Ugh I’m so annoyed with Revolve right now and just want to vent! I ordered some expensive pants from them, which arrived without tags, pilling all over the fabric and hairs and eyelashes stuck on the fabric. The worst part - the back seam was ripped completely through.

I contacted their CS and they told me the pants had been purchased and returned 4x previously. But in order to return them they want me to front the cost of shipping them back. They won’t cover the return shipping until I’ve already sent them. I don’t know why but this really peeves me off! Of course it’s not a huge expense to ship them back, but where do they get off selling pants in this condition anyways? The pants are of course sold out now, and they don’t offer any real apology and no effort on their part to make it right. Anybody had a similar experience with them? Their customer service used to be top shelf.

Sorry this happened to you! I haven't had any experiences with Revolve, but that is totally unacceptable and beyond frustrating. It is not so much the fact that you have to pay a few dollars in shipping as it is the principle of the matter. To make sure I understand, they want you to lay out the money for the return shipping, then they will reimburse you?

Thanks! I appreciate your support, because while there is a path to a refund it’s a pain in the butt. Yes exactly. They say they will reimburse me after the item is shipped with tracking. They even put an upper limit on the shipping costs. No explanation why they sent these pants in this condition, just canned apologies. I threatened to file a chargeback and they said they’d ban me from shopping with them.

If I were you I would say that's all well and good because after this experience you would never voluntarily shop with them ever again!

What I like about your outfit is how the scarf is both a star and a team player at the same time. A lot of time I feel like my clothes are just a background for the scarf. This scarf blends into the outfit but is still striking. Well done.

This is my favorite vintage bag. It is noisette box Sac Sandrine. It belonged to a little old lady in Europe and it was her pride and joy. Sold after her passing. It matches none of my jewel tone clothes so I have been buying it friends to play with. Les Zebres and the cuivre kelly dog were presents to it. And there will be a LFASDV in her future in the brown colorway.

The obvious fabric that works is a tweed because it will show nothing when you take the pin out. Many other woolens work as well and basically any fabric with texture. You do have to be concerned with the weight of the brooch vis a vis the fabric and that is a judgement call. I have some that I only use on a coat because of their weight. I never pin into a thin blouse and did tear one once when I tried. There are some collars that you can pin into if you want to wear at your throat, and those blouses tend to be heavier material and not solid. I do not pin into silks, ever. Or leather, though I have seen that done. A friend once told me that if you use a piece of felt inside a thinner fabric and pin through the top fabric and the felt, it will work better because there is more stability. I have not tried it. but it sounds reasonable.

Besides tweed jackets and coats (for reasons GK already mentioned) jumpers often work apart from very finest. Denim jackets also work as well as velvet, just brush back if crushed. The looser and more textured the weave, the more you can get away with on anything, and of course just check the pin is not too thick, some of the costume jewellery pins could drill for oil.

I've always been afraid of the same thing. I've been collecting a couple of brooches and have worn it out with a couple of blazers that I didn't really care for. It felt amazing, almost naughty!! :biggrin:

Ladies, thank you for sharing your brooch-wearing tips! I can't believe I didn't think about trying knits or tweeds. With your help, I've finally broken out an antique Danish brooch/earring set I've had sitting around for at least 15 years.

@cathe_kim, next stop, a brooch on a blazer. Now that you've made it sound rebellious, I find the prospect of putting a pin through my clothes MUCH more enticing! :lol:
