Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! Moma, this is a true treasure on you! How gorgeous is that?!

I, too, like dear litchi, have not yet popped my 140 twill [emoji523]. The great thing with H scarves is having so many [emoji523] [emoji523] [emoji523] to pop! So it's easy to feel that wedding-night excitement when you find a new format that works for you.

And boy, I think I should have listened to MYH long ago and boarded that 140 train. I was intimidated by all that fabric ... but I was wrong, so wrong. 140s are really easy to wear!

So ... I went back to H today to court the beautiful Parures Precieuses and really play with her. I simply couldn't get it out of my mind. As BBC said, there is something about this regal shade of purple - it powerfully lures you in with its siren's song. I love the high-contrast colors with the green fronds against the purple backdrop. The design is just lovely.

Plus I was in a celebratory mood. The past few days have been high-stress at work (though everything wound up better than expected) and I had my first mammogram today. It just so happened that the radiology center was a couple blocks from my H store, heh heh heh. After being squashed to the point of flabbiness, the girls just needed their dignity back, dagnabit! Here's proof! How sad is this, I ask? Here I am in a shapeless gown (obviously NOT designed by H) having survived the Great Smooshing of 2017.

I was literally quite deflated.

So I whisk myself away to H. I look for Parures Precieuses. I don't see it anywhere! Oh, noooooo! An SA tries to help but comes back and says there are none in the USA.

"But ... but ... I don't understand - it was just here four days ago," I stammer in disbelief.

"Yes, well, with Hermes, you need to pounce when it's in stock," she says, ever-so-cruelly. "I think it's how they train customers."

Augh! I meekly try on another cw:

The false smile belies my heart. This cw does not cheer me up. I still crave the purple beauty.

I console myself by trying on a few other things from this season:

Mors a Jouets, cw 3, I think.

Yes, it confirms my suspicion that I definitely need 140s in my life.

Mayhaps another Samourai will cheer my doleful heart... I try 07 and 13 again:

I can't decide, so I leave. So the question I put to you, dear tpfers, is this: Should I wait for Precieuses or go with another samurai and if so, which one? WHICH ONE????

Oh my! Love your post! I cannot stop giggling and cause a few suspicious look from DH. LOL! I am also waiting for the purple Parures Precieuses, like forever. And I am thinking of another Samurai while waiting as well, CW13! It's just gorgeous!

After the doctor, a visit to H is well earned. Great strategy! I learn from you :)

Wonderful story telling but isn't Parures on the mannequin behind you in the last picture?

You know, I saw that in the store but thought it was an actual bag! I even told the SA that that was the cw I wanted and she didn't say that it was a scarf tied into a bag! (If so, I'd like to know how that's done!) She went to check stock and said they didn't have it anymore and that no one in the US had it either. Very strange because this was a really experienced SA - she said she had been with H almost 20 years. Well, there's nothing like having a good excuse to return to H! or I could just order it online as PBP sagely suggested. I hadn't thought to check the website for it, silly me!

P.S. Good eye, Maedi! You remind me of one of my childhood literary heroes, Encyclopedia Brown. He was a kid that solved mysteries by being insanely observant. [emoji851][emoji106]

Go back and whip it off the mannikin; nothing that a simple press with an iron won't fix!
Or if it's still on h.com...

I don't wear my scarves anywhere near as much as I should, though I have some beautiful pieces with a couple of exceptions I never feel they enhance me or my outfit as much as I'd like. Or else they feel way too formal and don't reflect my love of minimal dressing.View attachment 3641491
Sangles en Zigzag hasn't been shown in the 90cm format , and so here's mine in 04 , Ivoire, Aqua, Bleu , an inspired gift and a scarf I'd never have picked for myself.
I just love the energy , the Springtime colours and the hem in orange . Wearing it every day which is a first for me.

I visited Bond Street today and took a look at the other colour ways, I fell for a couple especially silver , lilac and framboise 09 which is spectacular .

What a surprise, but then Virginie Jamin is ace at designing scarves that are really wearable.

FrouFrou:flowers: I agree with your description. Minimal dressing and scarves seem to be so hard to not look formal! I wonder how so many tPFers are able to make scarves look so casual!:flowers: I especially find 90 cm to be extremely formal compared to large formats. You wear this scarf so well!:flowers:

Joannadyne, I just want to mention how much I enjoy your posts. Your writing style is so frank and funny, it's like chatting with a friend. I'll assume that the mammo was normal, so in spite of the indignity of the chestal assault, that's all good news! I say "wait for the Parures." A substitute will not soothe the craving (at least, it doesn't for me).
Also love your photos, by the way.

Dear Joannadyne, your photos and musings on H are precious! :hbeat: I never thought of the "many H scarf cherries" but now I'm sure this will be the image in my head when I look at 140cm silks or mousselines! :lol: You must find that Parures Precieuses soon and, later, (ahem) the Samouraï in cw13. They are both happiness in silk form! :heart: I hope all went well with your check-up. :flowers:
