I tried on a few pieces today but didn't take pictures because I was in the dressing room with my mother, who already thinks I'm a bit of a nut with all the time I spend on TPF. I tried on two sweater dresses - the black cashmere one with the pearl fastener detail at the shoulder, and another in black with gold metallic thread and lovely gold/brass colored buttons. They were both a bit itchy, but the one with the pearl details was gorgeous. I thought the black was a little funereal, but the boutique didn't order the aqua one in either the dress or regular sweater.

Also tried on wide legged black trousers with the cuff detail at the hem, but they only had a 36 and I needed a 34. They were lovely though, and the first pair of wide legged and high waisted trouser I've tried on that didn't give make it look like my crotch was down to my knees.

The last thing I tried on was a very form fitting black turtleneck top with some sheer detailing across the chest and thin pleats. It also had these beautiful little muted gold buttons up the sides. That was by far my favorite thing I tried, but it was $2,650 and I couldn't justify that for what is essentially just a black turtleneck.

Sometimes itchiness in a dress can be addressed with a slip - but if it's still itchy through that, then I tend to think it's not worth it. Depends on how much you like it. for the black turtlenck, you can always wait for sales. ;)

Although pretty to look out, I doubt it will hold up well in the rain... depends on how much practicality you want!

You won't believe this, but my Chanel SA poured water on the coat to see how resistant it was. The water just rolled off. If it's a deluge it probably won't be good enough, but then again I'd try to get out of a deluge.

I actually happened to be wearing a slip under another dress today which helped, but it was still itchy wherever the slip didn't touch [emoji85] and that is a good point about the turtleneck! January will be here before we know it hehe

The boutique said they had just gotten it in today, but that it was still part of act 1. Couldn't find any pictures of it in the runway looks, but perhaps it was hiding under the coats!

Not today! I passed on the sweater dresses because I found them itchy, the pants unfortunately weren't my size, and I'm going to wait for sales to see if that turtleneck makes it!

You're getting closer !! You'll find something fantastic !! I just know it :) you have a good idea of what works and what doesn't :)

Usually sweaters make sale unless something is really a hot item. Jackets are plus minus depending on how classic the item is and how hot it is :)

Haha yes, thanks pigleto!! That is great information to keep in mind [emoji4] I will probably make another big push to find something in sales in January, and until then I will just keep poking around and keep an eye out! I also found the absolute loveliest SA and would 100% purchase from her in the future!
