An “Aha” Moment

Remember the Balenciaga dress I bought last spring and have yet to wear? It’s been at the back of my closet and I’ve felt a wee bit guilty for purchasing it– it looks too mumsy on me as a straight up shift. After I posted the Vogue Italia pics this morning I pulled it out and styled it with with a boy’s shirt, and voila, this is very me.

It looks fabulous! Love the way it changed and shook up the whole look, and the Gucci pumps are perfection with it!

Love it, especially with those loafers! I think the dress would look great with a turtleneck too.

Yep, a turtleneck and a haircut would be good, too.

Looks great this way! I would usually be against a shirt under a shoft, but this looks contemporary and terrific!

Great idea! As much as we love new things it is so satisfying to realize a new way to wear something we already have….especially if that something was a “problem” piece.
