I think the light blue looks nice with your warm complexion. Perhaps you would like it better over a darker top like navy blue or black. I find that contrast always looks the best.

Never even thought of wearing them with navy or black. Will try it!
Very interesting scarf. I have never seen it before anywhere. I think I would fix the hem because it would drive me crazy. Love how you put the outfit together.
I am so thrilled to be joining this thread today with my very first H scarf! I purchased this Jardin a Sintra silk beauty yesterday in the rouge/bleu/vert cw and I am so excited to wear it today. My lovely SA showed me this simple technique for folding, but I am also excited to play with the book of cards he gave me to learn more variations.
"Hi!!" from another scarf newbie! The scarf looks beautiful. And from one noob to another...just watch out for the irresistible urge to go from one scarf to an entire collection in a matter of weeks .
My evilbay watchlist is so full I can't add to it anymore. And now, with the SS 2018 scarf photos posted yesterday and today....I am TOAST.
This is the Correspondence which I never seem to reach for. I find the blue border nondescript and, if I tie it the wrong way, the pattern of little stamps makes me look like I'm wearing a granny blanket. So today, I'm hiding the border and pleating the stamps. Think I can keep this one.

eagle1002us, you think the same way I do about the hat....thank you for your advice!
papertiger caused me to rethink my original impulse - which was to put the hat into a rehome pile. My hair is long and fine and thin. My hair was pulled back into a low ponytail for this picture.
Thank you, Pirula.
You are sweet, gracekelly!
All.....I am enjoying this week very much. It just goes to show that a) we can all put a foot wrong now and then, and b) occasionally we may be more self critical than necessary. This week is like having sisters all over the world to check in with to ask: does this look OK, or is it as awful as I think it is?
What a difference a knot makes! Brilliant way to tie this!
Not exactly my favorite but you’ve done a splendid job at tying it! This way I can only see the juxtaposition of beautiful colors
erm - I hear you. I'm glad you're feeling better about it!
But I would struggle with it.
I just got rid of - whoops.. re-homed a Les Jardin d’Armenie. I felt like I was channeling Laura Ingalls whenever I wore it - sorta like the Granny blanket for me.
(if anyone loves the Les Jardin d’Armenie - I apologize and please don't hold it against me!)
I considered rehoming this, but I really like Correspondence (the design, I mean). I think I would have more or less the same problem (aka granny blanket) no matter which cw I chose, and I have seriously weighed at least 3 other cw that came up on the resellers market.
Oh, and your comment made me snicker. I haven't thought about Little House on the Prairie for years. I think I read the first book in the series. The only part I recall is Laura buying cloth for a new dress, and she had a new hat to go with it. The hat had 3 feathers in shades of ivory and the wind almost swept them away the first time she wore the hat. Why I'm devoting brain cells to remembering this, I have no idea

Congratulations on your first H scarf purchase. I'm sure you already know that H scarves are a delightful and dangerous hobby... it simply isn't possible to own just one.
Your Jardin a Sintra looks fabulous on you. Have fun using the cards to learn all the different knotting variations!
Wow!!! You are all so lovely and welcoming!! Thank you very much!

This particular cw of LJdA was very pink, no - it was PiNk. All those little flowers and do-dads were so cute. I was wearing it and thought 'Oh I should take a picture for both tPF and my Pinterest board… so I did. And then I took a good look at it in horror. I had a true WTVeryUnladyLikeWord moment. I never wore it again.
It was Laura Ingall's dress.
You look gorgeous. And so elegantly badass!
You rock!!!!
Thank you all!
The prices are crazy. This one was listed high, but we negotiated and I got it for a very nice price. But it *is* pretty beat up! This is my dream CW: https://i.pinimg.com/236x/1a/95/64/1a956452e89d4761c97cbd099eb0ba2e--hermes-scarves-silk-scarves.jpg
I'm going to ask. What I don't want is that they cut it down and redo the whole edge.
Thank you, my dear!
