It's the "Prince of Wales"-like check which often reads stuffy. She wears it really well though.

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.

I tried the black dress with pearl as well which is a heavier look for sure. The aqua/green is cuter and I think would be lovely on you.

Wow, what eye candy.
Are those arm warmers?? Or is that too wishful of thinking?
Pigletto's boots are so cute too

In the pic I posted they were called fingerless gloves I love the headbands but woo, they cost about as much as cafecreme's turtleneck !

Thank you so much ms piggy! I have blue/green eyes and blonde hair, so aqua is usually a good color for me! My boutique didn't order either the dress or sweater in aqua, but hopefully I will be able to find it somewhere else during sales!

Wow! That makes the tee shirts seem like a good deal. [emoji849]

Yep according to the fine print from Elle. The wide leg pants are 1700. Seems like a relative bargain. [emoji38]The goofy shiny cape is 4950. And the fingerless gloves are 850. Boots 1575.

Speaking of wide legged pants, I love the ones from [emoji573]. Here's a pic of runway to reality from Elle magazine. View attachment 3795885View attachment 3795886

Sorry for the less than clear pics, couldn't find them online yet

Oh my the second look is so 90' ,not sure I like that again[emoji848]

Hmmm, beginning to think that the Ground Control is looking a bit like dressing up as a Trekkie at a Comic Con convention.

Lol my husband is a Trekkie haha. No wonder he's so tolerant of my ground control excitement. He likes the lower boots too

I'm going to try to make my hubby try on that white knitwear sweater for fall winter. It looks gorgeous in the runway pics.

 

[pigleto972001]

Oh yes ! I think it had pockets maybe ?

The shiny cape looks like the things they put on runners at the end of the NYC marathon . . .

No pockets, it's this one I like.

In that case I really want the fingerless gloves! It's kind of a misnomer, because these are more like hand-less gloves. The space blanket...I mean shiny cape is pretty silly and expensive...I have a few extra if anyone is interested since they give them out for free at the end of marathons haha
