You can get amazing arm warmers for $25 on etsy. People repurpose old cashmere sweaters and make them into arm warmers. So I'd have a hard time buying the Chanel version, but adding a pin is interesting.
I just came back from Chanel.
Since these are already paid for and mine I think I'm safe posting. Plus I'm keeping both the navy and black long sleeved knit dresses. I passed on the white blouse. It was just a bit too frilly for me and not worth the price. I can find a less expensive white blouse
Here is the VP coat on me. It absolutely needed the belt lowered a little bit on me just like the black and navy jacket. The belt on the black coat was fine where it was. The VP coat is a 40-50 degree outside coat or an indoor long jacket. The black coat is more a 30-40 degree outside coat. Maybe 20 degrees with a heavy sweater under it. I brought one of my favorite skirts and the VP coat looked perfect with it. It also looked good with the pleats of the knit dress sticking out below it. So I think it works with more than just pants which was one concern that I had. See how I just justified two coats? [emoji12]
Here is how they fixed the buckle on my navy and black jacket with Velcro. It's very secure. I'm not sure I'll do it to any of the other belts. I wanted it done to the jacket so I could wear the jacket open if I want. Maybe I'll do it to the VP coat for the same reason. Im not sure.

It was a good deal though when you think about how classic it is and how much you can wear it
I love the Sophia jacket on Keira knightley
The arm warmers are so pretty but I bet they cost a bit w those pins on them. It's a neat idea to have them on there
The September issues are coming out. I love snapping pics of fun pieces. Hopefully more to come
Oh interesting, I thought they were just styled that way by adding the pins for the runway and also in the photo shoot. Do you think they come that way?
Great choices PbP. You'll be all set for a black/ navy fall / winter and very elegant for that matter [emoji108]
Nicole, you're right about the use of the black jacket for years to come !! I do hope the warmers would come separately from the pins bc I think the pins are going to be expensive hehe. But Karenallen had a good idea too !
Pup, (I love how Grace calls you that so I'll adopt it too), I love your choices. Absolutely classic and I have a special soft spot for the pleated ritz jacket ! I am excited about those dresses and kind of glad I have not seen them at my store. Haha !
