Wow — all of these are stunning!Hello, dear Scarfies! I am flying back to Cape Cod today and look forward to catching up on all the thoughtful posts about everyone's rules and "dos and don'ts" as I travel. Many thanks to @Agrume for her always wonderful hostessing and examples! I will say that over the years I have had what I consider to be more a set of organizing principles than rules, and even those have been honored more in the breach than in the application. I seem to always break out of Ban Island, too.Buy what you love is the best rule!
I am off topic today, but I thought I'd share what I wore the past several days:
Tulipomanie GT in three different ways-- this has convinced me that this piece is a fantastic travel option! It goes with anything...

70 Aloha Dip Dye in a new-to-me cw and Ors Bleu d'Afrique, a second cw for me and a real "bargoon" from last winter. I took a chance on this one and I am very happy that I did. It was perfect for a live music event (and I did wear my cowgirl boots)!

And for a benefit dinner and concert, I wore my beautiful Acinonyx Jubatus, 140 washed silk.

The weather has been gorgeous, the jasmine is in bloom and the rain mostly held off-- a perfect southern spring weekend...and now, back to real life and its demands...
So happy you could get it, darkstar! I have MP in many colors and formats, like our xincinsin. The design is so beautiful.Hello and good morning,
I have no problem at all with buying several cw of the same design. First, if I love a design and it has been issued in many attractive cw, I often like to have more than one. And then, I don't believe that anybody I cross could distinguish and assign different cw to the same design. Other than you scarfies of course who see it at first glance!😄 I have had this twin Phoenix with Croisette7 for quite a few years and bought another one in an auction last week. No bargain, however. 😬 Brought it to the dry cleaner's this morning, so here's only yesterday's draping shot. And tried my classic one with a jacket yesterday, a quite formal look, and with my suede shirt today. It looks perhaps best with my mint green cardigan which I'm too lazy to dig out, sorry. 🫣View attachment 6165294View attachment 6165295View attachment 6165296
Hahaha! With the rain we had this weekend, we almost did! The power to the garage went out and we are running new electrical. Pulling wire through conduit turns out to be rather a challenge!Very pretty! What is the trench for? — are you building a moat?!![]()
Lovely! What’s your rule about scarves with borders?

It is just so beautiful the way you pick up the gorgeous railing color with your sweater @CoastalCouture. Hope you had a fun dinner...
The Acinonyx J is beautiful beyond words and makes for a fab ensemble. I think we’re Aloha dd twins. This was a short visit. Safe travels.
Gorgeous @Maedi. @Redbirdhermes inspired me to add this design as well. This one makes you look radiant. It was a short visit. Had a chance to hear some amazing jazz/klezmer/spiritual and go dancing to a truly fun group called Chapel Hart-- they had the room rocking for almost two hours! Thank you for your kind words.No real rules for me, preferably no modern weapons or hurting animals. Loving nature, horses, flowers, animals and anything tied to a memory or interest. It’s mostly an emotional affair.
Voie lactée today inspired by @Redbirdhermes albeit in opposite coloration.

Thank you so much @AnnaE -- I am smiling because I think that black/white/red Ors Bleu d'Afrique would be darling on you!Wow — all of these are stunning!
Interesting "experiments" @HermesEchidna. Jersey was not a success for me either and I limited my Maxi Twilly to one (small pointu as well). I have also one each of the MT "Cut" (shorter) and one of the MT "Slim" (longer but less voluminous). Very envious of your Savana Dance-- I would love to add that cw to my bright one!Good morning!!
Trial and error have made one rule for me which I try and follow: stick to known formats which I know how to wear.
But time and again Something cute at a good price lure me from my principles. And on arrival teach me that the rule was there for a reason.
Examples of ‘adventure purchases’:
Duck or rabbit 45x45 - too small for me to tie but adorable
View attachment 6165247
Triangle Tiger Royal - also adorable, but did I need more light pink scsrves?
View attachment 6165248
Jersey silk triangle - feels like whipped cream but nearly impossible to tie
View attachment 6165249
Maxi twilly. And an addition to our Brazil examples. I love all that silk, but where do I put it?
View attachment 6165250
And - as this was the last I tried on - this is my sotd. A 70x70 Savanna dance. Also a bit small but Lovely colors and good when it is a hot day - and today looks like it is going to be

Wish you a nice square 90x90 day!!!
Congratulations @darkstar66. Very beautiful addition.Hello and good morning,

So beautiful @Croisette7! I am working on adding this design myself. I have only the new little 70 dipdye and I am in the hunt for a 90 as well. Love the pueple and yellow coloration...
Thank you dear @Lellabelle, my Cavaliers has precious fairy godmothers and your advice is very much valued.Your rules are structured and speak to a self-awareness and sensibility that will serve you well @FA73
One more voice to add to the ‘chorus of keep’ for your cavaliers. This is such a rich, glowing orange, made unique with the lavender detail. The design has a lot going on, but I don’t find it ‘busy’ on you - it’s well balanced and ties like a dream. A statement piece might ‘stick out’ in an otherwise orderly collection, but every wardrobe/collection needs one; it serves a purpose and isn’t meant to ‘fit’ with the others 😉
And, if you believe in signs, a 200 day round trip could be a sign that it was meant to stay with you
Fab outfit. 👍👍👍This Brazil Detail is a bit of a rule breaker, as it has very prominent borders. But I love the borders (even tho I am hiding them here).

Oh this is lovely on you, @CoastalCouture. And I can see it getting lots of wear, with similar colours (but a very different design and scale) to your beautiful Botanica. Is the snake the ick-factor?It's been a busy few days and there's no let up in sight till the weekend. My rules are pretty general.
Rules are just guidelines and sometimes you can override them. Maybe it's just icky in one corner? Bottes, I'm talking about you! Acquired just yesterday in Boston. I suppose you can call it my SOYD.
- Don't buy anything I will not or cannot wear. Only choose colours which are flattering.
- It's ok to buy something to go with one only one outfit, especially if I spent 80-100 hours making it.
- I absolutely love contrast hems.
- I'm open to sizes; right now trying to build my CSGMs and GTs.
- If it's been a long time since wearing or I've fallen out of love, move it on. Except for Coeur de la Vie, keep this one forever because it goes with a Chanel style jacket made from fabric I bought in Paris.
- I generally stay away from wide borders, white borders and backgrounds.
- I stay away from icky subject matter but . . . .

Haha - it is exactly this precision that we appreciate, dear @RedbirdhermesMy first Regina happened to be the special edition issued for Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee in 2002. I later purchased the same scarf in red.
View attachment 6165349
After learning more about the design and it's many reissues, I exchanged my later issue red Regina for an original issue red Regina. The scarves themselves looked the same. But I'm enough of a nerd that way.
Original issue from 1972 red Regina is my scarf of the day.

Thank you! Your enthusiasm, modeling and background knowledge really spoke to me. So double thank you.Absolutely gorgeous, Maedi. One of my favorite designs. Every colorway makes my heart beat faster.
Another wonderful Toutsy design and yours has so captivating colours.💛💜
