Giorgio Armani In My Closet

Pin It

Dress: Giorgio Armani thanks to summerbird. Jacket: My Great-Grandmother's. Purse: Chanel. Pumps: Tory Burch from summerbird. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Earrings: old, here's a pair. Bracelets: My Great-Grandmother's. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, Diamonds Direct. 

I know I say a lot of times here that so-and-so is my favorite new such-and-such, but this dress really might take the cake.  When my friends at summerbird asked me to assist with styling their runway looks for this year's Style Night Out, I about fell on my fanny when I tried on this dress. Truth be told, the already fashioned ensemble seen on the runway here (toward the bottom) did not need a thing from me. I think I did fall on my fanny, however, when summerbird gifted me the dress.  I love a tulip shaped hem line.  Could anything be more ladylike sophisticated? The dress originally retails for $1,695, but I was able to find it on line here discounted by 80%!

I hope you have an absolutely mahhvelous day!

Dress Me Up (Or Down)

Dress: thanks to C&C California. Jacket: Gap. Boots: Charlie 1 Horse. Tights: Donna Karan (old), similar pair. Clutch: ASOS. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Necklaces: Charles Emerson Designs (Giveaway for this necklace coming soon!), KK Bloom, by boe, my Grandmother-in-laws. Bracelets: My Grandmother's, Great-Grandmother's, Grandmother-in-law's, Stella & Dot. Earrings: JewelMint. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, custom by Diamonds Direct.

My recent close encounter with Madonna shed a little inspiration for the title of today's post.  I recently had the pleasure of meeting some of the C&C California team when I attended the LuckyFABB conference in NYC.  This dress arrived at my doorstep a couple of weeks ago after my entry into a contest to style some of their threads.  I have worn it four times in the last week... three times under denim jacket, different shoes and jewelry; once over chambray shirt.  I love anything that provides me with great versatility and a strong RIO.  A few other points to note, I am obsessed with my new clutch and necklace, and did you happen to notice anything new with my pictures? I can barely contain my excitement over a new collaboration with the super creative and fun photographer Donna Jernigan... more to come!

As ever... so, so grateful for you being here, Whitley
