Oh ladies, you make me blush! :girlsigh: You are all very kind and I will say that the advantage of age and having seen many things come and go will make anyone seem stylish. I will always have my country hoe down long dress on my French honeymoon to bring me back to earth and remind me of a very bad fashion moment lol! My mother had excellent taste and always dressed well even at the end of her days and she would be happy to hear your opinions.:hugs:

I know that Mistikat has a Camerino and I vote that she bring her out for show and tell as well!:yahoo:

Sad to say this has had hardly any use, but now you've encouraged me to take it out in the fall.

The quality of the velvet is much nicer than what is out there now. It makes more sense to me to have velvet in a bag than in a shoe *said she who just bought a pair of velvet shoes*
I did a closet hunt today and came up with 3 jackets I can wear it with. Yay!

Speaking of shoes made of impractical materials--For fall I am seeing not only velvet but satin shoes and boots. Now, if one has a car and driver at one's disposal, okay. But if one either has to drive, or to take more than two steps outdoors (or unless one wants to wear boots, cart around one's shoes, and change footwear in the foyer), these seem entirely impractical.
But, alas, I am old, so I probably just don't get it.
I own a pair of velvet ankle boots from last season that never saw the light of day. :(
Also, satin sneakers. I own some. I need an intervention.

You are so right! It is stupid and impractical unless you travel around in your own personal plastic bubble or live in a place where it doesn't rain most of the time, like I do. I have the Chanel slings in gray flannel fabric with a black velvet toe. I wore them a lot! Even i am surprised. Still, I am having second thoughts about keeping these new ones. I have not Scotchguarded anything either.

I will say that when I wore them out during the day and was driving myself, I did wear a different shoe to drive in. I am a master at the heel scrape and scuff so I was careful.

It's always the ones who are the most quiet about their wardrobes who have the things nobody else has.
