I can relate. Both to the beginner's frenzy and to slowing down and prioritizing. It's a lot easier to do once you've actually acquired the true loves, as our dear PbP has. Blowing the bank also helps! Because reality. I am very lucky, that with the initial rush over the past 8 months, I made no mistakes. Not one. I love and wear them all. I came verrrry close to buying a couple that would've been mistakes, but escaped. This forum was invaluable for that as well.
So which grails did you acquire bedhead? And if I may, which were the ones that disappointed when tied? I think we can all learn from these.
For the grail: I found yet another colorway of C'est la Fete, which is a design that I have basically been obsessed with since I first saw it. I will post it shortly. I'm having trouble taking a photo of myself that shows it properly while also not making myself look like I have more chins than I really do.

When I dove headfirst into the collecting frenzy I picked up a couple of pieces from an online consignment shop I have shopped and consigned with for many years. I thought that purchasing scarves online would be ok, as I've done so many times in the past for Alexander McQueen and other scarves. I got Emperon D'Or and it is beautiful, but no matter how I tie it, there always seems to be too much bright green and gold near my face, which I find unflattering. Likewise with the colorway I got in Le Tarot - the black/gold/white is lovely and I love the design, but it seems that there's always too much gold near my face. I have pale skin and red hair, and too much of any yellow-based color up by my face can make my skin look a little sallow.
That said, they are beautiful and I do like looking at them, so I haven't decided what to do with them yet. I have, however, decided not to buy any more scarves online unless they meets two criteria: a) it is an absolute, utter grail that makes my heart flutter just thinking about it; and b) I have either seen it in person or seen enough photos of it being actually worn to know how it will work with my wardrobe and coloring.
(Pardon my terrible descriptions of the colorways of the older scarves - I'm still learning!)
