I fell in love with the Cuba fringe skirt when I first saw it. I was not quite prepared to spend the jacket equivalent on a skirt back then and left it in the store. Visions of the skirt still hover in my mind. Recently a visiting stylist wore the skirt for a styling session and I fell in love all over again. One piece is available at full price and for my consideration.

It's such a beautiful and unique piece. Of course, being a Lesage makes it more special. My one concern is that it does make the hips appear quite wide, probably due to the multiple overlaying strips. But it's so beautiful and special, and it can be dressed up and down.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the skirt. Also, was it marked down in any store?

I think it's beautiful. And clearly you are drawn to it. I have seen one or two of these skirts on eBay new with tags lately. Maybe look at eBay and the other resale sites first to see if you can find a deal?

I received my two jackets back from alterations.

First the plaid pleated cosmopolite. The only thing we did was to shorten the sleeves a bit.

Next the navy and black belted jacket. On this one we only moved the belt down a bit and added the Velcro to the belt to make the CC detachable.

You look amazing PbP!! I'm so jealous of the Cosmopolite, but it definitely fits you better in the back than it did me! :giggle::blush: It's just as well, I'm over my shopping budget as it is. :yes: And I love how the black/blue looks. You have wonderful SAs who are really good at customizing the looks for you. Congrats on both!

Thank you. I always work with the same tailor at my boutique in addition to the same sales team. It's very helpful to me.

PbP ... Thanks for the tip re eBay.

I tried on the skirt back in day. It is mega pretty. I didn't like how small the opening was at the bottom... made it difficult to walk in the skirt w larger strides. It might have been a tiny bit too long and hit below the knee.

Good luck finding it !!! :)

Ladies, if anyone is still looking for Robot jackets and/or skirts, my Nordstrom has them in both colors and in several sizes. I got the white jacket a few weeks ago and today went in to try on the matching skirt. I ended up trying it in both colors and just love the white one.

So excited for you! I really wanted to ask which jacket you bought when you mentioned it recently but I didn't want to pry. I love the pattern (obviously) and the white is perfect for your coloring, so flattering. I would have gone for the white if I wasn't such a slob :)

Aw, you could have asked! :flowers: I love it so much! Thanks to counseling from @Pocketbook Pup I went ahead and took the plunge. Now it just has to cool off enough to be able to wear it!

It's funny you ask that. It doesn't have the tag with the fabric and season the way most Chanel clothing does. I asked about it but they had two others of the same dress and neither of them had the tag either. My SA thought it might be because it's a "seasonless" piece - very plain. It's from last year. (Interested to know if this sounds familiar to anyone!) Anyway, Saks has several if you're interested. Here's a pic of the price tag in case that helps with style info!

Wouldn't the 'K' after the 15 on the tag denote the season?
So this belongs to 2015 Fall Act 2? :)

I was wondering that - how does K connect with fall, though?

According to the "How to read Chanel tag" thread, here is a list of the seasonal releases:

C = Cruise; delivers around Nov – Jan

P = Printemp (spring in French); Spring/ Summer Act 1; delivers around Jan to Mar

S = Spring/ Summer Act 2; delivers around Mar to Jun

A = Autumn/ Pre-fall; delivers around May to Sep

B = Fall act 1; delivers around Jun to Oct

K = Fall act 2; delivers around Aug to Nov

Hope that helps!
