No makeup, working from home this AM, just arrived: les Amazones! I've been looking for the right CW, and this is it. View attachment 3848451

This is beautiful... such a lovely soft colorway on you, momasaurus! The pink is exactly right: not too pale, not too bubblegum, not too raspberry, just a true clear pink. Excellent! :tup:

Thank you both. I'm not wearing it today only because I haven't had time to give it a bath yet. Hopefully tomorrow!

Yes!! You said it best, moma: "it's all about a design that resonates with me in a CW that works for me to wear." And I disagree that you're not a true collector - you are, it's just that you have discriminating taste and parameters to collecting. [emoji16]




Woo hoo! It's gorgeous on you! I love this design, too.

Ooh, can't to see which plisse you got! I confess that's a style missing from my collection. I'm plisse-curious but not enough to experiment. Maybe I need to go to scarf college, haha.

I mostly peruse sold items for a couple reasons: 1. Photos. If it's a reputable seller, then I might save photos so I can better authenticate later when another opportunity comes along. Plus nice photos of grail scarves make me drool. 2. Pricing. If it was a reasonable price, I fantasize that *I* was the winning bidder. (I confess I might while away a leeetle too much time in this way.) Plus it gives me hope that another opportunity might come along.

I used to pet my csgms too because they were so so soft - until a damn hangnail ever-so-slightly snagged one. Ooh, was i pissed. No more petting for me.
I know, right?! There are so many designs I wasn't able to get from just 2-3 years ago. I didn't realize then that they were unusually wonderful seasons in terms of designs. I thought that every season would offer so many beauties that I'd be in a perpetual state of scarf-arousal but then the current season came along and I got no scarf-gasms. Zip. Zilch. It's true a couple designs were quite nice, but "quite nice" doesn't do it after experiencing the fireworks and meltiness as I did with previous seasons. (Apologies to those loving the current season - it's just different strokes for different folks!)

But as for rules - I had a no dupes rule and max per season rule, too - those have gone out the window, just as you said. Right now only thing that keeps me in check is my budget!

And I love how we look out for each other's grails. But watch out if your grail is also my grail! Then my claws will come out. [emoji23]

Thank you, JD. And I'm with you on the budget constraints. If it were for the squeezing of the wallet I would be inundated with scarves and leather and silver, all from H!!!

I have a scarf-fairy godsister (or scarf-crack dealer, depending if you're my DH or not).

Some people have a "recreational pharmacist." You just happen to have a recreational sartorialist.

My Les Toits des Paris in the Bordeaux colorway that I snatched off eBay before anyone else could blink arrived and I am so deeply in love! This scarf in this color way was made for me. It's too late in the day to take a decent pic, I'll post one as soon as I can, but I needed to share my joy with my people! No one else in my life gets this obsession! Now I'm just going to sit beside it a little longer, drinking in all the details.
