Lovely intro to the week and to the year @bunnycat - as always all your scarves are happifying but once again Pickles steals the spotlight!

@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!

Hi, scarf friends! Can’t believe it is 2024 already! These are my most recent Scarfmail: the new Flagship scarf and a vintage Joies d’Huver. Will have to think of some fun ones for the coming week!

@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.

Lol, I can relate to most of this. Heck, I can probably add a syndrome or two! I’ve learned that - no matter how much confidence people show in pictures - most people share some of the same fears. Good on you for throwing caution to the wind and doing it anyway. This is an incredibly supportive place to share if you want to.

@Cordeliere you made me laugh. It was great to see you finally! Think you look amazing and younger than 73 wish I could say the same . I think most ( all) of us struggle with selfies. At least once we get past a certain age.

Good to see you Scarf1. It is a pleasure to see the evolution of your interesting and distinctive collection.

Your explanations have vivid images popping into my mind. Frozen deer in headlight smiles, turkey necks. Need to take a breather…:lol:

Will be back:flowers:

And you don’t look 73!:faint:

Thank you. I don't have a turkey neck yet as far as I know... It is probably on the way. In fact, if I take a selfie tomorrow, I may discover one crept in over night. :lol:

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....:lol: (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. :lol: The way I figure this is, generally we aren't wearing our scarves to be depressed, or overly stern, so literally anything you put on this week will fit our theme of levity. I know I like to lift my mood and my look with a scarf. So whether it is color that gives your scarf levity, or subject matter, a fond memory a particular scarf invokes, or just the fact your are *wearing* a scarf, let's bring on the levity for the New Year.

=>>07 Jan 2024 Lil Bit of Levity: Fun scarves to start the year on the right note.<<=


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?

View attachment 5925742


As always- Jungle Love....Leopards in love...instant levity (and so sweet...).

Here's a little Pickles levity for you to start the week. He wants to go outside.

But I just want to take pictures of his enormous whiskers! :roflmfao:

Wonderful kick-off to our 2024 SOTD thread @bunnycat! I love your examples, the marble bandana especially. I procrastinated and missed out on this beauty, I'm so happy that you got yours. :heart: I love Pickle's and those super long whiskers - they're perfection!

Karenska said:
Great start to the new thread, Bunny, and please thank Pickles for dropping in and gracing us with his purrfect presence. What a darling, handsome boy. Your offerings are lovely, I am quite in love with your JL CSGM - such an elegant cw.
Well, what could lift a mood or start a day better than this bright and happy cw of On A Summer’s Day (and keep ya warm and cozy, 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!!!

I just love your colorway of Three Graces (hello scarf sister!) @HermesEchidna, it looks fantastic on you. So cheerful and happy. :sunshine:

LKBNOLA said:
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 for the marvelous introduction to the first week of the 2024 Scarf of the Day thread, @bunnycat. I am crossing over to Levity Week with one of my 2023 Oscarf nominees. I already owned two colorways of Animapolis, but once I saw mod shots of the red Godzilla, I had to have him.

My scarf of the day is Animapolis in CW02, the bordeaux/rouge/bleu.

Your red Godzilla is gorgeous @Redbirdhermes, I just adore this colorway. Happy to be your Animapolis sister. :yes:

Jereni said:
Must start the happy scarves week with my happiest of them all, which is Au Royaume d’Helios!

View attachment 5925826

And a new-in happy scarf is the Hermes Horse Club gavroche. I’ve been more less stalking this for months but just hadn’t found it in a store to try on so I finally had my SA order it. It’s so cute and cheerful! (I’m using a chain here to extend it a bit).

Two beautiful and cheerful choices @Jereni, I especially love your Au Royaume d’Helios, in fact I'm heading to my boutique tomorrow and it's on my list of scarves to try. :happydance:
Karenska said:
This is a fabulous cw, RBH, so rich. And since we’re talkin’ selfies, yours are wonderful! Grand pearls, too. Ok so here’s my very gay cw (gay in the old usage) of Animapolis, that riotous city of all sorts of merry creatures.
