Scarves, what is it about them..?

I'm very much with GB on this. Very partial to scarves but hopeless at wearing them to their/my best advantage. I have a friend who can transform an already pleasant outfit with a scarf. She ties it various ways or puts it at different places on her person. Result amazing. Me? I tend to end up looking like a pound of tripe no matter how hard I try. No knack whatsoever. Mmmmmm.

Have never worn a scarf since I left school.

I am not a scarf person but they look fabulous on other people. I find they never really look right on me. Necklaces on the other hand.... l never feel dressed without a necklace to coordinate with an outfit. As l very often wear long cardigans or jackets l generally finish off the outfit with a cloissone brooch.

I love scarves and have had some beautiful ones of various sizes as gifts. The problem is that whatever I do they never look right when I attempt to wear them, so they stay in the drawer.

Yep - a cupboard full of them and I've even gone on line and pinned 'how to tie a scarf in 12 different ways' onto my favourites. (I never remember to wear one, of course, but that's not the point. I like the fact that they're just 'there' waiting for me to have a 'scarf' day).

I can't pass a British Heart Foundation shop without going in a buying a scarf. They always have gorgeous ones. I daren't count how many I have. I am now making curtains for the portholes of my boat with some....well at least they are getting used....

I have more scarves than I dare tell, but I can guarantee that I never have the right colour when I want one, so I go out and buy a new one.

My 'theory'- for what it is worth. As I am larger than I ought to- many shops do not have clothes I can buy - but a scarf always fits ;) - does that apply to you too Marydoll, perhaps.

? Jura, as my old mother would have said, Don't be so pass remarkable!

I will have you know, I'm svelte, chic, sophisticated and I have wardrobes of clothes, all of which fit!

I thought I was the only one with loads of scarves!
I also have lots of square ones which were fashionable years ago. Some were my mother’s and she insisted on designer ones.

I have dozens! I tried to have a cull when we moved but I failed. Now, which box are they in ...? ?

Marydoll I am an addict every colour, fabric , shape and weight! Last year, and this, the markets in Lanzarote were raided got the most beautiful ‘cashmere ‘ scarves soft and sumptuous ? Then I spotted them.....those lovely scarf rings!!! Now I have dozens of them too. No end to the pleasure of a beautiful scarf. Going again in March....hmmm!

Goof for you Marydoll, congratulations

I have a bamboo 'ladder' in the corner of the bedroom, to hold all my many scarves ...

I love a scarf and at one time had 32 all dif patterns some plain silk cashmere you name it ive eventually dwindled it down to 21, they make an outfit, don’t understand why I can give my clothes to charity but so hard to part with my beloved scarves

What is this scarf thing about? I do think they can look good - on other people, but I only have the knitted winter ones. The pets would have a field day if I wore one indoors. I think older ladies wear them to hide their necks!

I bought two new ones today, can’t wait to wear them!

Jura, my response to your post at 16:18:31, was tongue in cheek, as I presume yours was.

I absolutely love a scarf. Chilly neck for some reason. And hides the crepiness. If that’s a word. Known to wear them on a hot day. Current fave is one from white stuff.

I have about 50 scarves and over 100 necklaces..I rarely wear a scarf though. I love to dress a room in scarves--most will cover a sideboard or table, tie around backs of chairs, etc.. I always buy them from charity shops with the intention of wearing but I always end up looking like a bag of shite no matter how I tie them..Look far nicer on a table LOL

So pleased it's not just me that has so many scarves. I have two scarf drawers and a large cardboard box. The latter holds the current ones (quite a lot), when I look in the drawers I find scarves I've forgotten all about. Recently I found some scarves stashed away in a storage bag - including a lovely one, quite expensive, bought from East many years ago. A couple of years ago I knitted a fine yarn cream stole and knitted glittery stripes with beads into it but I had no occasion to wear it when it was finished (took ages to knit). When I did want to wear it the moths had beaten me to it, too many holes to repair.
