some pics from the archive MP coloriageHello 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

Thank you twin ... don't you own the pink CSGM?That is beautiful-- and the pink one I am twins on as a result of your enablement @Croisette7!
It's esp. beautiful in blue with a green hem ... lovely knot too!Forgive the double post today, friends! After tomorrow, I will be absent from Scarflandia for a time. Even though I still will wear my scarves every day, real life demands are going to require a hiatus from my daily participation on this thread.You are all so nice to indulge my rambling burblings and babblings-- I will miss the eye candy and the fun and hope to stop by as I can.
Meantime, when I began collecting, I organized my acquisitions by artist-- it was just a way to lend some order to what was otherwise often just "Acute Scarf Acquisition Syndrome." Recently I completed all the designs I wanted of an artist whose whimsical style and charming subject matter really resonated with me. My five older grandchildren have each pursued music, dance and riding passions and I chose these so that I would always have the appropriately-themed design to wear to their concerts, shows, recitals and events. And since I love being a spectator/attendee, Soiree de Gala, the last one in my Clerc "family" is also perfect!

Very pretty, Jacq!I don’t have strict rules formulated so far, but there are some guidelines I usually follow.
- no equestrian designs
- no automobile or other technical designs
- if a design sings to me, I have to set it aside for a while. If I come back several days later and it still looks amazing go for it
- I am usually looking for good bargains but have not set myself a firm budget
- I try to go for designs that fill a void in my collection, especially trying to balance different formats and colors
- no duplicates (except for my Cosmographia)
- Buying directly from H is reserved for special occasions
- but if I love a current season Design online and later find it for less than retail that is a good reason to buy
My SOYD falls into the last category: saw it online and was smitten by it. Found it later on resale for a bargain prize. Also is my only Double Face so a special format.

@Jereni is my twin on this and has already shown hers styled beautifully. I think I know what you mean about the less useful corners on this one but it matches with more than two colors in my opinion: red, teal, blue, pink, white and the reverse side also goes with grey.
Every once in a while I tell myself I do not need any more blue scarves in any size, format or design. But, but, but. Blue is always a temptation for me, and even when I have acquired a grail design in a grail cw, I am not immune to adding a blue! Here's the most recent example: Les Oiseaux des Champs et des Bois. This blue treasure joined my gorgeous black one because, well, it's blue and also, as @Teaforparrots would say: BIRDS, BIRDS, BIRDS.

And while I was at it, I decided to channel Parker Posey's look in the recent season of White Lotus. I think it looked cool but without magnets or some other way to secure the scarf from slipping it was pretty unstable! Fun to play around though!

Channeling one of her lines from the White Lotus, I can imagine you saying in your best southern accent, "I just don't think at this age I'm meant to live without another blue scarf. I don't have the will."Every once in a while I tell myself I do not need any more blue scarves in any size, format or design. But, but, but.

Bingo!Fab outfit. 👍👍👍
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?
Great picture, too 🙂
Lovely!
Congratulations on your new phoenix! The purple and orange combo is yummy.
Haha - it is exactly this precision that we appreciate, dear @Redbirdhermes
Love the pearls, too.
Take care, dear @LKBNOLA and hope to see you here when you can. You’ll be missed!Forgive the double post today, friends! After tomorrow, I will be absent from Scarflandia for a time.
