There are times when I feign memory loss and if it makes me smile when I put it/them on (I have a bad shoe habit too!) then I figure it's ok.It is, indeed, Jahna. And I agree, my SA pushed me over the edge with this one, and just after this, with this indigo Eperon d'Or which was even more pricey, go figure... This is why I'm so very banned now, without any regets, though
D Lee, I used to LOVE bright scarves when younger. Now I'm old, and bright colors don't suit my old lface anymore... Times are changing...
This is four scarves stitched together, my dear paula24jen. I still say aaaaargh saying the pricetag, but, gah, I did it!

Ah my dear D Lee, you tell the words of youth! I can understand the compensation principle, but the point is, my face doesn't like bright colors anymore. And as I cannot change my face...Thx ladies! U've been most kind!
Oh Anfang, my theory is that the older I get, the brighter the colors I like!Maybe this is compensation.I used to wear neutral colors when I was fresh out of college decades ago! Times are changing. I must wear bold colors to make people think I am younger!
lanit, u are one lucky lady! Both neutral & bold colors look equally cool on u!Super special silk Anfang - it is no wonder you fell head over heels for it! It looks marvelous on you!
Pegase - I too fell for this one - it came in after my yellow and turquoise one. I think I have fallen in love again with it. But are 3 ACdlV too many?Must have a neutral and a bright, don't you think? The Tigre looks amazing on you and I can see it must be a workhorse (cat) for you.
This morning camellias in the garden caught my eye, and I do wear this stole every morning while taking the pup out for his morning run. Collection Equestre was the first H cashmere stole and men's silk that I purchased. I think I share ogling the men's silks as much as Anfang and Pegase.Happy Spring and almost April Fool's Day.
You look amazing in these brights dear. I have been looking out for a folklore but am thinking an older vintage one might be just the ticket. Are you enjoying one more Han the other? Thank you for the compliment.I don't understand why I wear these two scarves the most. Maybe it's because I like dark-coloured clothes & these two go well with them!

I love camellias, such an elegant flower. And another winning look, lanit!
It's all about the scarf, ms piggy! It's the scarf, which has this je ne sais quoi, I must admit it!
lanit, thank you for this camellia flower! All my camellia trees have been ruined by the last storms, especially my white Cornish Snow I used to adore... I totally join you on men's silks, and Collection Equestre from men's dept especially is a killer! Great choice, once again, from your best cheerleader!
Mors et Gourmettes is a stunner, ms piggy. In jacquard twill b/w, it was my grandmother's all time fav. Being now old, I think she was right. I didn't even know this one was issued in jersey, I could grab it in a heartbeat if even this one crosses my road! Congrats!
Anfang in your case, I know it's more than the scarf, trust me. And thank you for sharing about your grandmother's fav twill. It sounds beautiful in jacquard, which I have yet to own any. The Mors jersey came out for SS 2008 (was it that long ago?!). I'm a sucker for the off-white base with grey detailing and the pop of bright orange. Hope one comes your way soon enough!
But Anfang, the truth is, u have a youthful figure, not matronly or old at all. So I figure that your face should be youthful like your body. Maybe the only part that is not youthful is your mind!Ah my dear D Lee, you tell the words of youth!

Scarfies,
As you all knew I hunted a Jardin de Leila coffret back in January during my trip to FSH. I was seriously debating between the blue colorway and another colorway, ended up with the blue because I love the porcelain vibe. But with my hoarding habit, you know that ain't stay for long. With H, when in doubt, buy BOTH. So here's what I hunted down to complete my greed.
Jardin de Leila coffret with its matching scarf in cw 14 Blanc/Vert/Brun (which has a lot of hunter green and fungi green along with multitude of browns).
I have recently discovered a new way to wear my 90cm in a shawl-like way. This has become my to-go knot on days that I am deceived by the sun and walk out of the house without being armed with cashmere, hah.

Chestnut, saluting your new Leila addition! Wowza. You,lucky gal, two Leila SE? Looks grey on you.
Oh my, I don't want to leave "Critter" week... but... tomorrow is the beginning of the LAST week of this year:
30 March The Staples: Scarves that you wear the most often/workhorse scarves
Now folks, I will be the first to admit that I live in my favorite T-shirts (partly because we are re-doing my closet and I can't find ANYTHING!) and I am also lazy. However if these horses can do it:
"Cuivreres" (thanks for the photo HSCI- I have it but too rainy to photograph today)
I am going to try to wear some this week. I would mos def wear "Cheval Surprise"
or one of my very favorite scarves, "Les Toits de Paris" (off to make popcorn, more tomorrow)
and watch "Foyle's War". Maybe the light will be better for photos tomorrow...
Talk about luck Jahna. Les Toits has been on my grail list forever. I am seeking the red and grey one.... Would love to see you model this! And I love Masterpiece Mystery too.
I'm afraid not, D Lee!But Anfang, the truth is, u have a youth figure, not matronly or old at all. So I figure that your face should be youthful like your body. Maybe the only part that is not youthful is your mind!
I keep my body ultra-fitted by swimming everyday for over 7 years. But swimming is of no help for my face, and I (so far) refuse any plastic surgery! With sunnies, I can give an illusion, but without... I am indeed wearing the Licorne more than Folklore simply because if I am running errands, 140 is not as convenient as 90!
Oh Anfang, we ladies are too sensitive about our looks! I started wearing scarves around 18 months ago because I wished to hide my turkey neck. I thought that with a scarf, I look youthful. But without...I'm afraid not, D Lee!
Ms. P, thanks, and I adore this particular Colorway and format ( jersey) of the mors. Your wearing it as a top a few years ago was unforgettable. I searched high and low for it and it never came to our store, not even in the US from what I was told. I settled for the navy, but it never suited me as well. Such a classic.I love camellias, such an elegant flower. And another winning look, lanit!

Oh do you think so, D Lee? My 140 are my usual go-to, I rarely go for a 90, go figure!Oh Anfang, we ladies are too sensitive about our looks! I started wearing scarves around 18 months ago because I wished to hide my turkey neck. I thought that with a scarf, I look youthful. But without...
And tell me about the turtle-neck thing! I said in another thread that H scarves/shawls are my new "black-velvet ribbons" !
