@Christofle, @Tasha1, thanks for your insight! You’re both absolutely correct; DH was not happy about some of the fit (he felt that certain areas in the body and arms needed to be let out or released); so we’re all going back on tuesday to discuss alterations further with the head tailor. DH would also like the jacket body length to be shortened, which can be done, but only to a certain extent. DH also wanted the oblique turtleneck to be shortened which my SA said that they could do. Through this experience, DH did spend enough time with the men’s suits at Dior to determine that they are not for him. Right now he finds that brunello will customize things enough for him that kind of ride the line between fashion and sartorial. He loves his cashmere Dior pea coat, but that’s a streamlined classic :smile:

hugs

Sorry to hear. Hopefully the shopping makes up for it.

Did you used to have this ring? I thought you had this before. You used to pair it with your black Christal watch. It was something you owned that I wanted. I didn't get to buy it, though.

Went to Dior to figure out the outfits for our dear friends. After 2.5 hours (and a lot of help from our SA), DH (who is a clothes horse) found a blue and black kenny scharf collaboration smoking jacket for our best friend. (Dior was sold out in his size in the matching pants shown below, and too much fabric would have had to be taken in, thereby ruining the pattern), so he got a simpler midnight blue Pant. His fiancé who wanted a turtleneck and suit, started with the transluscent cream turtleneck and a gray suit, ans then ended up with the transluscent black Dior oblique top and a dark tuxedo. First pic is what they ended up with with the simpler pants not the KS ones. The latter pics are the choices that were discarded. Next week we’re going to Turnbull for a white shirt (DH thinks it would be nicer than the Dior one in the pic) and then to Manolo for shoes (DH wears some Manolo sandals and thought that this would be a nice fashion compromise between something dressy and something comfortable. (I liked the suit with the strap over the lapel, but the tuxedo seemed to work best. Everyone decided plain pant bottoms, no cuffs. Instead of a saddle bag or other, our friend‘s fiancé picked a cute briefcase. It was a lot of fun!

The jacket is part of the collaboration with the artist Kenny Scharf. Crafted in blue silk jacquard, the design features an all-over tonal DIOR AND KENNY SCHARF motif with a satin effect. The style, with its classic silhouette, can be coordinated with the matching pants to complete the look.

Sounded like a fun shopping trip for sure! They look really good in those outfits, even if they didn't go with all of them.

Thanks AJ. It was a fun day out.

Yeah I had it a while back but it shattered into a million pieces when I knocked into a cabinet door. They don't sell this model anymore so I had to have it custom-ordered from Bulgari to replace it.

I ended up selling the Christal so that I could get a Cartier instead lol!

Oh my! I better watch out for my ceramic LV ring. I know it can shatter but after a while, I stopped being as careful. I don't wear it very often, though.

Ordering it again shows how much you liked it!

Yes please please please be careful with ceramic rings. I didn't realise how fragile they actually were, and now I'm extra careful, especially around metal doorhandles etc.

Yeah, the Bulgari diamond really sparkles against the black ceramic, so I really didn't want to lose it.

Went by Dior today to check out a piece that’s been on my mind for the last month or so. Also saw the first wave of Spring 2022 RTW collection, launching this week.

Trick or treat?

The vertical oblique pouch! Love the styling with a hoodie, great for a pop of monogram (interestingly enough this is only my third monogram bag after my Dior Quake, and an old Lovely Bumbag from the mid 2000s!). OOTDs to come.
