Hermes Cafe Bon Temps~Good Times Cafe

Too funny. Bad news for me. DH is making me wait to get the skirt. It's $$$ and an investment piece but he doesn't think that right this moment is a good time to invest in skirts. [emoji23] He is right. I'll live. I'm hoping to get it later in the season. They did say that it has to fit perfectly because no alterations can be made. It fit me perfectly. Sigh.

I should have asked sooner but if you have a pix of the skirt i would love to see it. I am wondering if it is something like a mid-calf, flared like an A-line, button front skirt. I think those are directional esp. in leather. But I could be wrong. If it's a pencil skirt, there are a lot of those around (at least in my closet ).
WRT your DH, well, it isn't all bad news if you can snag it and something else b/c the price dropped. I would think the price would be dropped around Nov-Dec, which still leaves substantial time (cool weather) to wear the skirt.

Do they drop the prices on rtw? I am completely unfamiliar with rtw. I just got interested. This is the skirt. Except the one that I wanted was dark navy with black and caramel. Darn it. My phone won't let me upload photos I'll try later

Skirt sounds intriguing b/c it has 3 colors. I am looking forward to photo if you can upload. I don't know about RTW salespolicy.

@tabbi001 Butting in to say that I think 90cm is bit too much for a Picotin. I think a gavroche or a 70cm would be much better. For F/W, the Les Confessions gavroche would add fun and whimsy to the Picotin if that's what you're looking for. Otherwise the Mors de Selle has polka dots in the background which is also fun. For the 70cm, Palio de Siena is my personal favourite for this season. Grand Apparat and Quadrige can be fun and whimsy.

Anyway, past few hours I've been trying to tie a 90cm on my picotin. And it's just either messy or ugly. Please indulge me and say something. Don't worry I can take it, I know nothing about art and can't do anything artsy or fancy

I like the last one.

PBP, RTW prices in Hermes don't drop until several seasons later. Never during the same year. You may be able to find the skirt at the Paris sales in January 2018. That's a long wait

Thanks for the info! I thought a sale at Hermes sounded too good to be true. [emoji20]

Here is the skirt in question but the one I have my eye on is dark navy black and caramel.

It's beautiful and it's a unique style. I peruse and have books on fashion both past & present, sewing books and patterns, clippings from fashion mags, etc., and I have never seen this style. H has stepped up to the plate and delivered something unique. This is one of the few times in my life I'm glad I'm a plus size. Otherwise, I would be in a tizzy about getting it. When the pix of the navy version crosses your path, I'd like to see that, too, if you would.

If I see a photo of the navy I'll let you know. Thanks for sharing your perspective. This new designer is really good. She knows how to cut to flatter a woman's body. Sometimes I have experiences when I feel so depressed leaving a store because nothing fits the way it might have a few years ago. This was exactly the opposite. Everything was flattering.

She did a similar skirt with the ex libris pattern last season and the skirt was there all season so I'm hoping it's still there when I am ready. Navy black and gold are my colors. The leather and silk would be a special piece for me to add to my wardrobe.

Hmm why try a 90cm? I think maxi twilly would work out for picotin much easier. I suppose you have the smaller size of picotin so a 99 might be big.

Maybe a 90 is too big to tie on a bag? Although, I really do like all the ways you've tied it!

It looks too big right? Actually, it's because everyone is saying that it's too big for the bag that's why I kept on insisting to try. I'm stubborn so yes the scarf will go back to the box. Thanks guys!

The skirt looks great! What colors were available last year? Maybe if they had a navy for that then it will be present in the coming sale, it could be meant for you!

PbP, quickly chiming in to say that this skirt is amazing. What a stunning creation and fit. This is a heart-flutter kind of piece.

I wish you both had taken a picture of how the skirt looked when you tried it on..
