Style Story: Don’t be so Literal (part 2)
I bought this kimono in Osaka many years ago for my mom. When she passed away, I took it for myself. The lovely print and the soft colours remind me of her but I had to make it my own. Back to my tailor Suzanna in for a redo.
A while back I asked Suzanna to put 2 sets of snaps into the inside placket of a dress that I could criss-cross. I wanted to create a 1920’s drape - I think it’s so flattering on the body. I asked her to do it again and the result - perfection. I’m obviously going for a 20s style look and pinned a large brooch where the snaps close to emphasize the beautiful draping. This dress has only one point of closure so there’s quite a bit of flowy movement and if you’re not careful - you’re totally exposed. Thankfully, I’m very conscious of the situation😉
My silver beaded skull cap, chainmail handbag, and silver strappy sandals come together to give me the modern 20s vibe I’m going for.
It doesn’t take much to pull a good evening look together. Remember, fashion is cyclical. As much as we think we’re seeing something “new” believe me when I tell you we’re not. I’m sure, like me you have items in your wardrobe that can be reinvented or restyled into other fabulous pieces. This goes back to knowing what you’ve got. Whether or not you have a big or small wardrobe is not the point rather it’s about what you do with it.
*please treat your wardrobe well. many people work very hard to get it to you.
