Indeed dear Karenska! It's a beauty!!! Love that happy, pink hem too....
Dear all
The colors of this scarf always cheer me up, and as it was only my second carré bought in an H boutique it also holds happy memories of wardrobes less crowded.
Sotd - for an art exhibition with DH - is Three Graces.
Have a lovely Sunday!!!

Such a happy colorway, and perfect subject matter for this week's theme HE!
Thank you so much @bunnycat for getting us started with some cheerful (and colorful!) levity and chaos-- love this concept. Your marble bandana always makes me a bit rueful that I didn't go for it-- it looks so fabulous on you! Pickles of course is always good for chuckle... Happy New Year to you!Good Morning Scarflandia and welcome to the 2024 edition of Scarf of The Day!
Thank you all for an amazing SOTD 2023! The Oscarfs Week did not disappoint! I loved seeing everyone's categories and choices, even if I didn't get to drop by much. Thank you to @Living.la.vida.fifi for hosting a spectacular week!
This year's changeover was the weirdest timing ever because January 1st was on Monday, so we went a whole week technically connected to last year because of the way the year ended, but actually in 2024. I hope that is not an inauspicious start for my year....(Really...)
But, it all turned out for the best, as our brilliant @xincinsin has given me a favorite concept week gloried up with a theme name. Yes, this week is a "no theme" theme week in disguise! What I like to call a "Chaos Week" where literally anything goes and you can't go wrong with anything you wear.

I'll start off with my Marble Bandana this week. The bright, happy colors of this bandana can't help but bring a smile to the face.

And double bonus points on this Flamingo Party pareo. It has a rainbow of bright and happy colors, plus who wouldn't have fun with a couple of Partying Flamingos in love?

That hem would definitely cheer anyone up @Karenska!
This is a super fun cw of Three Graces! Enjoy the exhibition @HermesEchidna!
My SOTD is a scarf that always makes me happy because...birds! Talking birds! Birds in their own house with all sorts of weird accoutrements and scarves with writing and scribbles-- all this makes me feel cheerful on a wet and snowy day...

Thank you so kindly LKB!
Indeed- now that scarf is such a cheerful concept! (And that it took 3 tries! Sometimes it does take a few tries to get what is in your head as "right" in to the scarf drawer. I am currently doing this with my ZP triangle. Still have FOMO on the vermillion one...still!)
Good Morning Scarflandia and welcome to the 2024 edition of Scarf of The Day!

@Karenska this is a gorgeous colorway and that pink hem is heavenly!
Love these colors @HermesEchidna (even if I can’t wear them myself) and especially love the flowers in the design
@LKBNOLA I’ve never noticed the swirly corners! And a beautiful knot!
@Living.la.vida.fifi @Karenska @Cookiefiend @Jereni @Lellabelle @Winter4 @LKBNOLA @MabelJo @Nomad @GloWW0rM @momasaurus
Thank you all for the sweet comments about my Over Achievers, my selfies, and my commentary. It appears I have enabled a few of you and I am thrilled about that. For those of you with BDGEF lust, there is one at AFF at a crazy good price.
@momasaurus You probably don't remember this, but you are one of scarf friends that I was bashing Baobab Cat to back in the day. We were on the same page.
@Karenska I may have plans for that Kuna Peuple. I originally sold it back because of that citrine border. But I adored the pink and purple center and couldn't forget it. I got the bright idea of becoming a scarf surgeon. Why don't I just cut off that evil border and re-hem it? It would be roughly the size of a 70 and would all my favorite colors. Except... between the time I sold it, and the time I repurchased it, someone snuck in gold details in the center. Where did that come from? So it is a coin toss whether I give it a hair cut or re-sell it. I am kind of afraid I might become a mad scarf hacker. Retour a la Terre would be great without the border. Just sayin
@GloWW0rM I am astounded that you have struggled with selfies. Yours are the bomb. @LKBNOLA you made my day, when you said I looked relaxed and that you confessed that selfie taking can be nervous breakdown inducing.
I am going to explain why I hate selfies so much and then I will shut up about it. (1) I have emotional baggage going way back. My father was a part time professional photographer in addition to his full time job. He had an at-home dark room and developed his own pictures. He was determined to make a photo-documentary of my childhood. He had amazing technical skill for back in the day when nothing was automatic on cameras, but his bedside manner really sucked. I had to freeze while he would scan me with the light meter. I hated it with the energy of a thousand suns. As a result my face freezes when anyone points a camera at me including me. I have an adversarial relationship with cameras. My smile on my frozen face always looks fake to me. In real life I have a wicked grin rather than a sweet, deer in the headlights, smile.
(2). I am 73. Selfies became a thing in about 2010 when I was 60. Normal people developed their selfie skills on Facebook. I boycotted Facebook because it was all my high school friends who wanted me to see their daily postings of pictures of their grandchildren. No thanks. As a result, I missed an important developmental skill--selfie taking. Everyone else knows how to do this. I don't. People who regularly post selfies have a formula that they have developed that works for them. I don't have a formula. I am bumbling. I don't know how high to hold the camera. I don't know what angle to hold my head. My arms are really long, but not long enough. I tried to order a selfie stick and ended up with a tripod. Taking selfies is such work and I end up with a lot of crappy pictures before I get one keeper. But I have to say, it is getting easier. Maybe now I merely dislike it rather than actively hating it.
(3). The camera tells me things I really don't want to know. I have been fighting aging, tooth and nail, since I was about 40. I lived in SoCal for 25 years and everyone there throws a lot of money at dermatologists, including me. It helped a lot, but when you are battling time, you can fight the good fight, but time is always going to win. When you age, you loose good stuff like hair and collagen and rosy cheeks. You get bad stuff like wrinkles and sags. I don't look in the mirror much so I am only minimally aware of these unfortunate occurrences. Selfies taunt me with this bad news. Gee. I need lipstick now. Gee, lipstick feathers now because of those lip lines. Then there is the unfortunate problem that scarf selfies focus on your mouth, chin and neck. You show me a woman over 65 who says her neck is her favorite body part, and I will show you a probable lier. I have a really discriminating eye and I am unreasonably demanding of myself in selfies. If I take enough selfies, I can get one that doesn't highlight things I don't want to highlight.
Taking these last pictures, I just faced the fear and did it, and it was not as bad as I expected. I am going to try to continue to do this and not whine about it. But I am so envious of the selfie skills all of you have. I imagine that taking selfies is no more difficult for you than combing your hair.
Thanks for listening to me rant. I promise this is the last time.

Thank you LKB! Pickles always steals the show.
I hear you on all this Cordi. I struggle with getting a decent pic most days myself (one where I don’t look cross-eyed and lacking about 3 weeks sleep). Many people on here neatly avoid the problem by focusing from the lower face down.
I should do them same and that would save me a whole lot of retakes on my phone. I also use a mirror no need for a selfie stick here! (I low key refuse to buy one.)- Status
