This is an old Proues for Ledoux week; the scarf is deliciously supple, and unlike a newer 90cm which can be really bulky, it ties up around the neck with minimal excess fabric. I suppose that's an argument for wearing the heck out of our scarves, then they will be drape-y and soft like butter! Kinda messy, but it was a dream around my neck....

Exactly! I've found that my "ancient" scarves (not really, but I bought them in 1986-1992) look, feel, & drape the best.

Your Proues looks beautiful wrapped around your neck. You'd never be able to do that with a brand new 90cm. And I don't think it looks messy... it looks, um, what's the word? Oh, right. Insouciant!:smile1:

This starts to feel like a Napoléon week (do you think we've seen all existing cw?), and I almost feel sorry to interrupt with a non-Napoléon scarf ;) But it's my only Ledoux -and my most recent scarf. I have to thank Esmeralda for showing me the robee knot, a new favorite! It allows to show light blue and white on a scarf that's mostly dark blue.

Look at those lovely pleats!!! I adore that knot, melora. And the CW looks so pretty on you.

Can you send me a link to the Robee knot? I have a few hours free tomorrow (LOL)... I might practice it! Is it better with a new (stiff) carré, or an old (soft) one?

Two more Ledoux, I must be a classic girl at heart . The Reprise was my pride and joy in the day , but I could never get the horsemen in their red coats to show so unless I wore it in a triangle it looked like a bandage .
Wisdom of years at least gives me insight into how to wear it .I haven't looked at it in years it's not as bad as I thought .

Team silk - I have been eager to share a new find with y'all. I'm hopelessly off theme today and am having an even harder time with headless selfies. Some days they are easy and other days, impossible. C'est la vie. So I'm an admitted Astrologie nouvelle junkie (have two 140cms and have been hunting a 90 cm forever). It takes a lot of restraint not to bid on the perforated ones I see all the time. So I snagged one that I felt had a casual cw vibe and TBH, my orange Pico was demanding it also. The orange in the scarf is more of a burnt orange, but that's ok close enough! Ever since my stinky kelly went back to her homeland, I have been carrying my picos around a lot! So here she is with some mod shots. As you can see, I'm still playing around with modified cowboy knots. I'm determined to come up with a few more! Which one looks better? The smaller gold ring or larger silver one? Thanks for reading my silky tale.

Congratulations on your new acquisition, MYH. Your Astrologie is a lovely CW. A great match to your Pico... not identical, but then again, it doesn't have to be. And the modified cowboy knot has a nice, casual vibe.

As for silver versus gold on the scarf ring, I vote for gold. To me, gold & orange are in the same color "family." Wearing a gold scarf ring doesn't limit the rest of your jewelry to gold, BTW. When I was growing up, if you wore silver earrings, you had to also wear a silver bracelet. Not any more, I'm glad to say... at least according to the fashion magazines! You can even mix up necklaces: a silver one and a gold one together! (Isn't it nice that the rules have loosened up?);)

Although I was reading an article last night that recommended wearing a ball gown with sneakers. Now that, to my mind, was going a bit too far! I suppose if you're twenty...:p

Froufrou, I concur with textile about the navy and brown. My Reprise has the burgundy border. I adore that design. You look beautiful!

Textile, great way of wearing this scarf. I am on the other spectrum. I like my scarves crunchy and stiff. They soften up soon enough and feel so luxurious when they are rustling and right out of the box.

Seton, this is a marvelous color way. Would it look good with your Leila shawl or is it more cool toned?

Melora, you showcase the versatility of the sp. Ed. cosmos beautifully.

MYH, I vote for the silver ring. AN is stunning as is your Pico. Want!

Croisette, I like how you drape your GMs so artfully. Beautiful!

Elaine, I look forward to seeing your scarf choice.

Both are beautiful, but I see you as more of a voyage person.

Well, the reality is that they probably will not get in the CW I want in ZP, so Voyage it will be... unless a different one tempts me!

And they will make us fraternal twins, yes? Unless I get the one with the bright green border... then we will be identical twins!
