The recent days have been fresh and warm but not hot, thanks to daily rainfalls in the late afternoon. It's a rare summer treat to put on a light scarf for warmth, at least during the daytime.
A rectangular fold is a great way to showcase scarves with solid colored borders.. when placing the scarf ring or knot where the border ends, it results in a great contrast and instant necklace effect.
Knotting wise, a PM mousseline can be tied in the same ways as a regular 90 carré, but since the mousse's silk is lighter and has less volume, you need to choose your scarf ring one size down.

Enjoy your few days away, look forward to maybe hearing and seeing through your camera lense about your trip.

Liebe Mai Tai, ich habe deinen Blog vor 10 Tagen entdeckt und es ist eine Sucht für mich geworden :-)). Ich bin begeistert von deinem Geschmack und Kreativität. Ich warte sehnsüchtig auf die neuen Beiträge und in der Zwischenzeit lese ich die Alten. Deine Begeisterung für Hermes ist ansteckend. Ich trage jetzt fast täglich Tücher, die sonst im Schrank verborgen lagen. Vor über einem Jahr habe ich mir einen Hermes Tuchring gekauft, der die ganze Zeit noch original verpackt im Schrank lag! Ich wusste nicht wie ich ihm einsetzen kann. Durch dich weiß ich es :-)).
ReplyDeleteIch wünsche Dir weiter so viel Begeisterung und Ideen. Viele lieben Grüße. Violcio
Dearest Mai Tai,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Summer blues! Perfect on you! :-)
Thank you for the great sugestion on how to wear the mousselines. I will experiment it myself.
Your new espradillas are so cool! Love their colour. <3
Wishing a wonderful time away and sending you the warmest hugs, Manuela
love the frothy white edge of the scarf in contrast when tied.
ReplyDeleteI love blue on sparkling blonds....and this Au coeur de la Vie mousseline is beautiful. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteAmitiés pluvieuses,
Catherine.
Well, you looked wonderful in the warm colors of a few days ago, but you look stunning in these blues, too.
ReplyDeleteYou're had a very cooling effect this morning, and you look so fresh and crisp. I'm wilting here in the middle of an Atlanta July, and I know that a scarf, even an airy mousseline, won't go around my neck until mid-October.
So, please keep the inspiration coming, and I'll live vicariously.
Have a great trip,
Jerrine
The rectangular fold/necklace is the perfect solution! I have a beautiful scarf that is an old map of France, but I've never been quite sure what to do with the wide white border. You've expanded my wardrobe once again by inventing new ways to wear old favorites. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteLovely blue hues on you MaiTai... it makes a nice, light summer look. Also love the way you used the solid color border, its quite pretty that way. Enjoy your time off. :-)
ReplyDeleteBonsoir Mai Tai,
ReplyDeleteJ'adore ce bleu et il vous va super bien, c'est très lumineux sur vous.
Très bon week-end et à bientôt pour de nouvelles images toujours plus jolies et estivales.

The blues never looked so good,dear friend! This palette really makes your eyes sparkle and skin glow...so pretty on you! I am in the camp with Jerrine,as to the heat and humidity,but love seeing your skills to inspire me for cooler weather...perhaps November;-) Have a wonderful holiday away and look forward to your return! Chin chin to summertime fun, T xx
ReplyDeleteDearest MaiTai,
ReplyDeleteHow cool and fresh you look in this pretty blue. We cannot think about wearing a scarf around our necks here in North Carolina, it has been so hot and humid. But, I do enjoy seeing your lovely photos. Have a wonderful time away and can't wait to see you again! :-)
Warmly, Simone xx
I have to agree with the previous comments: the colours really look stunning on you! Oh, I forgot to mention that your new earrings (shown in your last post) are really beautiful! You chose them very well! I hope you'll have happy days (perhaps in family?) - best wishes Claudia
ReplyDeleteLove those colors on you, dear! The white cloud like edge of the mousseline is divine. Nothing says summer like a pair of colorful espadrilles - love the color of yours.
ReplyDeleteOrange hugs,

Hello, MaiTai from Scotland. I have just discovered your wonderful blog, and what a treat it is! I am an avid scarf wearer and received my very first Hermes from my Mother when I was 19 (I'm 45 now). She took me to Harrods to buy me one just before she passed away 'for her grown up girl', so there is much emotional attachment for me. I adore wearing Twilly's too at the moment - they are so addictive to collect!
ReplyDeleteWarmest Wishes,
Marie x
Dear Marie, nice to have you as a new member of MaiTai's fans! I'm from germany and I'm 46 (so we are quiet the same age...). When I read about your experiance you made getting your first Hermés it gives me the creeps. How sad and emotional! I hope you will accompany us from now on, so you will always have sisters on your side! Best wishes Claudia
DeleteBeautiful Coeur de la Vie mousseline, perfect for the mediterranean climate!
ReplyDeleteWhat a most lovely, fresh summery post, dearest MaiTai! You are a master of bringing together the special pieces to make it all happen - and your exquisite mousseline is transformed into a beautiful silk jewel in your magical hands. Hope you are having a wonderful time away, dear MaiTai. Much love and big friendship hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning! The blue suits you so well and has such a summery, fresh feeling to it.
