Should I get this silk scarf? If yes, which color?

Astrid

Veteran

I know that I have enough scarves already, but I I only have two infinity ones and they're both cotton. I fell in love with the floral pattern on these, but I can't decide if I should go for it or not. And if I do, I can't decide which color to get. I first thought the wine color, but then I really like the green too.

I think this is a very nice scarf. I LOVE silk scarves. Both colors are lovely and I'd probably go with the wine color for myself, but which will go better with your coloring and current wardrobe?

Thanks Claudia. I think they would both work, although the wine might be a bit more flattering. It depends on the exact color though and how vibrant or muted it is IRL. They would both work well with my wardrobe, I have lots a navy, grey and purples/pinks/reds, some black and a dash of white/cream and also some greens.

Both are lovely - my preference is also for the wine but I think it is a personal choice, based on your wardrobe. I don't think I have a single green item in mine. I say go for it!

Then it is a real toss up. Is there a free shipping and return policy, or can you see these in real life? If you are ordering online, and there is free shipping and returns, I'd order both and keep the one that you like best when you can actually see them and touch them -- or return both if they disappoint and there is no financial risk with shipping.

But I think you do need a bright silk infinity scarf in your collection!

Thanks Glory. I have a few items in different greens, but I'm not using them all regularly. The most worn green item at the moment is probably my green cardigan; and I also have a very big and warm plaid green winter scarf that I wore a lot last year.

Claudia, I can't see them in real life. Shipping isn't free, but returns are. I think that's a good idea, I'll just order both to compare them here. Then I can also try them against different tops to see what they look like.

Really nice scarf that will play well in your wardrobe. Which colour do you have on most of your scarves? Choose the one that differs

Both are gorgeous Astrid, good plan to order both and see which one plays better in your wardrobe and/or appeals to you more.

Thanks Harmonica. I have some with greens and some with purple/pink, so that's no help. I have one scarf that's burgundy mixed with green and I love it.

Thanks Freckles. Things always look different in real life, so I hope the decision will be easy to make.

I just ordered only the wine color. I thought about it a bit more and the green looks too 'natural' for my taste. I'm going to post some pictures when I get it.

I was just going to vote for wine! Can't wait to see it

Thanks Kirti! I hope it looks just as fab IRL.

You know, I have been having exactly this train of thought lately--I know I have a lot of scarves, but I don't have any infinity scarves...

I think wine was a good choice. The green is pretty too, but the wine is so attractive.

Scarlet, that's good to hear... And I agree, wine is attractive.
