I know. It mystifies me too. I see this all the time. My favorite is the sundress with the Ugg boots.I always have found California fashion confusing. There are photos of mothers in leather jackets dragging along a kid in a sundress -- is it hot or cold?
Thanks for the love, but it was ruthlessly stolen from someone. Jilli at Gothic Charm School, I think.
...sigh, Alexander McQueen... I can't afford much of his stuff, but his magpie scarf has been with me everywhere: https://shop.mitchellstores.com/products/996565-alexander-mcqueen-scarves
Searching for that picture tells me he did another magpie scarf, that's sold out most places. Doom!
Oh ladies, you make me blush!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.
I know that Mistikat has a Camerino and I vote that she bring her out for show and tell as well!![]()
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.
GK look what you made me do. [emoji3] I went to check out all sorts colorful circular handle bags.

lol! Thanks! I seem to be in a vintage hunting phase in my closet. I pulled out my Roberta di Camerino velvet bag too. It is from the 60's and i purchased it preloved several years ago. Velvet is the big trend for Fall View attachment 3789563 I wish I had more brown in my closet View attachment 3789561
I recall going into the Camerino boutique in Venice many years ago and passed on a bag that I thought was too expensive. Big mistake!
We are bag twins except my coloration is the reverse of yours though mine is not vintage. View attachment 3789876 . This reminds me this bag needs to see some use!
It's always the ones who are the most quiet about their wardrobes who have the things nobody else has.
I have the bamboo shopper and I am content for now. The new bamboo top handle bags are super cute but I will have very limited use of them.I have been ogling some of the new Gucci bamboo-handled styles for over a year. I can't quite bring myself to pull the trigger, but I do want one!

I think lulilu's point might have been missed a bit. The way I read it is that she meant why were the mothers dressing in different seasons from the babies. Not that she was confused by why one was dressed in different season oneself.Yes.
Both.
It is hot in the sun and cold in the shade because of the breeze.
And in the fall when the days are crystal clear and the humidity is extremely low, there are big intra day temperature swings. It can be 75-80 in the afternoon and 50 in the evening after the sun goes down.
And I forgot to mention the micro climates. A number of CA cities are ringed by mountains. Temperatures are mild at the beach, hot in the low inland valleys, and cool in the mountains. There is an inland valley in San Diego that grows oranges and avocados. Twenty miles further inland, the altitude is 4220 feet and they grow apples. It is like Florida and Washington state being 20 miles apart.
