Now you really have me blushing. (iPhone app doesn't give me the emoticon options. Otherwise I'd insert the "blushing" smiley.). Me, pretty and stunning?? Wow.. And "perfect pattern mixing.." Thank you for the compliments!!!
Actually I had the sweater first and have had it for a while. It's actually from..... "Tar-gét"... That's right, the Red Dot Boutique. Lol. And it needed a purple scarf to go with... Something to spruce it up. And i came upon purple Camails
I love the Red Dot Boutique!
(This is a great miracle sweater story! No better way to spruce up Target finds than with Hermes! LOVE IT!!!!)

Lanit, the blue Bateaux is an excellent choice. Many congratulations. What a refreshing deviation. I can already see it with your jean jacket or some of your striped tops. The border is luscious. [/QUOTE]
Thank you Maedi - and I hope we get to see that lovely new PF GM of yours soon!

TT, I am happy to be twins with you on this 70. I own two cws and they are the ONLY 70s I own. I felt a retro vibe and adore them. You look sensational--beautiful skin my dear. I look like a wind-burned coyote right now and am laughing to think of the hypothetical contrast shot of me right now in my 70, and YOU! lol
Sorry this is off theme, non Asian scarf. But does it count if I'm Asian..
oh jp, I see Asian all over this. Call it whatever you want! Gorgeous, deep colors. Love it with your sweater--so fun and young.
Couldn't agree more on limiting myself. Let's cheer each other on in that direction
Limit Shim-it Silly Gooose....but I too am up for the challenge!
What a great look! So nice.
Thank you, jp! I am laughing as well because I use about the same five descriptive words to respond to the lovely posts I see here. Clearly, I am not a writer! One thing is true, although my expressions are the same, they are heart felt and genuine. I mean what I say.(I commented earlier on your amazing Camails, so I have to say that you are STUNNING as well!
Lady, I too find myself using the same dang 4 words but just because I say it to X and Y and Z does not mean it is any less fabulous, right? Anyone thinking of Gertrude Stein's work and repetition with words?? Come one, is someone hip to my jive here???
jp, some of the girls around here relish the idea of wearing an H silk or GM on a $20.00 Tar-get find. Love it. You are amonst friends our friend...
Ladies, I went shopping last week and get this, drum roll--Textile, are you out there my Escandar wearingfriend....I spent FULL PRICE on a white blouce that cost MORE than an Hermes silk! I know, I know....Crazy. So funny. I laughed thinking, I will pay $410.00 for a scarf that I "might" not need, but won't pay $600.00 for a shirt that will be a staple for ten years??
froufrou: I always come away from your commentary knowing a bit more about silk. I love your eye...keep teaching me honey!!
Hermesick: your new avatar is fabulous. I love the texture and color contrast of milky complexion, blond hair, rouge top...nice nice
Seton: your skin and smile are beautiful and welcoming....If you are like I am, I look too closely in the mirror....who gets that close for goodness sake?

We are on same page LOL
when it comes to scarf purchase, I have never the slightest regrets BUT when I buy something else I start to calculate.Maedi, Ladybaga, Seton, IF and Lanit - thank you for your kind words !
IF - your two Marwari GM's are TDF !
I love the Red Dot Boutique!
(This is a great miracle sweater story! No better way to spruce up Target finds than with Hermes! LOVE IT!!!!)
Oh my GOSH!! I am doped up with every flu medicince I could buy so I know that is the reason I cannot spell today (Please forgive me my silkie friends.) but as I lie here sick in bed, I am choking, coughing in laughter. Sick was never so much fun.
Red Dot Boutique! Classic!
Gotta give the credit for Red Dot Boutique to our dear, jp. I am calling Target that now as well! Sweetest Sparkle, I am sorry you are fluin'. Please stay in bed, rest, and eat some jello. Hope you feel better, soon!
Sparkle, I love your $600 blouse story! I just got home from running errands and picked up a few pairs of shoes. I explained to my husband that I noticed the price of shoes seems to be going down. He said, "No, I think it is just that you are used to buying Hermes scarves and such."
Thanks for posting all the Asian scarves, seton. Wasn't it kind of fun once you got going? And a testament to your consistent selection that all of them worked with only 2 sweaters. The Sichuan cashmere is especially lovely in soft colors. Many of the older color palettes seem more harmonious, more natural. Guess it was a phase that has come and gone?
Thank you for posting this, Hermesick, your pink and orange Temari is glorious on you! And congratulations on the new blue CSMC. Such lovely colors, both of them.
Love your purple Camails, jp_56. H.com sent me the cashmere GM in that colorway by mistake and it was gorgeous. If I'd had the coloring to pull it off I would have kept it. Do you think that you could post some of your Les Cannes when you have time? It's always a treat to see scarves that tie really well.
Good choice, D Lee, Afrique looks super with the scarf ring and will be very useful in that colorway too.
More hugs for you VnSoie!
This stunning Temari is just the thing to cheer you up. Such a perfectly beautiful way to wear it too - no wonder at it's a favorite picture.
Oh lanit, what an amazing pile of delightful silk! I'm going to go back to your picture and just stare at it for a while.
Terrific collection, Israeli_Flava, and you wear them so well. The shawls really show off your striking good looks.

Thx LB! I am now in the earliest stages of scarf collection. So I guess I am still acquiring scarves like crazy! Besides, I believe my acquisitions like Equateur & Tropiques are really classic pieces! I believe my behavior would normalize once I have passed the initial few seasons! Aren't we collectors all like that?
BTW, I saw Fleurs de Indienneires in the boutique. It is gorgeous! I know u have one as well. It is very expensive(to me). Do u think I should get it? As a newbie, I have no idea how often H brings out reissues. I mean, if I miss the boat this time, will I have to wait forever for it to surface again? TIA!

Hi D!
You are collecting BEAUTIFUL scarves that you will cherish for years to come! It really is fun seeing which new beauties the seasons bring! I love everything you have posted! You are off to an amazing start.
Is the Fleurs de Indiennes a 140cm silk or the 90cm? I bought my 90cm version two years ago, so if you do find a 90cm of this in your boutique, you should try it on. It's an incredible pattern. A bit busy, but I like busy!
The colorway of mine is variations of green/turquoise with ultra violet background. It is one of my very favorites. I wish I had picked up the khaki version as well. (MaiTai has this one on her blog. Gorgeous.) I also missed out on the 140cm which came out a full year ago. A/W 2011, I think. Several of our lovely tpf members have this. Off of the top of my head, I know that textilegilr and lanit have the 140. I remember that there was a beautiful red/yellow one and also a blue/green one. It is a tad bit heavier in weight than the summer silk twill. I believe this 140 is called washed silk.If you have found a FdI, I would say YES. You won't regret it.
Since this pattern was a new design, it may not be reissued for some time. It would be great if it was since it really was a good selling design. I wonder if it will ever be issued as a GM cashmere/silk shawl or heaven help me, a 140 mousseline. I would be jumping for joy over that!- Status
