And I give credit to periogirl, who first caught my eye, wearing her SWs.

Sickgrl, the midlands and block heeled hinterlands are non stilettos.

Genie, thank you! I am going to keep my eye out for them. I usually pick up my SWs during Nordie's spring sale; they end up being $400ish instead of $800ish. But I have to pounce, my size (7.5) disappears in a flash.
 
Lol, Eagle, I wear them for work. :smile:



That's what I said about bootcut jeans. I am confused about which jeans we're supposed to be wearing. High-waisted just looks weird to me since I've lived through the phase once already--it would be hard to do it again. Anyway, isn't there some rule about that? Lol! Skinny jeans seem dated now and at the tail-end of that trend. We've done cut-offs, dragging on the ground, cropped, straight-leg, wide-leg, bootcut, and heaven help us, jeggings. We've done black, metallic, light, acid-washed, thigh-faded, dark, and deconstructed. What the heck else is there?



Lol! Oh, of course, you are so right. Good heavens! Can you imagine running along beside someone's carriage? :shocked: For more than about 20 yards?
Because of course you are running in the muck! LOL

This looks fabulous on you Moirai, and is making me pause.
I tried the farandole on a year or so ago but DH didn't like it on me saying it looked too chunky, especially when worn wrapped round.
I still wanted a long necklace so last month tried the Confetti 120 which I must admit I loved and so did DH, so we are waiting to visit soon and bring that one home.
But, I am doubting myself as the Farandole seems more popular, and does look fabulous on others.
I haven't seen many people wearing the confetti either to get a feel for it.
Hope I am not making a mistake!!
:hugs:
My input as someone who loves H silver and has several bracelets: I bet the confetti necklace is not that common. I could be wrong, i suppose you could ask the SA what she thinks. But I am quite sure the farandole is always stocked in H boutiques. So, if I saw a confetti that looked great I would snag it, and put the farandole on your list for next item to get. Because it is an iron law of nature that you can't stop with just one! :)

An alternative plan is to get the farandole and then if you decide to get the confetti necklace and it's not available, go to resellers.

I am glad I snagged bracelets when I did b/c several are no longer in production. I "missed" a couple of bracelets and so have to strategize how to get them since prices go up over time.

I love gloves, too. I like the black fabric ones that are made of some kind of stretchy nylon blend. They are good for 50 degree weather but they are hard to find. If people wore gloves for dressy occasions those would be the ones. But who does that anymore?

I try to find them lined in silk as I don't seem to wear the ones lined in cashmere too often. I like to buy them in colors that match my bags:smile: In the past I found them on sale at Saks for a good price. This year there was nothing exciting so no purchases. I still have a pair of wrist length and elbow length white kid gloves. A million years ago I had to wear them for formal occasions. I understand that if one is invited to Buckingham Palace for a formal dinner with the Queen, the long ones are necessary if the dress has no sleeves, so I am ready Liz, just invite me!:biggrin:

I can get unlined leather gloves which are probably equivalent in warmth to the kid gloves you mention. I am seeking the black fabric nylon blend which is unlined and generally wrist length.
What is Liz waiting for to invite you, GK? She's not getting any younger!

This is true! Maybe I could bribe her with an Hermes scarf? Need to find one with horses on it. Actually I would rather go horse coach riding with Phil. I think he is hilarious!
