Catching up again today due to internet failure at home.Saturday night was my first wearing of the Phillip Lim top and it went great. I felt confident in my look and got compliments galore. I'm not sure I've ever had that many compliments in one night, except that time I dressed up as a zombie prom queen.
This time I wore the top with a J. Crew turtleneck, BR Skinny jeans (light wash, $89) and Naturalizer boots($150. Yes, you read that right. Naturalizer. I'm not 70, but I need comfy shoes to trek around this city and they've been making cuter shoes lately. Check them out - your feet will thank you.
Later this week I'll be wearing the top in an entirely different, and somewhat age-inappropriate way, to go to the Lady Gaga show. I think I'm going to be proven right about this top. That it'll get lots of wear, lots of compliments and be worth the money spent.
PS - I bought the classic Chanel quilted purse for, wait for it.....$2500. BUT, It will never go out of style and will actually last me the rest of life so totally worth it. If I had to do it again though, I might have looked for a used one on ebay, but they are hard to find.
LOVE IT! This is such a great top, and even though it is unique, it's also very versatile. Kudos on the smart buy.
ReplyDeleteThe chanel bag is indeed a classic, so good for you.
I wonder what you think about bag borrow or steal--where you rent designer bags. Is that totally blurgh?
You know, I just don't use bags that way. I think it would work for people who like to carry the same bag until they tire of it. I switch my bags out most days and sometimes twice if I'm going out at night. I think they are starting a similar service with designer gowns, which makes more sense to me since you'd wear it once and never again.
