Great Grandma's Mink Stole

[Katydid]

My grandmother pulled out her mom's mink stole and gave it to me. Now what do I do with it? Is it for formal evening events or can it go more casual than that? And what exactly do I do with all the minks that are attached together. What do I call it and how am I supposed to wear that thing? I have to admit that wearing animals that still look like animals is a little weird to me. [huh]

You can always recycle the coat into these .

I too have my great-grandmother's mink stole.
I don't wear it often for it does weird me out a bit. But, I have worn it a few times with a dressy suit. It just adds a touch more of dressiness to the suit, makes it more glamourous, say, for taking a suit from a simple day suit to something more elegant for the evening.
I've also worn it with gowns for black tie events.
To me, a stole is a dressy item. I don't know how they used them back in the day, but for my use it seems better fitted for the evening.

Those are definetely for dressier events. Would also be something great to bring along say, to the QM
