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

[Coco2606]

Hello Scarfies,
I apologise for some mishandling in recent days. I still have to tame my new phone, especially because it won't let me resize photos.

IBut when even random colleagues ask you just how many scarfs you actually own, it’s probably time to slow down a bit…
So what ? That's your signature !

Practicing painless purchasing (PPP)

What does it exactly mean ?

Not exceeding my preferable number 8 per year (Reasonable justifications: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Easter, my Birthday, DS’s (=dear son) birthday, DD’s (=dear dog) B’day, H’s (= Hermes)

I am amazed by this mathematical demonstration !
As for me, I did a little inventory yesterday. The Universe is sending me a message... I have 66 in 90/90. Does this mean stop? Is 6 for the year ok? Should I let go of the 666? Isn't that diabolical?
In any case, I feel like Saint Michael in the desert when faced with so much temptation (I forbid myself to look at the other discussion with the newcomers). Fortunately, on the H site, there are no colours that I am looking for... yet !

Resolution number 3: shop in my collection.
Scarves always have a special reason to appeal to me. I may have a list of criteria, but there are still many temptations... For example, this year I'm going for Costume de fête and the little beads on the edge... My "Arbre du vent" will help me wait or resist!

Another delight is Le jardin des peintres. I like several colours but I'll have to try them. For the blue and pink, "Plumes en fête" and "Index palmarum" will do for today

You look marvellous in this shawl which is both colourful and calm at the same time. And your „Le Jardin de la Maharani“ is perfectly elegant and serene. One of my favourite designs ever!
I too want to compliment you on your interesting and lovely blog. The time, research and learning that goes into it is visible in every post. Your article on „Sous le Charme d‘Orphée“ made me love the design even more and to a point where I almost bought one even though I didn‘t like it on me at all. I hope you will feel good enough this year to join the forum quite often and write all the blog entries you want!

Thank you so much for that lovely and kind comment x

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 already admired your jewelry on your other post! So beautiful dear Karenska!

this was stunning in your model shot in 2022 . Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it

Thank you, dear Katharina and Nomad! Happy New Year to you both.

 

[Karenska]

Happy NY @bunnycat & Snickers!

I join you in your resolution @papertiger

Oh @millivanilli none?! Wow that would require too much strength for me!

Lovely inaugural mod shot @Coco2606

@Karenska your mod shots are always lovely!

Oooh @xincinsin that’s a great resolution! I have several ‘consolation’ buys that make me angry every time I look at them.

Happy NY @HermesHope and I’d love to see more of your smiles and scarves here in 2023!

Oh, thank you, dear Snausages, I am ing .

 

[Karenska]

Definitely not helping....
I have not said which format

Make that FIVE designs - oh boy, so much for starting off New Year’s right, whatever ‘right’ means .

 

[Karenska]

@LKBNOLA, catching up and on the 2022 thread, you said “Beautiful sister! I wore mine last night too. Happy New Year @Karenska!” in response to my post:

Happy New Year’s Eve! Chorus Stellarum with its eternal equestrian pas de deux. A very special scarf to ring in the new year. Enjoy your evening. ❤️❤️

Happy New Year to you and thank you. I love how you styled your beautiful CS, too.

 

[Karenska]

Thank you dear bunnycat for leading us into the new year with your wonderful intro. I love all your purchases of last year! Even if I have to say that Snickers is even more beautiful than your scarves
My plans for cutting down a bit on the purchases has just been made a bit easier, when I saw the price increases today on the European sites But as we all know, that only helps with the H-math in justifiying to buy grails and vintage beauties on the resale market.
My main goal for 2223 is going on with LKBNOLA‘s wise CCP! Since my hair color changed from dark brunette to grey I think beiges and neutrals are not so perfect any more. I still love them but I think I look better with stronger or darker colors.
So the consequence is to rehome some of my scarves. I would love to practice the one in one out rule, but there is little hope for success.

We’re all in a pickle, I think . Katharina, I hear you about strong colors. I love ‘em. Just gravitate towards them, maybe because my clothing palette is so neutral. Love those pops of strong colors!

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.




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!!!

This was my first go-to but I wasn't lucky getting one at these times. So I feel you and keep my fingers crossed that you'll find one soon! It is truly a marvelous design!

I want to thank everybody who planned the clever themes for every week of the new year and I‘m really looking forward to the lovely posts they will inspire! This is such a lovely community and being here - even though I quite often just follow as a silent reader - is always equally diverting and educating.

There are a great many good and sensible resolutions; it‘s very interesting to read how we mostly share the same sentiments towards the collecting and wearing of our scarfs!

My resolution is to be less lazy with scarf knotting because it makes me wear my 90 silks too little. It‘s easier to just drape a CSGM around me and call it a day than to find a good way to wear a 90 silk. Maybe I should buy some more scarf rings?

I have not yet found a way not to feel guilty about every new scarf I buy because I think I have too many already. (Not just Hermès but other brands and styles too; there is virtually no limit to finding new things I like and want to wear.) Sometimes I wonder if I should just stop looking for scarfs online once and for all - and yet I love discovering new designs and vintage treasures. I’ve already started to wear two scarfs at once when it was particularly cold outside, one as a wrap and another one as a head scarf. But when even random colleagues ask you just how many scarfs you actually own, it’s probably time to slow down a bit…

THIS!

I was just thinking that I was going to do some sort of tracking this year... I still have to update the inventory and face the inevitable confrontation with my totally unreasonable purchases of 2022 (nicely dodged during the last week despite the theme )
I searched for the source of the CCP@LKBNOLA in the archives but to no avail. Can anyone give me the link? Thanks a lot.

“…(nicely dodged during the last week despite the theme )”
I call it “scarf amnesia” . Really helps with the rationalization when you buy another scarf on the heels of the most recent purchase….
