@880 love the jacket pairings especially with the Dior pieces!

@Brooklynite I’m waiting on the floral denim skirt and the pearl flats and nearly gave in to another Dior skirt... (caved on a tee though).

Thank you! The Dior pieces are just so fun and relatively well priced lol! ITA with @jenlee8751 below that I would love to see how you style the ch floral denim and pearl flats pls
@pigleto972001, the Dior t shirt could be a slippery slope into the rest! Just sayin I think so,e of Dior leopard pieces for fall (in natural beige or in charcoal grey) could liven a chanel sweater or jacket

I do love the Dior tees ! They pair well w Chanel cardis and jackets.

Yes! Please do post mods of the skirt. I’m so on the fence with this but a little unsure of how to style it.

Looks perfect in 36. I think its wise to size down.

Agree. 36.

@sheeby my friend took pix of the tag and it was a 34. In jackets, 36 seem to fit me better but sometimes 34 works depending on the shoulders. I’d say the toggle jacket runs big because sizing down to 34 in it, I still would have room for a thick knit sweater under it and would be able to move my arms comfortably.

THANKS SO MUCH! Appreciate the info!

Really like the toggle jacket!!!

I can't wait to try this on, it's so pretty in person, and looks like an item that I can get wear plenty!

Isnt it interesting how we can fall hard for an unexpected peice - trying on Chanel really makes such a difference- I end up loving something completely not what I thought I would
Congrats on a really dynamic jackets the black and purple looks special.
Agree on the salmon - it’s really nice but on sale- (if it makes it)it’s even nicer

It is fascinating that the CHF often comes from unexpected places!

Thank you @TankerToad! Since I’m casual, @ms piggy ’s action pic gave me the idea of a long Dior skirt with chanel. . .I think it’s true that our minds can suddenly change when we try something on. A lot of stuff I end up loving doesn’t have hanger appeal, and DH and SA had to persuade me to try them

the black, blue and pink cityscape pull over sweater is sold out in my size or at least my SA was surprised she couldn’t find it yesterday. I tried on the navy cashmere cardigan with pink piping from last season and it seemed somewhat flimsier than the pink one. I may be transitioning to H cashmere silk cardigans bc i need a bit more durability and the H ones relatively well priced

@sheeby, I love the black and purple on you and now I’m really interested in the iridescent toggle Your black top under the salmon jacket does givenchy it an edgier attitude and suddenly it looks like a classic neutral

The salmon coral over black just happened as I was trying on the black CC sleeveless tee. I don't think I posted the sleeveless tee, but I will as I brought it home. I did try on the cityscape pullover, it was too fitted for me, but it is beautiful, a real stunner. I think it was a 42, so one might be available at the Chicago boutique if someone is interested.

You never know with chanel ! You have to try it then it just gets you like a bear trap haha. The duffel looks awesome. So glad to hear it is great. It was the one piece that caught my eye when I saw the look books initially
The black jacket looks great ! Good detail shots.
I did have a neimans sa in hybrid who knew someone in lease who could get me pieces . However she left and went to Dior and now there’s a hole in my Chanel contacts! Wish I liked Dior more. Then again … lol.
Thanks southtampa. I could use a simple black dress

Yes, I can't wait to try the duffel on in my size! And the CHF was strong with the black & purple, thanks for again for sharing this handle, it definitely captures the feeling!!!!!

I was thinking about the ransom lettering on this season's knits, and was reflecting on the 20C design that was all blue, white and black. I can't rally around the 21b lettering, it definitely isn't as elegant, and it's unfortunate as some of the pieces look like they'd be terrific options if the lettering wasn't on the back side. I really loved the 20C collection, got the 2.55 out of the gate and added the white l/s tee during the sale this year. I don't know if the colors and style made this more aesthetically appealing, but it is interesting.

I tried the denim skirt. there is a lot more fabric than I thought. From the front it looks just like the runway pic but from the side, boy, it's a lot. I'm thinking on it but I don't find it practical for my lifestyle...

Good eyes TT. I was so focused on the jackets that I missed the fringe Kelly

 

[sheeby]

This is the top that I was wearing under the salmon coral. These are 21a, I had been waiting for these to arrive. The neckline has nice detail, and I think the neckline may have helped with the 21a CC jacket, but the fit of that jacket overall wasn't a go for me. I really like this top, it's simple, but super versatile to wear alone or under cardigans and jacket. The sleeveless version was noticeably shorter than the short sleeve version, but by no means cropped. I debated on the dark pink short sleeve, but decided to wait for the white and black short sleeve, which I think I'd get much more use out of than the dark pink. If the dark pink was a shade of gray or blue, I probably would of left with it.

 

[jenlee8751]

Didn’t someone post here awhile back about liking the fit of last season’s mom jeans? I loved the look but the colors were definitely not my style. However thinking about ordering the white ones from the new season based on what I recall were good reviews?
