OK - It is a Keep- since knocking off the Retinol product on my neck, it is much less itchy. The scarf is now completely tolerable. Thank you all! I have resolved to use YLF more as a sounding board when I'm not sure as I'm trying to minimize my purchase regrets, so thank you all!

I will post a WIW soon with my self-made brooches (#1&2). Any thoughts on these brooches or other brooch suggestions?

Gail - that link is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.
Angie, Brooklyn A brooch is such a great idea. I don't own any, so I dug out my craft room and made couple. If I like them, I will upgrade to better quality versions.
Aquamarine - you are so right about the itching subsiding after a few moment. Wore it for two hours today and didn't notice after the first few minutes. Great suggestion.
Fashiontern, Jane, shevia, Kate, smittie lisa p, taylor - thanks for the thumbs up on color and styling. It helped convince me to give it another try. I do love the color so much, and cashmere season here is about 9 months long.

Yikes!

I like the brooches, but am not at all convinced they are needed. The architectural swoosh of the scarf is what's so cool about many of these stylings; a brooch would distract from that. But you need to do you, obviously.

I’m so glad you decided to keep the scarf and find it less itchy. It really is beautiful on you and I predict many happy wears.
