LE CHIC MODE

  Dressed in Blue Beginning of spring I was looking for a nice dress to wear for going to dinners, summer parties or weddings. I loved the style, cut and color.  It’s a perfect dress to wear for just about anything. A simple wrap style with a tie on side. The hem is rounded , a nice detail. A v-neck front and back but not too low cut . Not only that it is comfortable, an added plus. Personally it is one of my favorite dresses now.  Wrap style dress Wrap style dress

 The Basic LBD I have been looking for a simple basic black dress, something comfortable but also cool.  A fabric that will breath , especially in the heat we are getting this summer.  I know black not the best color but I plan to wear it under a blazer or sweater come fall .  I do habe a couple black dresses but in polyester blends.  Not cool to wear now.  The Simple LBD Plus these sandals  Never can go wrong with a LBD . 

  Restyled or recycled  I have been going through my closet and came across a knit top that was given to me, but I have never worn it.  It a lovely summery print , sort of abstract floral design. I like the colors of pink , red, white. So I kept it just never wore it. It felt to tight  around the neck and chest.  So looking at it and thinking, I should turn it into a cardigan . Think it will be much more useful for me , as it can be worn in more ways. I was inspired by the article I shared about how in France they want people to repair their clothes before throwing them out .  So I cut it down the center , first stitching two seams down the front to prevent it unraveling . Then cut between the two seams. Then sewed a band of ribbon to finish the edge.. Voilaa new cardigan.  I plan to add pearls to give it some added detail or just an eye hook to keep it closed .  Have you tried to restyle any of your items?
