I’m invited to a morning/luncheon wedding. This of course
calls for dressy, but not formal attire. The answer is a simple cocktail dress
of which I own known. It has been far too many years sense I wore a cocktail
dress. Determined not to spend money I decide to see what I could create from
my closet full of what I call a mixture of artsy, usual pieces that rarely find
their way out into the light of day or the beat of the night. It’s just not my
lifestyle to attend dress up functions. I’m a jeans and workout girl.
A silk French blouse, black legging pants, a one of a kind
artistic wrap skirt, a cinch belt, a vintage purse, pair of Nine West shoes
that are soooo comfortable and real gold bling! She’s French, off beat and free
from the dictates of the norm. Nothing in poor taste and nothing too over
stated. Simple and yet complex – two forces of nature colliding together; the
dark reaches of my closet and the light of the day.
My husband loves it, but thinks it a bit too much of a
statement for this kind of a wedding. So in despair I retreat back to my
closet. I dig and I dig and suddenly I come across a one of a kind dress that I
bought in a boutique just outside of Santa Fee. It was a small shop owned by a
couple of designers. They also could sew their own clothes and made everything
one of a kind right there in the boutique. So I bought this dress because the
girls and my husband convinced me it was a dress made for me.
Dress to follow....
