@BBC, I asked the store, for pants - they do have alterations but I didn’t get any today. They have some RTW pieces but none that I like.

Hello @Styleanyone , my local boutiques (2) all offer alterations and free of charge too. I had my pants altered (I was in between 2 sizes), the alteration was not easy either but they did a great job for me.
It’s hard if they have a limited selection. I was very lucky that my Madison SA specializes in RTW.
I spent some time with her last week and not only did I try on things I wanted to, but I asked her to bring me pieces that she liked - I find that some pieces get a little less love because they don’t look great on the hanger. Even with scarves, there are certain ones that dont get a lot of play here but the SAs love and I find there’s usually a good reason why.
Anyway, one dress I would not have tried on in a million years (and is still a little “out there” for me) is very much on my radar now, and this little nothing top is truly unique and hung just right on me. So I have the opposite problem - I like too much! But you do have to have a patient and knowledgeable SA and you really have to try a bunch of things on.
@BBC, I agree that clothing on the hanger don’t always look attractive unless you try them on. Also depends on the stores - what they buy. SCP is not a big store. I got a few pieces last season Fall 18. I love see some dresses from the SS19. Please share some photos when you see you SA for RTW. Thank you
Silk top, shoes, Rose Gold earrings to an Hermes event.
An SA with a great eye is everything!
There are a lot of things, from RTW to bags to jewelry that I wouldn’t have given a second thought until I tried them on and once I did, I saw what made them special and what makes Hermès Hermès.
I absolutely agree with you. I never thought I would have in my closet some of the things that I passed on but my SA insisted I try .
You’ll never be the same once you’ve tried a one off runway piece, like a souple matte crocodile blazer. It will add a little pep in your step, even if you (sadly) didn’t get to take it home with you. I’m not in the 6 figure Ready to Wear league yet lol
I’m very content I gave the leather version a very happy home though
I think everything is Hermes except the Max Mara and SW boots.
Gilet with medor print from Resort 2019. My first lightweight gilet ever. Still figuring out styling solutions and how to work it into my wardrobe. I would have preferred cardigans over gilets but there was something about the silk knit fabric, the way it falls when worn and the medor print which won me over.
Fabulous taste! We are cardigan twins on both. You look fantastic. I love the navy & orange colour combo more but end up wearing the dusty rose one more.
Looking for a bit of inspiration and found @periogirl28 's post, reminding me it's finally time to wear mine, here in Navy (with navy goat hair H hat for cooler temps)!
