how to wear your chanel jacket...

I'm in education in an informal part of the country, so I can wear pretty much whatever I want, provided it isn't sexy or overly formal. That said, I think it's important to observe what your respected colleagues are wearing as a guidepost, and not depart too dramatically from the prevailing look.
I was wearing my Caban today, and a woman complimented me and asked me if someone made it for me. I wanted to say, "yes, Karl did!" But it would have been lost on her. Not a lot of fashion awareness in my area.

The caban looks great on you! And of course, this is ultimately why I decided to skip the pink Cuba jacket and keep looking/waiting for a more subdued, classic jacket. I'm in a city with a lot of fashion awareness, unfortunately for me just not my particular office haha
Both the short jacket and dress look wonderful on you! One more vote for the dress. It's my own small concern and would love people with more experiences to chime in here. Do the plastic buttons on the jacket @win28 try on stay pretty overtime? Will they get all scratched up after dry cleaning? Thank you!
Ooh tough one. This fit is very different from the Paris in Rome LBJ, and it's a classic style so you might run a risk waiting for sales. I personally think this is an entirely different cut from the PiR LBJ so you'd have different uses for it. This one will probably go well over dresses because it's shorter. The dress however I think is more likely to make sale - at least my experience has been unless it's a very wearable piece, dresses like this won't go fast. So my vote is to go for the jacket and wait on the dress. Sorry if that's not helping things!
Totally think you could pull this off.
This skirt falls in that range of being confident enough to try something new- you have so much already that could work with this skirt - it is not too short and a classic shape and fit.
Your could tone it down with conservative items for day
Would look amazing with your black sweater with the bows !
We pay enough for them, they should be used! I agree, why not! [emoji6]
I'm in medicine as well but don't use a white coat, but I do wear a lot of blazers and jackets as my office is often cold. I don't want to get vomit or drool on them so my jackets often stay on the back of my chair. But I will still wear dresses or skirts. I tend to wear more subtle styles that don't scream Chanel. Definitely no sparkly boots for me either!
I'm so happy you popped in here- hope you don't mind that I posted your beautiful pictures
Everything you tried looks wonderful on you but seriously that dress is devine.
The jacket you may wear more-
It's going to come down to practical and classic =black jacket- you will wear it a ton and it can be styled so many ways
And spectacular dress
I think the dress will more likely make it to sale
Black Classic Chanel jackets rarely make it to sale -
Had a big day at Chanel today - a magical day actually
But first Ari took these photos for you of the pillowbag in black
It's the same material as a few of the jackets
And took these photos of the fringe jacket for some one - you know who you are [emoji173][emoji173][emoji173]
