ailoversale you look great in the dress and cardigan.

I was thinking about your comments about meeting that Chanel SA who worked there many years ago. My experience isn't very different from what she describes. I only shop at my local boutique which is incredibly luxurious or at rue cambon. I go in and have a cup of tea and sit with my SA or manager to review the iPad lookbook in advance and reserve what I think might be interesting. It's all very relaxed and it's like sitting in coco's living room. I haven't shopped at the department stores or chased the sale items. My few brief experiences there didn't seem luxurious. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out by not doing so and not getting more on sale but I like the luxurious feeling that I have when I shop at the boutique. I'm usually very frugal and like to save money where I can but I'd rather not give up that sense of luxury and comfort.

Totally agree!
It's not just about the clothes, it's more about the whole experience of going to the store, building a relationship with SA who knows what you like/works for you, You receive an amazing service ,you just can't find at department stores. I just feel it makes the clothes extra special , and as we are paying a small fortune for these clothes I'd rather have the beautiful clothes and the the luxurious experience of buying them.
