Hi, everyone! I've been stalking this thread. I love every article of clothing posted! Despite my SA's best attempts, I haven't been ready to drop several thousand dollars on a RTW piece (I have a 2-year-old boy who is adorable but messy). But I have just bought two preloved tweed jackets I will be excited to share with you when the weather is cooler.
One bummed me out because I got it on Vestiaire Collective for a decent price--and then saw another, identical one yesterday asking a LOT less on eBay! :sad: But I also won the auction for a beautiful white tweed jacket on eBay from a seller who has a consignment store about 25 miles away-- for $180!
So I guess you win some, you lose some!

Welcome! It's tough to stomach the first purchase but when you finally find something that's worth it and will be a forever piece, it will be easier to stomach. :)
Don't worry about playing the resale game - it all averages out in the end! Just be happy you found some great pieces and enjoy them. :) Would love to see your mod pics when you can!

Stunning! Isn't this the truth about buying out of season! It is very confusing. I want to know if the fashion bloggers are really wearing the Cosmopolite ivory wool jacket, which is heavy, in the heat of summer. It is ridiculous!

Couldn't agree more. I haven't worn my Data Center suit yet! I bought two SS17 Act I dresses; I've worn one twice and the other one not at all yet. They will be perfect from September through November and then again in March, but where I live, they're not appropriate for actual summer.

I was thinking that my Data Center black jacket will be perfect for the Holidays lol! All that glitz is very festive IMO. I have my BD present to me of the silver mini with ruthenium hardware, the black suede and silver slings and I am ready to go!!! Of course I have to wait a few months:lol:

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. View attachment 3800825
