Many thanks, Pierina2, for these suggestions. Your daughter is lovely and you both wear your scarves like they are made for you.

We have hot summers here. I can even get warm wearing a mous. I will mull over your suggestions.

Thank you eagle, and I agree - there are times when it's just too hot for any sort of scarf, unless it's tied onto your bag. Luckily H makes lovely jewelry too. :graucho::graucho:
 
Galop Chromatique cw 15 Jaune vif/Rouille/Vert vif

I absolutely love the colors on this scarf. It goes from a cool lime green/chartreuse to lemon and marigold to tan and rich browns. And the white contrast hem..I'm a sucker for contrast hems :D

Let me see if I can help out a little, eagle1002us and lady786. My DD and I are big fans of the summer silk GMs. Basically we wear them just like a cashmere GM but they are much much lighter! A mousseline GM weighs 55 grams, a silk 90 weighs 76 grams and the summer silk GM is only 77 grams. A newer cashmere GM is 186 grams. I have hand washed them with ease.

DD lives in NYC with very steamy summers and visits us in Florida in the winters. I only happen to have pics of her wearing lightweight leather jackets with the silk GMs but underneath she has tank tops on, as do I in the leather jacket shot. The shawl in mine is actually a mousseline but the idea is to drape most of the shawl in front so that only the smallest part of the triangle is against your neck.

The cowboy drape is great inside, when you run into chilly air conditioning. The silks also add some color when folded lengthwise. You can use them on top of a shirt or jacket so the collar keeps the silk off your skin, or with something sleeveless. Sorry that I can't find more pics of us in really hot weather! DD has also used hers as a halter top, and as a pareo over a swim suit. Oh, and as a little billowy jacket - you lay the shawl out as a square, tie two corners together on each side and slip your arms through the tied 'armholes'.
Thank you so much for the pics and your DD is gorgeous :)

OB, great minds think alike! I chose the same colorway of Galop Chromatique! It is lovely.

Congratulations to you both. I was wondering how this ties. Is it something you find easy to wear??? It is really intriguing me.
 
Maedi, Lady786, thank you! This is the only cw of Galop Chromatique that really caught my eye when H.com (Les Ailes part) posted all the cws. Which is surprising because I never go for anything yellow, but the pop of lime is what caught my eye.

Mindi :hi5:

Glamourbag, I plan to display this scarf on the wall, otherwise it's not a cw that I'd ever wear. I will try to get a modeling pic for you tonight, but I can't guarantee the colors will be accurate in my bathroom.
 
I'm sure you can still find it. If the Boston store does not have it, you can have your SA at your local store do a system search and charge-send for you, in any colorway you want, as long as another store in the country has it. I was still able to find a sought-after Fall 2011 scarf last Thanksgiving, for example.
You can always give the Boston boutique a call in advance, I think they are more open to stock question in regard to a specific silk scarf (not like leather stuff).
I find it impossible to answer the question of when a store would stop receiving FW stock as Paris sometimes releases silk stock randomly :sweatdrop:.

Yes, and stores get returns that may be out of season scarves even tho the store is supposed to take back only the current season.

I found galap chromatique hard to wear. I got a cw which had a good shade of pink which shaded into taupe. SA said scarf looked good (out of several tried on). When I got home, I was unable to get it to fall the same way. Instead some unflattering taupe-y yellow showed up that I couldn't get offset by the pink.
 
Modeling pics of the Jaune cw of Galop Chromatique. Not the best at tying scarves, but I tried to get a few different folds to show that it can look more brown/caramel or more lime and yellow. Hope this helps, and sorry about the purple tshirt as a background...not the best outfit to use with this scarf.
