Thanks girls for your well wishes, they are definitely arriving! I feel pretty good, but I do notice that at the end of the day my body is telling me 'stop it, I need a rest you dork'. Plus, I'm putting my sons to work, trying to overlook the fact that the kitchen looks like the last sequence in a horror movie and the dishwasher is, typically, running half empty. It is really true that the male species is unable to fill up a dishwasher economically...
@MinaAnais I'm looking forward to your outfit posts and can't wait to see what you choose for the wedding! The AC addiction is something that totally eludes me. When my husband still lived in the US, I used to get a bladder infection the first week I got there. Every time for two years. He was working for Congress and since most of the offices are empty over the weekend but the AC is cranked up during hot and humid summer in D.C., it was like walking into a freezer Monday morning. Why can't anybody figure out that it's much healthier to set the AC a bit lower and definitely more environmentally friendly? Sorry for the ramble, summer will be over soon anyways...
@eggtartapproved You found the jeans already, that's great! Can't wait to see pictures!
@bakeacookie I strongly recommend Max Mara. It's great quality, beautifully made and special. I used to almost wear it exclusively, but now things don't quite fit as well anymore. Mostly because the recent lines were all too bulky and stiff and the coats too oversized. I do find though, that what's sold in the US is not as pretty and much more expensive.
@girleuro Thanks for the advice, I'll try to be good! Desert here has just been fruit and yoghurt the last few days. They manage fine. Glad to hear you're doing a bit better. When will the heels have their first outing?
I kind of do understand your bag moods. Different times in our lives require different styles. While I always found the Jumbo too big I do need a roomy bag. I love the WOCs, they force me to be disciplined. Which works well when going out. What's wrong about only loving flaps? They're fantastic, pretty and well made! I think they are worth their money more than some other styles. Like the Gabrielle I'm lusting for....
I'll take your advice to save the money for something special/Chanel. So far non of my purged items are even online yet, so it's going to take a while until everything will be sold. (I made another box today and there will be at least two more.)
Thank you, Mimmy, I'll be good.
Funny, just half an hour ago the boutique manager called to let me know my bag was there. And she said it's very pretty. I'll pick it up as soon as can manage walking more than a few steps. Hopefully Saturday.
@Marilyn, I'm wishing you speedy recovery! Very important to listen to your body and take care of yourself. A little patience in the short-term will mean a faster recovery.
@bakeacookie, I have one piece from COS. I liked it because it was baggy and shapeless, ha, but I actually don't find myself reaching for it often. The dress wrinkles badly, and so then you are a wrinkled shapeless bag. I will probably get rid of it soon. Their sizing was weird for me. Some of it was okay, and my normal size was too small in other instances. Another vote for Max Mara. I have a couple treasured dresses. I do not buy full price, though. You can usually get many pieces on sale. I've never bought a coat. Can't justify it, living in Houston. But you can sometimes find them on sale at the end of the year.
Wearing my new blue dress by SEA today. I wore my little red Gianvito Rossi red pumps out the other day, and I loved them. Too warm for the new black jumpsuit, but it will have it's moment.
Happy Wednesday all!
View attachment 3738845 View attachment 3738826 View attachment 3738824 Ok... Here the outfit I have used so far... There is still a lot of work that needs to be done and one can always improve...
The first outfit was for the Chelsea Flower Show
Second for the birthday party...
Third was for a friends' exhibition
The black dress will be used for the gallery opening....
Sorry, not much experience. I have one D&G bag and Chanel earrings and a coin purse. Could be difficult to find out which year the item was made. You could check out flea and antique markets? Not that you're antique...Do any of you shop vintage? I'm looking to find a bag as old as me for fun, any recommendations on a site?
Thank you girleuro, I'm trying not to overdo it. It's so hot here, I can't do much anyways and my legs are still swollen. I'm taking arnica and calendula, the traumel I usually take with muscle injuries. Haven't thought of magnesium, thanks girleuro!Marilyn take it easy Let boys learn to do things around. Let your body fully to recover. Talking about recovery do you take Turmeric anti-inflammatories and from the pain. And also Boswellia and Magnesium would help also. The faster you get rid of inflammation,the faster you will heal. Arnica is also good. And Traumel cream i always liked that one
Talking about flaps,it's nothing wrong,but Chanel doesn't do too many interesting colors in flaps, you like like boy bags come in such a different colors and blingy. So I would love to love other Chanel small bags as well
And my heels oh I am not sure when they will have first outing[emoji848][emoji17] I am not as strong in that leg and get tired fast. Need more stretching . But I hope soon. [emoji12]
I hope you will sell your stuff soon ,so you could get something nice from Chanel [emoji12]
Love the tops! What's wrong with the pants? Why do you have to dress down?So ladies since I am still recovering from my injury,I do have extra time to shop. So I bought a few things
These pants to go with my pink top that I bought earlier .But also these pants are very flattering and is going to be very versatile
I also finally found,I was looking for awhile Chanel sparkly beret .I also found great jeans skirt and Marilyn enabled [emoji12] sequins
I didn't get the skirt yet. I have my eye on one,but I have to wait till November when prefall collection arrives. So I got this sequin top.
So now it's dilemma.I am looking how to style more dressed down . I have a few ideas. One of them I need to find more relaxed / boyfriend jeans And
now I need advice[emoji848]
All my jeans are or boot cut,or wide leg or straight leg. But they are all for more dressed up look
I never had more relaxed jeans so I am not sure how it would fit my hourglass figure . I am tall ,but do have hips. So here are the pictures that i am considering...Please advice View attachment 3739656View attachment 3739658View attachment 3739659View attachment 3739660View attachment 3739662View attachment 3739663View attachment 3739664View attachment 3739665View attachment 3739666

Sorry to hear about your foot. We should just lie on the couch and spend our time online shopping together!
I'm sure Karl will think of ways to make the flaps more interesting. Now everybody's concentrating on the Gabrielle, but there will be seasons when it's just about color again.
Thank you MarilynLove the tops! What's wrong with the pants? Why do you have to dress down?
I'm not a big jeans girl either, I also have hips and thighs and don't feel too comfortable wearing jeans. I like pants that stretch, no leggings, though! Some of my favorite ones:
