My (secret) Hermes Scarf

I received the Hermes Scarf as a present about 10 years ago. Yes, I've had it for 10 years and before this weekend I only wore it once. It was a Christmas present and I clearly remember how I felt about it - stunned! Of course I loved it, the orange box, the brown ribbon with Hermes woven into it and even the Christmas sleeve that covered the box and ribbon. It was like winning the lottery. But I only wore it once because it didn't go with anything that I owned and it's 100% silk. What if something happened to it? I couldn't take the chance that it might get wet, soiled, or snagged on something. So for 10 years it's been tucked safely in its box and protective sleeve. Occasionally I would take it out, look at it, and then carefully return it to the safety of its box.  I never told anybody about it, the secret scarf. We recently went to a birthday celebration in Westport. I noticed that there were a lot of women wearing big scarfs and I realized that my scarf would match my new jacket. After 10 years it finally went with something and now it's out of the box for good. I'm wondering about the folly of it all, having a secret scarf!
