Even if you buy a dress at a consignment shop as I did here, it can still be costly – but as you know, it’s not about the “E” word – expensive – it’s about the “V” word, VALUE!…..This is a Chanel that I purchased as my mother-of-the-bride dress, found in New York at a great consignment shop on the upper east side. It was at least two sizes too big, but was transformed to a perfect fit by Jacques Tailoring in Belmont (see previous post, ‘Find A Tailor’)…..My goal was to look elegant with a touch of drama on that day, so I accessorized with satin sandals and large rhinestone earrings….my hope was to wear this Chanel again, in different ways to get my money’s worth, and I certainly have……… With a couple of easy changes, here is look #2…….. Here it is worn with an urban, edgy look by adding a Hobo black leather studded belt and Stuart Weitzman booties – loved it! I wore a flashier bracelet and smaller earrings, let the belt and shoes be the main focus.
Which way do you like it best?
