Some things never go out of style...


Some things never go out of style.....like a little black lace dress. I believe investment shopping in pieces that can be handed down to generations. The little black dress worn in these pictures was bought by my grandmother almost 30 years ago. Would you have guessed that if I had not told you so? My mom pointed out to me how similar it is to the current Dolce&Gabanna dress being sold at Neiman Marcus. We both got a little smirk on our faces from looking at its price tag. I told my grandma about it and she replied to me in a self-satisfied voice: " I told you, you should take very good care of your clothes. You never know when they will come back in style".







                             My addiction to bowties is starting to manifest itself.

Dress: vintage, Shoes: Moschino (for those in Chicago, they are from Ikram), Bracelet:  Rachel Leigh).


If I had all the money in the world, this is how I would wear the current Dolce&Gabanna dress


Lace and everything nice
