To me, it's incredibly hard to choose a scarf online. They always seem to look and feel so different in person. And a scarf really needs to look great <i>on</i>, with your face and hair; otherwise, why bother. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707319 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 00:35:46 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1707319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pity, the design is so lovely! &nbsp;But I can see how it would be hard to accommodate the uneven balance of colors when wrapping it. &nbsp; I love the Ted Baker florals -- they remind me of Martin Johnson Heade's magnolia paintings. &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.timkenmuseum.org/sites/default/files/Heade_0.jpg">http://www.timkenmuseum.org/si.....eade_0.jpg</a> <br />But I haven't found an item that was just perfect for me. &nbsp;Maybe someday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707292 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 23:36:50 +0000 Anonymous 1707292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some things are meant to be returned no matter how pretty. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707274 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 23:04:49 +0000 Cerinda 1707274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're one smart cookie, Mochi. &nbsp;Who wants a scarf that requires tending, anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707184 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 20:45:16 +0000 jill58 1707184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say something like what Angie said--this scarf looks like a tough one to keep oriented in a way that shows the pattern. Beautiful scarf but I avoid that type of pattern for that reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707180 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 20:42:11 +0000 Lisa 1707180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's good that you saw the problems with this piece straight away and can quickly move on to something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707149 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 20:01:01 +0000 Janet 1707149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a better scarf out there for you. This is not moody enough, IYKWIM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707122 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 19:21:11 +0000 rachylou 1707122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. No. I agree. This is not you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707112 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 19:14:14 +0000 Mochi 1707112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie (and others!). I'm very happy with what I ended up with from the sale. On to other strategic shopping down the road.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707105 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 19:12:33 +0000 Angie 1707105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean, Nancy. It can be tricky to showcase the part of the pattern you like best. Next.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707097 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 18:59:29 +0000 Mochi 1707097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, Suz. I was already eyeing that scarf and feeling tempted to try it. Please don't feel like you put me up to it. Plus, you know, I'm not Canadian so it's not a big deal for me to hop over to my Nordstrom Rack with the other five things I'm returning and just include this lighter-than-air item with the rest of it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I just realize, I am always being seduced by scarves, but I'm really not good at them, and probably don't look that good in them either.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707092 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 18:55:01 +0000 Suz 1707092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh. Too bad. I am glad that returns are free and sorry I put you to the trouble of this one!! But at least you have the top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-going-back#post-1707084 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 18:46:03 +0000 Mochi 1707084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I've rarely felt so immediately sure that something was going to not be worth keeping.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's pretty enough, I guess. I am the first to admit I'm not an easy facilitator of scarves...there is probably potential there for someone who's really adept with them...I'm not one of those people so I had to go by my first impulse. And I didn't even bother to style this for the pics.&nbsp;</p> <p>It also has a large swatch of maroon. I like the lighter colors, the pretty, buoyant, floral effect, and I don't want a big patch of the burgundy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also my favorite portion of the scarf was a huge red rose. I realize that with this pattern, I would have to be very strategic and intentional each time, in order to get my favorite part of the scarf to show up and not be twisted into invisibility at the back of my neck, for example.&nbsp;</p> <p>Finally, this is a pet peeve of mine, but it's not double-sided with the exact same print. The underside is still pretty, but it's much less vibrant. I'm showing the flower as seen from both sides.&nbsp;</p> <p>Back it goes! Luckily I already have a bunch of stuff to return to Nordstrom.&nbsp; </p>
