Hey genie ! Girl I dream about them boots every night. I had a dream I tried on the ivory blouse and that skirt and the boots and I was about to buy the boots but I woke up. Arrrrrgh !!! I keep asking my people and they keep seeing those dang boots when they close their eyes haha. I think there will be a lot of relieved people when I finally get to try them. I sure hope they work !!!

Haha. That is actually a model at chanel, sorry pbp ! Not me. She IS quite slim. Thought I'd show off the sweater and enable some on the boots ! Haha :)

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 have the skirt and I can't express how unique and gorgeous it is, I was actually a bit surprised at how "reasonable" it was priced £4k , as its really a stunning piece and very intricate,
The fit is a bit weird but they have fixed that by taking it in a little bit at the waist, it does give you that 50s hourglass figure.

I've worn it with the Cuba black jacket, for special occasions , cashmere sweaters, simple white shirt for summers , very easy to wear,

I have never seen it on sale as it was sold out very quickly.
To me the Cuba collection is probably the most iconic resort collection yet, and many pieces are truly stunning, I say go for it!

She said it was the "law" sigh.

So today was the first day they can sell ground control. I was able to try a few pieces.

This jacket is beautiful
The tweed is soft and has blue mixed in w the red and black. It was amazing. I was excited to try it ! View attachment 3809962

However when I put it on we were surprised at the crazy shoulder pads !!!!! View attachment 3809963View attachment 3809968
They stick out at an angle. Phew. It would take quite a bit of alterations to smooth that down. I don't know .....

The sweatshirt and hoodie were cute. They are not all that soft and it's a little scratchy, not itchy.

This skirt I loved to pieces haha. It was a 36
And a tad small for me. Even though it's high waisted the 38 would prob work on me. View attachment 3809970View attachment 3809971

It is a substantial Cotton. There are slits up the side that can be closed. It makes me happy haha. I wish I had the lifestyle for it. It's also 4600 phew nelly !

This was a bit larger in a 44 so we had to pin it up a little. I loved this one too but it's ivory w purple iridescent thread in it. Very very pretty. View attachment 3809973

Again it won't fit my lifestyle sigh.

I didn't get anything yet but funnily enough may consider the hoodie as I think I would use it plenty. It comes w a cover for dry cleaning I think.

No boots yet [emoji16][emoji1317]

Thanks for sharing! So good to hear of the styling versatility you enjoy with the skirt. Appreciate the bit about the waist alteration to enhance the fit. Fingers crossed for me.

Fun pieces! Everything looks spacy and the white skirt is very elegant. I'm relieved it's a little out of my comfort zone. [emoji848]
