My favourite pick-me-up - scarves! What’s yours?

Love the new use for a scarf Juggernaut! I have lots myself but never feel as though I’m wearing them elegantly like other ladies I see. I was in Italy last week where there was a lot of linen in shops so couldn’t resist buying a lovely scarf. I’m still fiddling with it so that I don’t look as though I am wearing a bandage ?

I love scarves, such a lot of pretty choices now too.

Like M0nica I have a short neck so don't wear scarves.
I've got a cupboardful of scarves which belonged to my Mum , who loved them.
Anything pink cheers me up - I'm wearing my favourite pink summer jumper at the moment.

Love scarves, but my quick indulgence is nail varnish. I always come home with a new one if I’m feeling a bit low. Could open a shop with them nestled into my scarves.

Portuguese Custard Tarts!

My latest aquisition bought last weekend.
Last month it was Balenciaga, pure silk, a peacock feather pattern in autumn colours on a cream background.
They, as have 80+ others, will be consigned to the scarf graveyard drawer for all eternity. There are some nights when I could swear to hearing the rustling of their tissue-paper shrouds as they jostle for space. ?

When my dear mum passed away in February we found a great number of scarves. After giving some away to various family members as mementos I sent the rest to a lovely lady who made them into memory bears. We had nine altogether but there are lots of leftovers, I think we could easily do nine more.

I've only worn 3 of them. ?

I have a few (but I'm not in the same league as some other posters). To encourage me to wear them, I bought a scarf organiser from Amazon, but have nowhere sensible to hang it!

Nannan2 I totally agree. I can never get a scarf to look right on me, and I don't like things around my neck. Even a dainty necklace usually gets taken off after an hour or so. High-necked clothes, especially polo necks are also anathema to me, and feel so uncomfortable. I don't know if it is because I'm short-necked, or what, but I have a drawer full of scarves that rarely get used.

Agree Coast 35
I am also a Moira C fan.
They make scarf wearing so easy no mor faffing

More!

Infinity scarves are also (imho) quite easy to wear.
The ends of the scarf are joined,
I put the scarf over my head twist and then loop over head again and voila ready to go

Great to read these posts. Now I don't feel so bad about all the scarves I have! All sizes, colours, lightweight and heavyweight. A couple of years ago I knitted a beautiful scarf/pashmina in fine cream yarn, it took ages, it was huge. I inserted knitted rows of coloured metallic yarn every so often and added beads. BUT a few weeks ago when I got it out to wear it for the first time it was full of moth holes. Couldn't believe it. I might knit small patches with the metallic yarn to cover the holes. I was devastated.

Love scarfs, darn't count them. :-)

Just Love them and collect them as well and now have rather a huge batch of them

I TOO am a scarfaholic love them!

Oh dear. I don’t seem to have got the hang of this scarf wearing malarkey

I've never worn a 'dressy' scarf ever and now can't wear anything like that and feel right. However, I've got into wide scarves or wraps. They just feel so comfy and a level of cosiness and look good

Costume jewellery from charity shops. Last week I bought 5 necklaces/pendants, one bracelet, and one velvet multi coloured scarf all for £10.50. What a bargain.

I love scarfs too, but I tell my husband I only wear minimal jewellery & diamonds would cost a lot more!! I have them hanging on a pole in the bedroom & love looking at them, except the cashmere ones. A moth invasion got at my scarfs when they were packed in carrier bags under the bed! I'm going to buy those thick plastic ones from Lakeland now.

I too love scarves and I bought a beautiful cream, grey and blue silk devorè one whilst on holiday in Prague. First time I wore it was to go to a posh restaurant for evening dinner. We went down the escalator to get on the subway and a huge whoosh of air blasted up from the subway, caught hold of my lovely new scarf and it flew off back up the escalator. By the time I'd got to the bottom and gone back up, it had gone.

Like a few others here, I just can't wear anything like polo neck tops, necklaces or anything round my neck as I feel as if I'm being strangled.
Many years ago when I was 16 my mum gave me a silver chain with a crucifix which had been given to her by an Italian POW.
I left it on in bed that evening and woke up feeling that I was being choked. When you are panicking you can't undo fiddly things so I broke the chain and cut my fingers in the process. I can't wear nail varnish either as it makes my hands feel 'heavy'.
Weird? Yes.

Camelotclub 're your post from yesterday and knitting complicated scarfs (scarves?) - me too! I give them away.

My pick-me-up is to buy a "deep moisture mask" and come home and take my time with a mini beauty treatment at home. The mask is often the kind that looks like a ski mask with cut outs for eyes and mouth and requires me to lie quietly for 15 minutes while it soaks in... then afterwards I feel like a million dollars (all for a few pounds)

My favourite pick me up? A good chat and get together with a friend. Preferably in person with a coffee, but a phone call is still mood uplifting for me.

I like earrings, I think they can 'finish off' an outfit and they can be very cheap, sometimes from a supermarket.
Otherwise I go out in the garden and look at a flower.
