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:

I would love to see your French country wedding dress when we visit your closet [emoji4]
 
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.

Do you keep driving shoes in the car? I used to think that driving shoes were so ugly and flimsy looking before I relived why they are called driving shoes. I have emergency driving shoes in the car, but usually just rely on the usual method (= forgetting that I have them and ruining the heels of my nice shoes).
 
GK look what you made me do. [emoji3] I went to check out all sorts colorful circular handle bags.

I love Gucci bamboo handles! They are so cool and fun to carry! Here is a tote I have. I have to pull out the bags tomorrow.

Another fan of Gucci bamboo handles! I grabbed my Gucci bamboo shopper during the sale a few years ago and I felt so lucky! The bamboo is so iconic!
 
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!

That vintage red velvet! :hbeat:
 
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?

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.

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.
