Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
Jean Cocteau
Recently Sister Mary had the fortunate, or rather unfortunate experience at a black tie event. For my evening out I chose a conservative little black dress and my grandmother's pearls for accent. Needless to say it was timeless and picture perfect. NOW, what I observed at this gala was not. I should make a point also focus on fashion "do's" but there were so many "don'ts" I wasn't sure where to begin.
I quote Julie Andrews, "let's start at the very beginning...."
Please ladies when getting dressed for a fabulous night out, do not compete with the subject matter. Ie. if the event is about art, or supporting the arts, you do not need to WEAR art.
Perhaps the boots put it over the top? Perhaps not. The world may never know....but you dear readers WILL.
Until my next post, stay fashionable!
