Okey dokey, then. This particular purple top is summer weight, but I'll see what I can do! Thank you, bobkat!

Ooh
Oh, this is a beautiful look!Imagine my surprise about the necklace and wrapping a scarf.I was messing around this morning and wore this today. It’s Cheval Phoenix wrapped around an opera length pearl necklace. View attachment 3894487
This is when I grab the striped black and white top and see where things go, when I am truly stuck and some scarves feel "old fashioned" or maybe too "traditional" so I think it was frou frou that suggested tyring a striped top to modernize. I wonder if this scarf would benefit from that too, despite having a lot of pattern in the design?
lol.... just so!
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do....I do worry about that with some designs, like I worried myself silly about that with Pique Fleuri but it all turned out OK and now I have 2....OK- here's my worst one. And here's my story. I make glass beads (lampwork) and perfume bottles....so of course I thought what I REALLY need is the scarf with perfume bottles on it! So I found one, but it had a green border. Of course, I was like, well, I'm fine with green, but it turns out not THIS green in particular and I knew it as soon as I got it an put it on. I keep it mainly for the darn hot pink bottle and the center but I always keep the border folded out of my sight at all times.....
the green that must not be seen
Ok wait...beads and bottles... I'm sure you're dying to see!

Hmmm, never tried striped top scarf hack. I think I have some stripes somewhere, probably pinstriped denim which might not work.
Wow love your beads and bottles. The green border not so much! Lol!
Gorgeous!Imagine my surprise about the necklace and wrapping a scarf.
Ooh, love that amphora!
I've got a L'Hiver and a Gucci Accornero with a green border like that. Only seems to work when I wear them with very neutral tops: beige and black.
Thank you both!
Yes I may just suck it up and attempt rehoming this one, despite the bottles since my wishlist for spring is growing every moment...
Ha! Very interesting! So you MAKE them? Wow!! They are beautiful and I love the knot for this particular scarf! Your story made me think of my doll collection. I stopped collecting years ago and so many dolls in my collection were gifts from my dad. When an acquaintance ran to tell me that Hermes had a beautiful vintage “doll scarf” (Hello Dolly) I immediately thought that I must have it. Thankfully I never pursued one because I don’t think I would have liked wearing that design.
Yes! That sounds pretty much exactly like what I did do. (On the other hand, I also acquired Sulfures for the same reason...glass paperweights, so lampwork again but it's red and mousseline....I did that much more thoughtfully....).
I've been making beads and bottles for about 17 years.
The knot in the first pic is the flower knot. Super easy. There should be a tute on Maitai's site.
Stunning! I can't pull off this look, so I can onlyImagine my surprise about the necklace and wrapping a scarf.
Reminds me of the bejewelled turbans in old paintings.
