@@ClaireLouiseLuxe I have a few pairs and yes, it is a deep breath moment when you leave the house, but the you just have to own the look. Though I appreciate I’m part of a culture that embraces slippers as outside shoes. I literally have ‘good going out uggs’
Don’t you just love when the sale speaks to you! You have to enjoy those Orans Claire, it doesn’t matter if you wear them. Few times do de use and then sell, you got the opportunity to get them for 50% off!
Claire I loved the orans I have pink fur sandals with pearls on them. Every time I wear them I get compliments. I say enjoy them if you want or save them for a vacation. Loved all the items you chose. Take care🌸🌸🌸🌸
Thanks! The top is so flattering and comfortable, so I am thrilled with that. The colour of the sandals is so vibrant which is why I couldn't resist them!!
I love, love, love the bracelet, Claire. It’s giving Art Deco vibes which is one of my favorite styles. The scarf ring is similar and I really like it as well. I’m so happy that you’re pleased with the majority of your purchases. I believe that Meredith has a pair of those Oran sandals. If I’m remembering correctly, perhaps you could get her advice. Thanks for sharing images of and the history of the Alexandra Palace, too.
Thanks so much! I am so pleased with the costume jewellery - it is something I don't like to pay a lot for, so at half price it was worth it! I'll have to ask Meredith...!
I love the sandals! I was at the same sale and I got the furry Orans in the purple and I have already worn them out for dinner with a pair of faded blue jeans and they looked great! I have also seen a very stylish woman wearing the orange ones in London at one of the Hermes boutiques, also with jeans and she looked great - she inspired me to wear them out 😊
Ooo the purple ones were fab too!! Glad to hear you been inspired to wear them - the styling you describe sounds great! I need to have the confidence to be similarly inspired!!
@@ClaireLouiseLuxe the thing to do is to tone them down - for example wearing them with a pair of blue jeans so that you get the mix of high and low ☺️
Lovely purchases, just wear the shoes as house shoes as long as they make you happy, keep them. I loved the history part of the castle, thank you for that and I never realized that London has quite the high risers as well.
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed the history section! The view from the palace is stunning and it doesn't capture well enough on camera! I am starting to come round to the idea of just wearing the sandals in the house for a very bougie indoor look!!
Claire, I say rock the sandals! I could see wearing them with jeans or some capri pants or even a lovely skirt. Styling the whole outfit will help you see the sandals in a different light. Nobody will think they are slippers unless you wear a housecoat or pajama like clothes. The furry look is in still in style. Wear them and enjoy!
Haha - my hometown is a very diverse place so I am sure there are some that would appreciate them!! I just need to not feel so self conscious and have the confidence to wear them!
Yep - I need to definitely try styling them and seeing if I can feel comfortable and confident in them! Thank you so much for watching and your feedback!
Claire, I got the same furry orans and I view them as a nice “ bougie vacation/in flight ✈️/ go down to the hotel restaurant for brunch” slippers. Orans - furry or not - are slippers. They are flat slippers that aren’t really meant to walk long distances in or in formal settings. So I view them as such. I wouldn’t purchase these at full price, but I did like them and think about them when they were at full price. So getting them on sale pushed me to get them. But if they don’t work for your day to day life, just sell them!
Hi! Yep I am starting to think about them the same way and be pleased I can enjoy in that way without paying full price!! It’s the best attitude to have I think ☺️
Thanks my lovely! I need to muster up the confidence to go out in them or enjoy wearing them as really luxurious indoor shoes!! I can't bring myself to part with them so it has to be one or the other!!
The furry Oran sandals are truly lovely! So much fun! It very much depends on how you style those sandals...your mother and husband are not fashion gurus. A small town might be the same. Be confident and go fashion forward! People were wearing pyjamas as day wear not so long ago, and some wear them still.... Enjoy your shoes! In PUBLIC!! The hat is fantastic and really suits you. The pale scarf is also great. Well done I'm slightly envious that you get access to an actual Hermès sale! I like the other items but to me these are the standouts.
Thanks so much!! Yes I often ask for hubbies and my mums - but I will ignore it if I don't agree lol!! I need to muster up the confidence and go for it! Thanks for your lovely comments about the scarf and hat - they were such great finds!
@@ClaireLouiseLuxe I just got some in shearling fushia but really closer to a plum colour! Not Hermès but Coach, and they have memory foam they're so comfortable and cute! Just to let you know you influenced me...haha! And I will definitely wear them out of the house. They look good with jeans. I will wear them with my purple lizard skin Bally oversized bag so they know it's intentional to wear them. I live in a boho sort of area anyway, pretty much anything goes here.
Such a nice haul!!! 🧡 Love everything! You could keep them as your house slippers, and look fab while home! Wish I could go to that sale with you! Maybe next year? 😆🫶🏼😘
Thanks Maria! I am thinking of wearing them around the house and just being very bougie!! It would be fab to go to the sale together!! They did do one either last year or this year in Canada - but I no idea where!!
I just came back from the Toronto Hermes sale … there was not much left so a little disappointed I really wanted the same style bangle you got just beautiful ❤However I did get my first silk scarf. ❤thanks for sharing
Sorry it was not as good as you hoped! I find they are hit and miss - the first one I ever went to had hardly anything available so I can understand the disappointment. Glad that you got a scarf though - enjoy!!
Personally I would want to keep those fuzzy orange delights pristine, I'd keep them as house shoes. You have years of wear ahead of you as long as you don't drag them through outside dirt. I love the Chaine d'Ancre bracelet. Fab blouse! That scarf is a real score.
Thanks! I couldn't remember the name of the bracelet so thanks for clarifying!! Yep that is the other thing with the sandals - I don't want to ruin them so outside wear would be an issue. Its just my head concerned that they are extravagant for indoor use only!
Pop them on when your friends come round, instead of slippers. They’re fun and you say they go with lots of your outfits. I’d wear them to friends’ homes too but probs not to run errands in. The blouse is lovely too. A lot of their RTW with prints can look a bit old fashioned but I think you did great with this. Enjoy your purchases.
Thanks! Yes, Hermès RTW doesn't always appeal, but this blouse was very me for a change!! I am coming around to the idea of enjoying the sandals as an indoor item and doing what you suggest!
I really like your orange fluffy sandals! I appreciate what you're saying though so I guess for me it would come down to how much I'd paid for them, and if I was comfortable spending x amount on something that might never leave the house. I think they look FAB though!!
Thanks! That's my dilemma - I do love them but it definitely seems extravagant if they don't leave the house!! I will be having a good think about them!
I love the furry orans! You love them and just need a bit of courage to wear them. Try not to worry about what others might think. It’s freeing to just be you! Try it and see how it feels. I think they are fab. My style would be to wear them casually with wide leg jeans etc. We are similar size in shoes I seem to remember so you can always send them my way 😂
I agree totally. If Claire Louise is feeling that they are in danger of making her look a bit mumsy the thing to do is make them sing even more, make them the hero and be purposeful what else I'm wearing. So I'd wear navy all over with another bright item like a bag one in turquoise would work. Or black all over and same. This underscores how intentional the shoes are. If people don't appreciate that they're sad specimens of humanity.
Will definitely give you first refusal if I decide to sell, Deb! And yes I just need to find the confidence. Its all about the styling and the attitude!

You could try wearing them indoors a few times to see if you like them as your house shoes and if they work with your style… if you are still not sure after that, then you should probably sell them… loved the blouse, looks great on you ❤
Oh I. Love it all.😊. The fuzzy orans are so cute. You can wear for going on holiday or if you have people over for the Holidays (I wear fancy slippers when company comes over). I personally would wear them out side too😊, they look comfortable and they are cute.
They are super comfy and the colour is so vibrant! I can't bring myself to sell them quite yet so for the time being I am thinking about wearing them indoors and maybe building up to going out in them - only in really good weather though!!
I do love them! And yes it shouldn't matter what others think - I would just feel a bit self conscious - so really its up to me to get over that and go for it!!
Hi! Welcome! Thanks for watching!! I have a subscription to the company that runs the sales. Different levels of subscription give you difference access. Its Arlettie.com
Absolutely! Yes, its so there is no dispute over what is and isn't sale items. If you wore a pair of Orans to the sale for example, then took them off to try something else on, someone might take yours thinking they are part of the sale! Or if you were wearing a bracelet like the ones on sale they may accuse you of stealing it! It's to avoid any situations like these :)
They are slippers😂 if you were very young you could rock them but at middle age you have to have a LOT of style and attitude to pull it off … I think you’d need to dress very cool as well. I don’t think you could wear them with conservative clothing…to Tesco. No…. Just use them as slippers!
I don't know if its really about age - but it is definitely about confidence and attitude as you say. I wouldn't feel comfortable currently wearing them out - but maybe with the right styling. I am coming round to thinking about just enjoying them as an indoor luxury!
Haha I think most of the people where I live probably don’t know what they are so would assume they are slippers!! But I agree anyone in the know would understand!! 😂
I don't really think it is about age - it is more about what you feel comfortable and confident in! I would just feel a bit self conscious - but I know others my age who would rock them!
OMG the shoes!!! You must keep them Claire!! You can totally rock these, you just need the confidence.
They are fab which is why I’m so torn! I know you have some shearling ones too - so you’re spot on I just need to get my confidence up!

Claire I loved the orans I have pink fur sandals with pearls on them. Every time I wear them I get compliments. I say enjoy them if you want or save them for a vacation. Loved all the items you chose. Take care🌸🌸🌸🌸
OMG Claire I hope you kept the fury Oran’s they are GORGEOUS!!!😍🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Yes I have them! Haven’t made any decisions yet - but I love them so I don’t think I can part with them! Will just have to wear them…! 😆
Wow… Love the top.
Love the sandal lovely color. Great finds❤❤❤ enjoy ❤❤❤

Terrific advice! Also the town sounds like it could do with a slight shakeup if they can't appreciate those Orans! I say spread the joie de vivre!!

Yep - I need to definitely try styling them and seeing if I can feel comfortable and confident in them! Thank you so much for watching and your feedback!
The bracelet is lovely and looks great with your stack!
Thanks! It is very pretty and hopefully fits in!
You look so pretty in the hat and the scarf is stylish. The blouse is beautiful and the bracelet looks wonderful :)
Thank you so much! I am so happy with all of those items - definitely the best haul yet from an Hermès sale!

I love the sandles!!! You can absolutely carry this off!❤
Oh thank you!! I’m hoping eventually I can get the confidence to try!!
I love the hat!! It’s perfect for you!
Thanks Meredith! Makes me feel very chic!!
Claire I love everything from the sale! Love the hat!
The fuzzy sandals I can tell you are not into them. I would sell or use as slippers.
Thanks. I’m so pleased with my haul! I am still thinking about the sandals….
Where the Orans to do the food shop! 🤘🏻🤩 Failing that, slippers it is! 🧡 OMG the hat is EVERYTHING! Great picks, Claire. 😙👌🏼 x

Hi Clare, I’m new to your channel, wondering how you get an invite to these sales? You mentioned you went to a Fendi Sale also
Hi! Welcome! Thanks for watching!! I have a subscription to the company that runs the sales. Different levels of subscription give you difference access. Its Arlettie.com
Keep the sandals. You love them. You got them 1/2 price. Enjoy them at home or use them when you travel.
Thanks! I am coming around to that idea!
I got an invitation this year but couldn’t make it unfortunately
Oh that's a shame! Maybe next time :)
Hello! How can one get invited to the Hermes sale?
I have a subscription to the company that runs the sale. Arlettie.com
I want some furry orans to wear as fancy slippers, very luxurious 😊
They feel amazing on the feet! I do love them!
I absolutely understand why you feel uncomfortable wearing the Orans outside but would it really be so bad if they remain as your actual slippers?
No, you are right - it wouldn't - I am starting to come round to that idea and thinking about just enjoying them in the house!
Why don’t you just wear them as beautiful house shoes - especially if you have friends round 🎉
Seriously! They will hold up for longer if you don't wear them outdoors. So make them slippers!!! They will stay fresh and fun for years this way.
I am definitely coming round to that way of thinking!! I do really love them 😆
I am starting to think that might be the way to go - and yes the other reason for not going out with them is I don’t want to ruin them!
Just be carefree and wear the orans, the cap is super cute on you.
Thank you! Yep I need to get over myself and just enjoy them as you say!!
Why would they not want you wearing anything Hermes at the sale?
Security reasons: to avoid confusion as the items on sale could be mixed with the person's own and worn out of the store.
Absolutely! Yes, its so there is no dispute over what is and isn't sale items. If you wore a pair of Orans to the sale for example, then took them off to try something else on, someone might take yours thinking they are part of the sale! Or if you were wearing a bracelet like the ones on sale they may accuse you of stealing it! It's to avoid any situations like these :)
Just wear as slippers

Sell the Orions. They look like slippers. Young girls university age can rock these slippers, but your little town would not appreciate them.
I don't really think it is about age - it is more about what you feel comfortable and confident in! I would just feel a bit self conscious - but I know others my age who would rock them!
