Chanel RTW ~ Reveals, Chit-chat & Info thread

[m_ichele]

This excitement and joy is not to be taken lightly. I think many of us know when a jacket is the one to have. Wear it often and in the best of health. Congrats!

The jackets are great on you especially the fit on the peach and the colour stands out nicely. I would have gone for the Metiers too as the tweed is just gorgeous. At these prices, it has got to make your heart flutter and spark the CHF every single time as we say here. Congrats on the beautiful jacket and hope to see more action pics!

Thank you both so much! My heart was fluttering for sure with the metiers jacket then it started pounding as I perspired while I paid No regrets though! Can’t wait to wear it but in the meantime I’ll just stare at it

@m_ichele ,
I like the black one on you, is it thick?

Love the 2nd one- the Salmon color on you - nice fit and flattering
Congrats on your final choice tho!
Very exciting - and how you feel in it makes all the difference

Thank you!! This was the last one I tried on of the jackets. It didn’t look like much on the hanger and I was hesitant about the pockets but once I put it on I knew it was different

Thank you! Not thick, but a good middle weight.

That navy cardi is awesome ms piggy especially w the dior skirt. Love the boots too. Navy was my second choice since i have the blue cardi b. It is so pretty. The CHF is strong in this one

Can someone , in detail , explain what in the world is a Chanel hybrid boutique?

 

[pigleto972001]

Basically I think the space and goods are owned by chanel but the department store employees work for them. They have a pitiful separate inventory. The Dalmatian skirt was one 40 for 11 stores. I think they can get from lease stores but don’t get the credit so it’s not done often.

My two sale jackets came back from alterations:
I don’t normally do doubled breasted jackets, but I’m happy with these

I saw the solid navy jacket at my boutique too but they didn’t have my size. It’s a great casual chic piece. I love both jackets on you!

Thank you so much for your kind words @m_ichele and @Tasha1! I figure I can wear them with jeans, shorts that are a bit voluminous, khakis, denim, tank dress, skirts, etc . . . I’m thinking to pair the blue, black and white one with my blue camo Dior shorts. Im pretty casual. So I dress things down

@Allisonfaye, re the salmon peach jacket possibility posted by @ailoveresale, I chuckled at your comment below Bc I think the opposite: I have darker olive skin and I think salmon peach would wash me out and be fabulous for light pale skin

I can’t think of many people who could pull this off. Tilda, of course, looks magical.

Playing with cream looks for fall.

Hi everyone! I’ve been quiet on the thread but skimming through and catching up since I always appreciate everyone’s thoughts on collections. I got a chance to preview Act 1 today before the release and thought I would share as there are some really cute pieces and reasonable price points!

The skirt in the try on is super cute but didn’t think I would get enough cost per wear. This cardigan is so soft and cozy, it was instant love and came home with me

This cardigan is super soft and the buttons are so pretty, but a little flashy for me:

This cardigan coat was soft but not my style.

finally, I was really torn about this jacket. They only had one size up and one size down, and so I’m waiting to try my usual size, but not sure about the color if it washes out my complexion. But the tweed is really lightweight and the jacket is comfortable.

Thanks for letting me share!

I think that salmon color is difficult to wear unless you are dark complected. It would look terrible on my fair complexion.
