Oh, that would be perfect! I hope I didn't overstep - I see something come together in my mind, and then I want to see it, and in my eagerness, can be a bit bossy. (from telling people what to do all day, at work).

But I know certain looks are where we go automatically - I'm myself am stretching into pale neutrals territory and although some of you make it seem so effortless, I find it very tough.

Not at all. It's really nice that we help each other. We all have our individual styles but we can definitely benefit from each other's advice and stretching outside our comfort zone a bit. That's why I enjoy our conversations so much.

Genie: I like it with these two skirts so far. Exactly as you suggested I think. Also over my new knit dress or with my longer pleated Hermes skirt. (I don't have photos of those two.). So I have plenty of options. And I'm trying to not overcrowd my closet with things that aren't perfect. I also prefer it over solid black or navy. Houndstooth head to toe is a bit overwhelming. Note: the pencil skirt is just above the knee. It looks longer in the photo.

Sheer elegance with both skirts. [emoji7]

The first look is fabulous. Much nicer than the matching set actually. You have a good eye.
 
Chanel Boutiques charge state tax even if there is no Boutique in your state. It's their corporate policy.

Chanel Boutiques started charging sales taxes in all USA states several years ago, sadly. The only states that they do not charge tax is if you ship to a state that does not have sales tax or no sales tax on clothing - states like Montana.
They made a corporate decision to do this -
Department stores that carry Chanel can have varying policies on this.

The only way that I know of to get around paying sales tax is to purchase from a store that has no presence in your state. A one off store like Hirschschleifers would qualify. BG doesn't charge either, though why I have not figured out since they are the same ownership as NM.

Also Bloomingdale's :) Those are the only 3 for me.
 
It's gorgeous on you in cream! If your lifestye can handle a cream skirt I would get that one. If your budget allows both, the black is nice too. But a nice cream skirt is not easy to find and is so nice in a 'winter neutral' outfit.
I bought the cream. Thanks for everyones input.

Just a couple of pics from the launch of the new watch.
