Can I also ask accessories advice ladies. Sorry I've not been posting a lot lately. It's because I have a big presentation tomorrow. It's at a public hearing called for by the regulator regarding the regulatory application filed by our company. I can't choose my accessory for the outfit.

I've decided to do away with stiff corporate look and instead go dressy. Black loose blouse and black slim fit slacks, and heels. I rarely do all black so I feel I need to accessorize so as not to look like I'm in mourning. A scarf would have been great but I just accessorized with scarf last week and a lot of people in that venue will be coming tomorrow. I want a different look.

The combination I like the most is C, but I'm a bit not sure if the look is more for evening/party. I also like B but the necklace is just costume jewelry and I'm a bit conscious about that. A is just a bit stiff somehow.

Depending on which necklace, I will adjust my other jewelry pieces. Which do you prefer? Help please. Excuse the not so clear pictures as these were just taken (night time now). Thanks!

@More bags I can't wait to see your new bolide, etain is utterly gorgeous :hbeat: I swopped into mine this morning ready to go shopping. I have to re-shop a t-shirt I bought last week, it's a pink/apricot in-between kind of colour and I love it, butttttt.... first time wearing and I spill curry on it :frown: which (of course) will NOT come out - typical :-s (might have to get 2 this time!)
Bolide with new summer Birkies:flowers:

Little rant here....

I purchased a A McQ skull scarf at evil bay a couple of weeks ago
at about 50% of retail price, so it was not that CHEAP to suspect something fishy
all pics were pretty legit
2 days ago it arrived (seller shipped from Italy without proper tracking code, what she gave me was totally not working, random numbers and 1 letter) and as soon as i opened the envelope immediately i knew i was scammed....
tag was wrong, care tag was not present at all, hanging tag was saying 2006 03
is anybody going to believe that???
I immediately contacted the Seller and requested return, she was denying it was a fake (how silly!!) and finally offered me a price refund. I declied that offer and requested full refund inc both shippings, and she said she could not accept return shipping fee of 30-40$
I said, fine, i will post with the cheapest option.
So i shipped it today in the same plain envelope with all "as received" and as it was cheapest option of 7$ there was no tracking code.
She is requesting it now, and i am worried, if she will deny reciept in the end.... and will refuse to return my money.... :(
The funniest thing is that she is still insisting it is legit, and her reasoning is that my opinion is not professional.
Excuse me??? For a minute, i still can see the difference between the scarf on the pics in her listing (obviously, stolen from another sourse) and that lame fake that i received!
It doesn't even have "100% silk" tag.... :(

So sorry to hear. Hope you get this resolved in your favor quickly.

Scammers suck. It's why I don't have any confidence selling high value anything on eBay.

Thank you
i really hope my 100% clean feedback as a Buyer will help me to prove *bay guys my position.
In the end, i will just swallow it as an expensive lesson, and will leave the feedback as negative, as possible!
That's a good 'cold shower' for me, and in addition to my pause in buying bags, i am going to take a pause on smaller items as well
so disappointed :(

Ugh, did you request a return through eBay? Its the best way to do it. You have a cast iron case if what you've received is not the same as the listing photos. This is disappointing for sure, but you've found some great buys recently, so try not to let one grotty seller get you down too much ;-)

That stinks! Why do people have to be that way?! I'm sorry that happened to you. eBay should have no problem making sure you get your money back, at least I hope they wouldn't?! Maybe you'll need to put a stop on the PayPal or credit card payment? Aggravating to the honest people.

Thank you :hugs:
hope it will not get there, but yes, i keep PP option in mind
and she is in Italy, that was another factor which annoys me
it's not Asia, where legislation is not that strict, i EU it's completely illegal and i just didn't expect to face this sort of thing, listing authentic pics and actually shipping a fake item...

Thank you all for your kind support, really appreciate it :ty:
