Want to thank everyone for their eye candy contributions and congrats on their Cruise purchases. Just got home from domestic travels so some detail pics only. Stock is arriving at my local store very slowly for this collection.
Isn't the second tweed beautiful?
Does anyone have tips in styling a vest like this? I never know how to wear them but I really love the fabric...
If I recall correctly the tweed is actually the text from letters written from Cocteau to Chanel

it’s gorgeous in person
 
I love seeing everyone’s try-on pics! Cruise hasn’t officially launched here but a lovely SA showed me a few things today. Apologies not the best photos - was rushing as the store was closing (impulse visit on my part). Sadly my store does not yet have the black crop jacket with white trim or the pink skirt.

For reference I’m 5’2 and usually size 34. Hope these pics are helpful!

Wore my gold 21A skirt which has become one of my favourite pieces because it’s so versatile. The black dove T-shirt is quite cute. The black skirt is probably a bit too long on me but I love the subtle white trim and lining. I didn’t think I would like the pink jacket but I loved it on. The white skirt is the matching skirt for the long white jacket. The long jackets however (just have photo of the black in 36 but also tried the white in 34) are too overwhelming on my short stature. The Lesage tweed is cool but not really my style.

I’m thinking of getting the pink jacket but would like to try it with skirt before deciding because I like to have sets :blush:

Thanks for sharing the pics. The pink jacket looked fabulous. I hope the skirt works out - it would be a fantastic set.

I believe you had the cropped black and white knit cardigan in your room. Did you try it on? I have only seen one pic of it on and would like to know your impressions. My SA said it was ordered, but they have not received it yet.

I think it would look great on quite a lot. A plain t-shirt, a white collared blouse, over a long sleeve sweater for mild winters etc. I’m just not sure I want all those words in the Tweed. The one I am most seriously considering is the fringed Lesage. The 34 is almost perfect fit. But it’s black/ white. Again. (Personal consideration for my own wardrobe only, certainly not dissing it at all).

The last jacket looks great on you. I'm 5'4" and the 34 was a bit too short on me while the shoulders need to be taken in. The proportion looks just right on you.

Is the black jacket lesage? I had thought it was a regular "fantasy tweed"?

Going out to a concert for the first time since the pandemicView attachment 5249659 began
You look stunning and I love your hair! Enjoy the concert! :biggrin:
@Ailes, I’m also 5’2”, but chunkier than you are, and I also found the longer jackets overwhelming on my height. ( in my imagination I’m at least six inches taller lol)

@BigOnBags, your question re the black and white was not directed for me but for @Ailes, but I wanted to share my observation in case it helps anyone. I’m a size 40 and chunkier than she is, and the white trim made me look broader and heavier. My SA actually made a sad face and said if the trim wasn’t so prominent, it could be more flattering, but it was a no go for me.
