I agree this is very similar to when the ELK was issued in GM. I had a difficult time deciding on just one colorway at the time. Had to hunt for the one I really wanted ten years later! That is likely the reason for my going for multiple in this design! I cannot believe the absinthe did not agree with your coloring dear! I do find I prefer it with creme, ivory, linen shades and beige, and warmer charcoal greys instead of my usual cool staples. But I am waiting for this 10 which you model beautifully before finalizing my three or four. It is on order and meantime 01 is waiting in the wings. Just thta 01and 03 have similar colors but not at all alike in look.SIGH!

Dear lanit, they wear so differently! And as my SA said, every CW is so unique and serves different purposes, among them 01 is probably the most authentic Japanese vibe to this design, he said it reminds him of koi fish which I started to see what he means. I do agree especially the sakura pink of 03 has a strong Japanese feel to me as well, but the different proportions of colors make them totally different. Different seasons, different characters, I feel like we probably even need to pair different perfumes with them :blush:. I know you're trying to be good to your wallet, but I can't help to vote for getting it!

I guess finally 10 is trickling in! I got to see it and try it IRL just a couple of days ago too. I was leaving for a trip the next day so haven't brought it home with me yet. Hubby was really surprised that I didn't walked out of the store with it and wanted to pick it up for me before the trip. Because I went to the store in this outfit. :lol::lol:

My troop of Samourais will all come home with me next week when I'm back home. I'm really itching now. Don't know why I waited. Your detailed photos are wonderful! 10 is such a gorgeous CW, isn't it? Every time I flip it, there's another impeccable splendid color to be discovered. I'm speechless!

It's H magic at work on these CSGMs! That shawl belongs to you, dear cavalla! You're strong to resist not taking them home with you immediately! :hbeat:

Gorgeous. I'm tempted by CW 10 but not sure I can rationalize it, as my only other 2 CGSMs are also on the gris chine background (PdS CW 06, and Tremors d'un Artiste in the blue/pink on gris chine background). is THREE gris chine too many? It is a very flattering color on me, but I feel like I need to branch out.

I understand the dilemma. Please go see cw10 with your 06 so you can decide if they wear different enough to merit a place in your collection. Try the other colours as well. You may be surprised by something you didn’t initially consider. :smile:

I loved cw06 but among the CSGMs I have, 3 are primarily blue (including PdS cw05). My SA - and lovely TPF'ers - recommended cw10 and I'm happy to get something absolutely lovely other than my favourite blue.

This colorway is so gorgeous. I'm normally not a lilac girl but you sold me on it.

This is so gorgeous on you, I actually have to remind myself that it did not look good on me.

Thank you. I tried to show the periwinkle blue and the navy blue parts too. The photos seem a bit blurry here perhaps due to the size I chose. I hope you can still see those colors from the photos.

Thank you. Sorry to hear that it doesn't fit your coloring. I know you were planning to get the 06. I hope you've brought it home with you already. The blue on it is striking!

YAY! MY cw06 just arrived and I am thrilled with it. [emoji170][emoji170][emoji170]

DH bought me a new iPad Pro yesterday as my old one is nearly kaput. This is the first thing I am photographing with it and I love this new 12MP camera. I also downloaded the ProCam app based on recommendations and am thrilled how this is working in a low-light setting. All light here is natural.

I know this is nothing new here, but I have to say this has the best color accuracy I have seen yet. Even the texture comes out pretty well.
