Thank you, I'm just learning the value of them. What do your brooches and pins look like?

Oh you look pretty as a picture, and just look at that fabulous festive dining room.
I have one losange, @nicole0612, a men's cashmere. I bought it in the fall, and it's been a horrible winter, so I haven't used it much yet. I think it will be perfect for summer when you want some warmth around the neck, but still a light and breezy feel. It weighs absolutely nothing!
Thank you both! I tried on one GM cashmere men’s losange and it seemed like a lovely size. I was not able to try a MM cashmere, but I suspect it might be a little too small?

You look so beautiful!
I tried on one of the new small CS ones, and didn’t care for it.
I might like one of the larger ones, but didn’t try one on.
It’s so nice to see your outfits, ladies! Glad you’re on the mend @papertiger
@nicole0612 @Moirai @Cordeliere - gorgeous colours - thank you for posting them. I’ve been crazy-busy and in a wee slump, but this weekend is finally warm and sunny and it’s helping.
A couple of recent outfits - Chanel dress, cardi, jacket, and not all visible costume jewelry.
PT, the closest item for now that works on this dress is my old enamel chain belt used as a necklace. I’m still looking for a strong vertical but the edge stripe on the cardi seems to help.
It’s finally time for short jackets.

Yes, mine is GM from the men's department. I don't remember trying on MM
Thank you for the kind compliments, ladies! Thanks to all for the likes!
@Genie27 I love the cardi and dress combo. I have been wearing similar style with my cosmopolite cardi over a NM cashmere dress. Did you recently get the jacket?
@Moirai it’s an older jacket - 2009 Fall. It’s a thick but airy wool tweed so it’s great for 10C/50F weather. For me that is spring/fall. I have another one that is lighter but still bulky looking for 60F. And my Versailles is for almost all summer.
Biggest complaint for this one is the pilling - it’s quite bad and makes the jacket look a bit shabby. I will need to de-pill when I’m in the mood - *very carefully* as the cross threads are very thin ply and I could easily cut them with a razor and ruin the whole jacket.
I’m eyeing a basic version of one of the Salzburg jackets - the ones with the box pleat on the back - for casual use in serious winter.
Then I will have a full set of Chanel jackets for each season and can start to double up.

Some of the older jackets are really beautiful. It’s great that they are in the resale market rather than being discarded. Do you have pic of the Salzburg you’re interested in?
Sorry to change the subject. I wanted to share a shot of this Joie denim jacket I am wearing today. @gracekelly and I were talking a couple weeks ago about brooches on denim. These crystal one's came on this jacket and I love the bling.
