PbP, I don't think you will regret divesting what you don't use.

You could probably get at least one very wearable Csgm for all that twilly-stock.

I got a 90 moussie, played around with it, and promptly handed it over to my mom. Like I figured - it would be useful for resort wear so she will get more use from it. I can always borrow but probably will not. I think I prefer the 140 moussie format.

I've been reluctant to try the 140 silks.

Ladies, How about the silk jersey? What is that like? Do they still make it? What season is it good for? Pros? Cons? I've never seen them IRL.

Thank you! Wow, three fires at once. Did you need to shelter in place? How close was your home to the fires?

No. We were right on the beach and the fires were in the canyons and forests on the edge of the city. The fact that fires were 20-30 miles away made it even more surprising that the smoke was so omnipresent.

 

[Genie27]

Wow!!! That is stunning and frightening all at once.

Yes, I have a question about the jerseys: woven silk has a lot of body so it displays well. But I wonder if jerseys show as well or they tend to clump up when they're tied.

Congratulations on your move rainneday. I hope you feel settled soon.


I updated my scarf spreadsheet status on myh's scarf ramblings thread since this is where we first discussed it. I didn't want to be off topic. But maybe some others can chime in. I really need to stick with cashmeres and silk 140s in the future.

Ok I updated over on MYH thread also...

That is a gnarly picture! I'm glad that you weren't any closer to the hills!

Thank you, PbP! I need to share some pictures of the refrigerator that we bought, the produce drawer is pretty amazing imho. I'll try to upload later.

I'm going to check out that thread right now. I would love to see your spreadsheet, I had no idea people were adding them there.

I like the silk jersey. Have them mainly in the A Cheval Sur Mon Carre colourways, including the classic noir/blanc. They can be tied as a top, as well as a scarf, so they are quite versatile.

Hi Moma, Do they not open up when you click on them? I am clueless when it comes to adding pics. It asked me if I wanted thumbnails and I assumed they would enlarge once clicked . I can add full size if you would like!
We just moved in today, I am having some horrible asthma from the poor quality air. There was a fire in the hills today (no structures & mostly contained) & it's burning hot out. Need to install a pool asap.

Dang, I hope that air quality improves for you. It is sunny and perfectly cool in San Francisco! Also happy housewarming!!!

This is shocking!

 

[nicole0612]

Our skies are very thick and grey from wildfires in BC, Canada, the air quality went from great to horrible overnight yesterday, but at least there is no danger.

 

[nicole0612]

Very unusual for us.
If it's this bad here I can't imagine how it is in Canada.

...Wow. I need to call my mom and make sure she's doing ok with her asthma.

I know just where you are! (unless that was taken from I-5. not stalking you) I worked for 9 years in my company's office just below the right end of that bridge.

I'm away from home for 2 weeks and glad that I brought along a lot of scarves, because one pair of trousers has suddenly become looser and now needs a belt, which I did not bring. So I'm using a 90 to keep my pants from falling down! So much for aging, LOL.

That's a nice problem to have and a good solution

Yay for loose pants! More reasons to justify a new scarf

Since there is a desire to talk silks/scarves/cashmeres that really exceeds the scope of this thread, please take this discussion to this new thread specifically about how to incorporate Hermes silks into your wardrobe. Thanks!

Brilliant! And lucky you for needing it. I use my older scarves as belts quite often. They are great to tuck in a suitcase for a headscarf, a little color around my face or as a belt.

I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope it rains soon! Congratulations though on your move-in. I hope you are getting settled in.

Me too Unfortunately we have no kitties in our home right now, but my mom has 8 that will eventually come to live with me. I do miss having cats around.

I love cats but DH is allergic. I've heard though that Bengal cats are not quite as allergy producing. I don't know if that's true.

Congratulations on your move rainneday. I hope you feel settled soon.

I'm heading over to look at your spreadsheet. I love the 140s but I never know what to do with them.

I love the look of silk jersey. There is a beautiful purple and red jersey at the Real Real right now. They would probably work well for me as they appear to lie more flat.

I just returned a moussie, I'm sorry to say. I was so excited about it, and I have romantic visions of being surrounded with silk chiffon, but I couldn't make it work. Maybe it was the color. They scare me a little too, although everyone says that they are not delicate.

How long does the smoke hang around after the fires die out?
