What no, I am so casual. I think you should wear it often and rock it casually if that is your signature style. I don't wear heels except at Christmas.
Ode to bags we miss

Seeing your picture the first thing that comes to mind is French women. They are effortlessly chic, they do not try too hard. Not needing to be perfect and looking like you didn’t spent an hour getting ready shows you’re confident and have more to offer than just your looks. And that is awesome! It’s very refreshing and makes people more interesting IMO.
I wish I could be more like that. I’m more than I am when I was younger but not as much as I would like to be.
You rocked that fur coat and that Kelly like the coolest chick on the block! Some people are more casual others dress up more, but it doesn’t mean they can’t wear certain things.
It took me YEARS to buy a pair of combat boots!
Not only I couldn’t find a pair I liked, but I had no idea how to wear them without looking like I stole them from a 16 year old grunge Avril Levigne wannabe. And the irony is, of all places, I found one at H!

I've rehomed a number of bags - I think I had a grab everything mentality for a number of years but have finally come to my senses! I don't miss the bags but the specific colour and leather they came in. Rouge vif fjord, gris t clemence and black/white dalmatian specifically.

Remembering from your modeling pix throughout the years, you always look so elegant. I’ve always enjoyed your pictures, please do keep them coming, especially now CNY is upon us. They def give me hope maybe some day I can take care of myself better.
And here’s a pix of me walking my dog this morning.... good thing I live in the city center, and no hunting is allowed here... otherwise I might have been mistaken as a big foot lol
You know that’s the thing, I look forward to having some time to really groom myself again. I remember spending hours on myself when I was younger and no kids! And yes!!! Please do show your combat boots... I am actually looking for a pair that are not as common as Chanel (and I feel like I should “graduate” from them since they just remind me of my twenties so much).
I actually really like how the older European ladies dress here, they are not exactly refined, but just very, very elegant. That’s what I want: Elegance without being pretentious (like many ladies here).
That black/ white Dalmatian must be stunning though... what a collectors item!
I love your description: unpretentious elegance.Remembering from your modeling pix throughout the years, you always look so elegant. I’ve always enjoyed your pictures, please do keep them coming, especially now CNY is upon us. They def give me hope maybe some day I can take care of myself better.

Oh yeah.... I remember seeing them in another thread. Love them! Gotta go try them on and see.
Thank you! Hope you find them and they work outOh yeah.... I remember seeing them in another thread. Love them! Gotta go try them on and see.
Found my pic in the reference thread! A friend does own it though so I can check up on her lol.
My goodness this is cooler than what I had in mind! For some reasons I thought it was a birkin, but I’ve never seen one in Picotin... is it more structured than Togo? And how’s the hand feel?
I have this same combo in kp.. was just using yesterday [emoji51][emoji51]
LOL!!!!! I’m only glamorous until I open my mouth or walk a few steps! I am too friendly and open...when the SA pulls out the new scarves I am dying to see I am literally jumping up and down and I don’t take any of this or myself seriously (which is why I don’t like most of those IG ladies, they take themselves WAAAAAAY too seriously). I am the lady random strangers talk to (DS1 hates this, DH has gotten used to it). I dress the way I do because in my mind I’m still the ten year old girl who wants to wear pink and dresses and fur and sparkly things every single day (DH has to give me the “you’re overdressed” warning frequently). Also, I’m a klutz. So as much as I would love to have such a stunning coat, I could never pull it off as genuinely elegantly as you - and you have uber-chic, effortless style! Some of your outfits are burned in my memory as literally TDF (I am particularly remembering a gorgeous dress and, was it a black and white jacket? Ooh and a few others....)
