HI Cherryblossum! Thank you! I actually have two pics!

I took a pic of what I did with the 2 twilly's the other day (though only one claims illustrious H parentage, LOL) :p They did go together nicely, I think. They are just twisted together gently so that each one shows its colors and tied in a quick knot. (I live in a very hot climate and so large scarves don't make a lot of sense for me except in fall/winter, but I love my little bandeaux and twilly type scarves because they don't take up so much neck real estate and are fun all year round.)

Also, I was reading through the thread and earlier someone showed the trick of tying the wrist knot, so I had to try that today also and took a pic while waiting for hubby so we could go cabinet shopping. It works like a charm. I'd have never thought to do that around the wrist, though I use that pass through all the time on neck scarves.

The H scarf in both pics is Bouclerie D'Attelage twilly.

Thanks for letting me join in! I hope to do so again soon!

Today's combos are a little more elaborated, I've used the same technique for both of them and the final result looks exactly like a GM. I hope you like them:

Azulejos + Domes Celestes:

Oh my goodness, this is complicated for me, birkinmary! I'm stuck!
Could we hear the right answer from you maybe on Saturday night? Or maybe rosamonde will show up here with her mod pics?
Anyway, many thanks for your tutorials and Gorgeous photos,birkinmary!

I used to wear scarves with suits, back in my Corporate America :p days. You probably aren't old enough to remember the book "Dress For Success," but in the late 1970s through perhaps the early 1990s, women who wanted to be taken seriously in the business world had to sort of dress like... well, like men! The "uniform" was an unadorned navy twill suit, severely cut, with a straight skirt, hemmed just below the knee; a white silk blouse; navy pumps; a strand of pearls; and small pearl stud earrings. It's difficult to imagine, these days, but there was very little leeway. The suit might be grey, or (maybe) black; the silk blouse might be pale pink, or (perhaps) have a thin blue stripe, but that was the extent of the deviation.

Well, I wasn't an employee, I was a consultant, so I could indulge in a bit of "frivolity." And the way I did it was with my Hermès scarves. I'd still wear the darned navy suit & silk blouse, but when I knotted a scarf over the blouse, and added an interesting pin to my jacket lapel, it was my little form of rebellion.

I hope my little trip down memory lane hasn't bored everyone to tears!

Elaine, that brought back memories! And I added little silk thin neckties with my corporate suits.....the forerunner of my twillies, I guess but twillies are ever so much more fun!!!

Beautiful combinations, Birkinmary! My goodness I have seen so many beautiful scarves the last few days I feel breathless ( and envious!!)

Elaine, your post made me long for those days when I also wore severe cut navy and gray suits. I was the youngest among the members of my department, most of them men as in those days women were mostly PA's. The dress code bored my immensely, my touch of rebellion was shoes, that I freely used like a signature feature. I should have used scarves instead!!!!! Thank you for the memories :heart:

Hello, I4H! Thank you for asking!

I folded each scarf on the bias, twisted them around each other, tied all four ends together, and then did an "infinity" wrap around my head--that is, I just placed the open loop around my neck, twisted it once upon itself so that I now had two loops in an 8 shape, and then put the second loop also around my head. Puff, fluff, and go. ;)

Very creative rosamonde, I was thinking cowboy knots with the knots hidden underneath the folds.

Hi ladies,

I've been a lurker here for a while, and today I have decided to share. I have a very small collection of H scarves - only 5 so far, and one is still en route to me - but I love the "Charmante aux Animaux" SO much that I have it in 2 cws! They both fit largely with separate parts of my wardrobe, so imagine my surprise to find they actually work TOGETHER....

I've been trying without much success to make two scarves work! Today I finally had some time to play, but it has been rainy and dark, so the colours are not looking quite right.

But here are:
Qalamdan + Ex Libris en Kimonos

and

L'Art d'Ecrire + Carnaval de Venise (both are navy and not at all black, as they appear)

Wonderful combos, especially the first - like some fabulous bazaar of textiles!
