Thank you! I knew these 70s would come in handy eventually
You have given me an idea. I have two sets of duplicate prints of 70 Cm scarves. [emoji15] hmmmm... well maybe only one will work....
Great look! I tried this with 2 similarly colored 90s one time and it was a lot of scarf. If I had 2 coordinating 70s though.....hmmmmmm....
I love the look. Congratulations! The color-blocky graphic nature of the pattern makes it especially chic, in my opinion.
I do it occasionally with two 90s, which is indeed a lot of scarf. I found that if I don't tie them at the corners but instead accordion-fold them square, like venetian blinds, and join them with one of Mai Tai's large-size scarf rings, it works much better -- for me, anyway. Still all the drama, but more trimly vertical and not quite as long. (I like to do it with two of my own grails: a black-on-vanilla L'Art d'Ecrire with the photonegative vanilla-on-black L'Art d'Ecrire.)
I don't have any duplicate pattern 70s to try, but this might make a good excuse to pick up another.
gorgeous! I am waiting (im)patiently for Vie du Grand Nord. the perfect be came up once but I was finishing a project foe work and thought it would be a perfect reward...of course it was gone.
Thank you all for sharing my girlish excitement [emoji16] @Belphoebe, that is an excellent tip about how to wear two coordinating 90's. The fun thing about joining two scarves is that you actually get to see the center print while wearing it in the simple over-the-shoulder method that I default to.
Sorry to hear that. It is always painful to see a watched item disappear. I hope it will come around again for you soon and at an even better price
I will have to try with a scarf ring. I took up some length with a Bova knot, but I think if I used a scarf ring, I could use it as a centerpiece on the front side, and wrap around (for dramatic effect!)
Dahlia goes out for the evening.....
How absolutely stunning you look, textilegirl. You're wearing my favorite mousseline, which I waited years to acquire. When it popped up on the Bay, I immediately hit the Buy button without a moment's hesitation.
Thank you Werner and PbP, and thanks to the 'likers' as well! Werner, this was a fortuitous find for me as well; one of those 'don't think about it just hit the button' moments. Sometimes you just get lucky
