Hopiko, I hope you don't get tired of my saying you look amazing in your mousselines... because once again, you look amazing!



So gorgeous! Love the checked border on this piece. They really are addictive....



Smashing as ever, @papertiger, head to toe! All eyes must have been on you anywhere you went!

Not so sure about that, but it made my evening that I could dress-up this skirt without looking too retro. Next time with higher heels!
 
I haven't contributed to this thread very much as I only have 4 mousselines, 3 GMs and a stole. Summer is the moussie season but they are great for evening all year round too of course and I'm just learning to experiment with how to wear them in moussie-unique ways.

Wearing 2 PaP changeant at once to try to tone with my new but 1970s vintage maxi with is also "qui est sujet à changer" whichever way you look at it. I've worn this 'outfit' twice now.

This looks so great! PaP is a wonderful moussie and you have styled it so nicely!

Bought this a few weeks ago. Savana Dance Mousseline Stole. Never thought I would love mousselines so much but I want more.

Congrats! It's a beauty! If ever there was anything more like quicksand to fall in to, it is H mousselines....you are NOT alone!

Love it pt! It's a perfect cover up for evening!
 
Does anyone know if the Neige d'Antan design came in a 90 mousseline format please? I tried searching online and also the purseforum but was not able to come up with any information. Thank you in advance.

I agree you look fabulous! I love the double mouss look and it does change the feel of the outfit and makes the skirt work in a modern way.

That’s the trick, though, isn’t it? There are some amazing things I would love to wear but I don’t try because I’m afraid of looking too costume-y (and yes, I’ve done that, in my younger days a costume didn’t really phase me. I was quite the talk of the day that time I wore a top hat to Torts class in law school). I personally love certain cultural styles but I have to be very very careful because I don’t want to look ridiculous (or, nowadays, appropriative). Anyway, @papertiger this pairing is definitely a success!!!

I don't think so, yodaling. I've only seen a pochette.

agree with Croisette on this. I've only seen a pochette too.

Thank you, and ITA.

I bet you could still carry off the top hat though!

Ok, it's been what, just a couple of months??? And here I am again....It looks like I really may need to do an updated family photo.

Let's call this one "Fourth Time's a Charm And The Accidental Grail"

Like some of my favorite scarves, this one did not start as a grail for me. I "liked" it (a lot) and casually hoped to add one to my scarf stash when a chance came up. Scroll back about two years or so to my first attempt on a 90cm scarf, which I hemmed and hawed on (as usual) and lost out on. As I discovered moussies more and read (obsessively) through this thread, I became more excited by it the more I studied it. Fast forward to last year and missing out on a GM moussie of it due to (yet again) my own indecisiveness.

This triggered more intense investigation and I began to "hunt" for it and research it extensively. Success looked SOOOOOOOO close a few weeks ago. I had my phone set to bid for me because I was going to be in dance class when the auction ended. I'm VERY sad to report my phone logged me out in the final minutes and I did not win and somebody got a nice deal.....and my eBay bucks went to something else....

However, this triggered a full on obsession where I stalked the web and the bay, hoping for coupons to use and even enlisted MrBcat's assistance in searching. And as luck would have it, I found what I wanted finally.

I'm pleased to present the end of my quietly obsessive search for Axis Mundi GM in CW 10 (Poudre Irise/Moutarde/Verte) and if you've read or participated in this thread through the years you will find that the general reaction to this particular scarf is an unusual and unconventional beauty. I'd have to agree. If you've read some of the original thoughts on this when it was released in 2012, you'll also know there was a lot of confusion about whether it is a changeant or not since the name Poudre Irise suggests it is. ( Some background discussion if you're interested: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/chiffon-mousseline-scarves.123698/page-179 ) I'm pleased to tell you we can lay that question to rest forever now. It is. I took an extreme close up of the beige and pale peach warp and weft.

Up close of the changeant. Since the changeant threads are in the same color family (warm and pale), it's no surprise it is hard to see. That shift from the pale cream on top of the fold down to glowy peach is what you get.
