Full weekly 2024 scarf-theme calendar is available here
Just tangentially on theme as I left the house very early to head down to Jazz Fest in NOLA. My slow-to-warm-up format most definitely has been the CSGM! However, I have totally made up for my early indifference in a torrent of enthusiasm which has led to a diagnosis of Severe Exuberant Shawl Acquisition Syndrome. Chevaux Deschainees is my SOTD for travel today.

Fab way to hide a border!
Fabulous! OMG your curls as well!
Congratulations @Lellabelle-- it is beautiful and so are you! Gorgeous mod shots. Be the Border is a great strategy but hardly needed here...what a great cw! Patience well rewarded with this one!
Love this on you, Redbird!I never noticed today's scarf until it appeared in my Hermès Pop-Up book.

Then it was an amazing discovery of this garden of delights. Le Potager Extraordinaire is my scarf of the day.

Superb tie for this, LKB! What a super way to highlight one of the best bits - I would not have recognised this scarf if you hadn’t identified the design!Happy Friday from the Crescent City everyone! I found in my NOLA scarf box a neglected 90 that clearly does not deserve Cinderella status. I love the artist, love the notion of a "Jardin Creole" (after all I grew up in Creole cultures and spend half the year in one now!) but somehow, this was crowded out by (too many ) newer arrivals. I love in particular the corner I highlighted in this mod shot so hat tip to @Forever Orange for reminding me that the Petit Bib tie allows one of the four quadrants to shine...

Edited to add a thumbnail photo!
I love this one so much on you!
Superbly styled! Such a pretty colour combination and so harmoniously balanced.I was very late at the ELeK party and, when I saw this CW - so beautiful on @Cookiefiend - I knew it would not disappoint and would fit nicely in my collection. I mean... look at this color combination!
I am so glad it joined my silk family.

I love this on you and I bookmarked for the pretty and casual knot! I am struggling a bit lately to wear my 90 silks ( new job and silk seems so out of place), but your knot seems lovely and appropriate 😍Stretching the theme a bit here, but Animapolis was a design I didn’t obsess as much on in the beginning.
I admired @LKBNOLA ‘s and others’ mod shots but I first saw these at a time when I already had a few blue toned scarves and figured I needed to be done with that category
note to past self:
aw you’re so cute, too many blue scarves? adorable.
Also I thought that this cw was too duplicative with my Pantin City, but while there’s some similarities, the designs are so different that I don’t think of them as interchangeable.
Happy Friday!

You look amazing, dear!Happy Saturday, everyone. Thank you so much to @bunnycat for a thought-provoking week. I loved seeing everyone's takes on this topic! At this point in my collecting journey I did not think I had any Cinderellas to share but it turns out the themes, as always are quite flexible. Today I have a belle of the ball to share: my SOYE, a new-to-me Fleurs d'Indiennes 140 wash silk in a beautiful and unusual coral cw with a delightful navy blue hem. A huge 🙏 and to @Croisette7 for pointing me in the direction of this wonderful piece. Never before have I attended an event where I received so many compliments over the course of the evening on my scarf!

I am meeting friends and then heading off to Jazz Fest for some traditional jazz, gospel and zydeco. It seems fitting to wear New Orleans Creole Jazz! One great way to wear a scarf in 85 degrees at a dusty fairgrounds when you are going to be eating a lot of scrumptious messy food, is to braid it! If I remember, I will try for a scarf-on-site at one of the tents later...
