So much of elegance I think is just slowing down. Taking more time to walk, speak or collect oneself. There is so much pressure to go faster and faster, but then we look like frazzled, unorganized clods. She seems to gracefully resist the pressure to speed up, so she appears remarkably collected. She even speaks slowly. That may be the Juliard training. I don't remember if we talked about this, but I remember reading an interview with Angelina Jolie talking about having to learn a new way of thinking to play her character in the movie The Tourist. She said almost every day her note from the director was to "slow down," and let time move around her. Love that concept.

I think it depends on how they harmonize with your hair length. It is all about proportion and balance.
Moody people really don't belong in a profession serving the public, at least not in a luxury retail store. Try again in 6 mos. Maybe she'll have left. These things happen. Meanwhile, enjoy the alternative boutiques. You really should have gotten offered a bag a year at the minimum due to your brand loyalty. Probably a couple of bags a year, at least.
When I had gotten a number of silver bracelets, the manager sat me down and said I should get a bag. That makes me chuckle. I love silver and I never thought of getting a bag. But I did, then, 3. A good SA or manager should take you to the next level and certainly should do so for someone like you. It's good business, for Pete's sake.
Hi honey! Good to see you too! Your hugs and tummy rubs to Harry have been delivered and happily received the other day! Was thinking about dropping you a line about this.Hi xiangxiang, nice to see you!
Madame Bijoux, yes, well said, thank you.
Thanks eagle. I managed to find a good team of SAs in Paris and to obtain the bags and other things I wanted. The SM at my local store is the only reason I have the rouge h Kelly. I went to a rtw event and my SA was absent due to a family emergency so he helped me and I mentioned loving rouge h and uncommon leathers.
On a related note...interestingly none of the rtw pieces that I purchased in Paris were available at my local store. They purchased mostly the casual cotton summery pieces. I'm surprised that would sell better here than tailored dressier pieces that can worn year round. I thought the cotton skirts and tops were nice but of limited utility to me. I'd rather have something that I can dress up or down and layer or not to be multiseason. Summer lasts 3 weeks here.

This is so very true. And life is so much more enjoyable when we slow down just a bit. But how to achieve that in today's world... [emoji848]
And jawline. Christine has that sharp strong jawline. I feel like hoops (and round glasses) do terrible things to my round/chubby cheeks/jaw
Genie, cherish those chubby cheeks. I had them too. As we age our faces thin out. I think we chubby cheek girls age well because ours don't look quite so gaunt. Same with oily skin, pita when you are young but a blessing as you age.
I have only worn smaller hoops. The thought of getting a hoop stuck on something creeps me out. I just can't get past that.

Wow. Very good points! She also has a long neck. She's just tall in general. The proportion thing is interesting. You're right Genie. It's probably important for anyone who wants to be reasonably stylish to figure it out relative to their limb length, height and face shape. Normal people like you all, get dressed and adding jewelry is the thing that finishes the look. At barely 5'2", when I add jewelry it seems to just clutter up my lines. I probably take it off because dangly earrings seem to pull me down, but button earrings--which generally work on any average height person, create a sort of horizontal "line" across my face that makes your eye stop at earlobe height as opposed to the top of my head. So it makes me seem even shorter. I should probably focus more on long necklaces that elongate, and stay in the center of the body.

Oh yes. I forgot to mention I picked that up. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Oh prepster.. I missed something, why are you not "normal?" I mean I know that you are extraordinary in your taste and insight. But you must be referring to something else. Are you very petite? If so I think large hoops would not work for you. Long necklaces are flattering on most people, I think.
Lolol! Yes, very petite and barely 5'2". Gee, that sounds so much nicer than abnormally short.
I think you're right. So much of style is figuring out how to translate what one sees into what works individually.Lolol! Yes, very petite and barely 5'2". Gee, that sounds so much nicer than abnormally short.
Oh yes. Forget the hoops. There seems to be a trend toward more delicate jewelry. That's probably an easier trend for you to embrace.. I never would have thought about the button earring issue but that makes perfect sense.
