Thank you everyone! Maybe I should shorten the sleeves then... Pourquoipas you are right, skinny jeans are more revealing if you think about it! [emoji23]

Congrats on your jacket! I was wondering why you didn't want to shorten the sleeves initially? I asked because I haven't taken mine in to get it tailored yet. The sleeve length is about the same as yours. I just need like a tiny bit to get it to right past my wrist so like a 1/4 inch or less. I got mine from Saks and will have to take it there for alteration since I don't have a boutique near by. I am always afraid they don't alter it right!

I didn't feel like I needed to initially because I actually have long arms for my frame and although it looks long in the picture, IRL it falls just past my wrist so my SA said it didn't need alterations. All my other jackets are at wrist or bracelet length and I'd be wearing this for winter (it's heavy enough to be a winter jacket in SoCal), so I felt it was better to leave it alone. Saks has done a great job with my other jackets so it's not like I'm worried about the alterations process, fwiw. I will take a look at it again and decide...

Another skirt ( pettycoat style Oscar de la Renta) I might wear from day to night with the lbJ and a silk top from Steffen Schraut. Thank you for letting me share[emoji255]

The famous LBJ! Looks great, love the skirt [emoji4]

As an aside, how do you like those shoes, I'm thinking of getting them. I have wide feet and hammer toes and at first I thought the toe box was too narrow, but I love the classic style and think they will be great for work. Would love to hear your thoughts, or anyone else who has them.
 
This is stunning! [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7] the blouse is beautiful. It is all just perfect together. [emoji173]️

Kudos to this outfit! Love how u use it as a petticoat!

I'm a fan of the slingbacks, I ordered my third pair now in grey/black.
You can find them in size C sometimes, the toe box is larger for comfort. It' s a shoe that takes me through the day easily but not for a whole day of running errands. They keep up quite well. I have one in 38,5 ( normally I need38) but prefer my normal size in C cut.
I saw the beige black and the black patent leather in boutique yesterday. The patent has been there some time, the two-tones sell as warm buns...
 
Hello lovelies, this thread moves so fast! It's difficult to catch up, I've been away on holiday, Still managed get a little something from Chanel RTW ,naturally.
Not a jacket but this sweater, that I had my eyes on ever since they showed the pieces back in Rome,

I did try the necklace thing on,and almost bought it, but I thought the price was too much for costume jewellery, though It looked very unique, a true standout piece, but still..I'd rather get a more useful piece of ready to wear,

I wonder if I can find them in size C. I'm normally 37.5 but usually take 38 in Chanel because they seem to run narrow. They had the beige/black, grey flannel/black, and black fabric/black, debating between all black and beige/black... Beige/black is so classic but black/black I think I will get more wear out of. Decisions!
Thanks [emoji6]
