This is such a terrific theme and your posts so well illustrate how we can get an idée fixe about a certain scarf ; either a negative one as here, or total opposite as getting an obsession ( we all know how that feels!]
I didn't like the pink Gala laid flat too much until I saw it with the brown tweed and the red.
I personally love the warm brown with it as the softness complements the softness of the scarf.
But red is amazing ! It says pzazz and confident chic to me .
Another point, why not just twist around the neck and tie the tails at the back , it will be wonderful that way.
I don't wear pink myself but really enjoy seeing it worn well as you do![/QUOTE]
Why thank you dear frou frou. Yes, it is beginning to make some sense to me now. It didn't work at all with the black (cool) or the bright pink (also cool) cardi, or even my light gray wool dress (also cool), but it is working much better with warmer colors. And since I don't own very many warmer colors, it's been sitting in a box! As I mentioned earlier, it's not that I don't like the design or the colors, I think it's beautiful. I must've just subconsciously known something wasn't right and all of you have helped me begin to figure out what that is. We'll see how it looks tomorrow with the navy and silver Mors ring. Definitely on the cool side, but it may still work.
And I am so pleasantly surprised by the red. I didn't even think of it. I just threw the first coat I found on (I was running late after taking the time to take and post the pic!) and looked down as I was walking down the pathway to the car and thought "Hey! I think I like this with red!" And I do. A happy accident.
Of course, none of this fixes the fact that I just don't think it ties well, and that the border is too wide.
