Thank you everyone for the likes and lovely comments. Wishing my dear moussie friends a wonderful summer. Arriving to Dubrovnik today and the heatwave enables me to wear my moussie many times to dinner
Ok, ok...here I am...with several mousseline indiscretions under my belt in the last few months (and then I'll head over to the CSGM thread...oh lawks a mercy... I have been very very bad...) In my defence, I did end up rehoming a couple of mousselines, with a couple more to go now that I know I will now longer reach since I found one that I was searching for for a few years.
First up (yes...there are 3 incoming here...) is my seemingly ending quest for changeant mousselines....I'd been looking for a dramatic blue undertone for some time. I know I prefer the large 140 squares after several tries with the stole format.
Meet Mosaïque au 24 in Sable/Azur. It is FRUSTRATINGLY hard to photograph, but the blue is like electric blue fire racing across bronze/gold sands.
In the shade:
In the sun (blue is closest to real life here)
Blue haze all over indoors with my vintage H purse...
And some mods shots that make it look moody but it really isn't...

Love moussie reveals!!
Next up. I know I swore already I had no desire for any more stoles. But this one only ever came in a stole in the chiffon format, and I have a fondness for just about anything Dmitri so I decided to give it a go. I figured even if I hated it, then someone else probably would like it fine as a stole. But- It's SUPER! WAAAYYYY thicker than traditional chiffon, this is more like a thick crepe and longer than regular stoles. I thought I might hate it, but I love it. It actually showed up on this thread years ago when it came out, and I though to myself "goodness...this person must be soooo tiny!" in the mod shot. But it is really that the stole is longer and wider than normal.
Meet Hola Flamenca! in mint condition. A winter useful crepe stole. (And please pardon the Bauhaus Peter Murphy shirt with the suggestively placed eyes...
I've had it for a couple of decades....)
I can wrap it *4* times!

I can see the blue haze in the Mosaic, it's one of those changeants where that design isn't obscured by the colour-morph too, congratulations.
Loving the Flamenca! I know you dance Tango, but do you do flamenco too? We had a dance where we used our shawls for a show (think cross between rhythmic gymnastics and bull fighting). I think you need to launch into a few steps with this one.
Thank you papertiger! Yes- I like the bright burgundy in this scarf and the golden copper shades too along with the navy squares (probably more like Ardoise though? ) And since it has an "ex Libris" motif on it, I don't have to feel bad that I got rid of my bandana....
Sadly- I do not dance Flamenco, though have friends who do! Gonna stick to tango, though I have recently been contemplating some hip-hop lessons since I don't need a partner for that...at 50+ lol...
Congrats on both of these!Next up. I know I swore already I had no desire for any more stoles.

Wow! Four times! That’s crazy! I do not own a stole perhaps I need to change that...I do miss the thicker fabric. I felt it made them indestructible. Congrats!!Next up.
