an alternative to the Colliers et Chiens I usually wear around the house to brighten up this gray shirt. I settled on my other wash scarf, tied to keep it out of the way of plant repotting and other tasks. I took some photos, which reacquainted me with the fun details of this Laboratoire.
