Thank you for the reassurance, @bagsofguiltypleasure! I‘m glad I took the dress home despite the hesitation at first.
And yes, watches are another love I have.
Thank you @Mrs.Hermess. I wonder if your SA may still be able to locate the twillaine for you. The color and pattern combo is such a happy sight.
You look great with the first jacket, but I love the details on the 2nd jacket. It looks somewhat like a swing coat?
It seems my prior post on the leather pleated laser cut skirt you tried on disappeared. I think you look lovely in all the outfits, and I especially like the leather skirt and ebene stretch dress on you.
You had me at whiskey glasses. Making me dream of a whiskey sour.
@880 i enjoy all your posts and details on items. Helps us track items or pass. Love the jacket! It is a gem- versatile day to night. Casual to dinner. You can dress it up or down. It looks lovely on you, wear it in good health.
Here you go. I didn’t take a picture of the tag with the stock number.

Thank you @JadeFor3st , @nymeria, and @Mrs.Hermess for your kind words
@nymeria , I would have thought the first jacket would be exactly your moto chic style
@JadeFor3st , I agree with @bagsofguiltypleasure that the dress length is perfect on you , with or without the twillane! The second jacket feels a bit swing like. Both DH and SA thought it made me look shorter lol. If they say no in unison, I usually take it off
@Chrismin, my SA said 13.5USD for the swing jacket/poncho (at that eye popping price point, even for leather, cashmere, and studs, I would have balked. (It did not have the fabulous back detailing of the longer one belonging to @DoggieBags). If I were to spend that much (I only have one RTW piece in a 5 digit range) I personally prefer the more structured, flamboyant style of chanel RTW). My SAs also know that I am happiest with RTW in a 4 digit not 5 digit budget that can go with my lifestyle of jeans and birkenstock slip on sneakers.
Stylewise, I do think for someone who is minimal and elegant; who wants pieces that can easily transition from a high powered office job (assuming one can wear premier RTW) to dressier lunches or dinners, the poncho and the pleated leather skirt could be the perfect forever pieces. They are gorgeous, versatile, classic, with a very luxurious twist, and I would be thrilled to drool over and celebrate anyone who ends up with them
ETA: one gripe I have is, unlike chanel, dior, or brunello, that the prices are not on the tags. I’d like to be able to figure out my cost per wear and budget privately in the dressing room. Also, bc of the leather detailing, i don’t think the poncho sleeves can be shortened

yes i agree, the jacket/poncho is amazing, but the 5 digits is a lot! although im not surprised given the details... maybe one day when my kids are adults.. but then i would probably be calculating how many days i would wear it in my remaining lifetime to justify the cost..
I am seriously considering this same jacket! I'm torn as I love many parts of the fit, but not sure if it's tight across my shoulder blades or if it's meant to be like that. Also the ribbing in the inner elbow felt bunchy to me. But I feel like it looks so good! This would be my first luxury rtw piece ever so the price tag is scary but it's so my style.
