Second Time Around

Just got back from a whirlwind weekend in L.A… I ended up not having time to order any of the dresses I was considering for the Grammys, and instead got a couple of items from my wonderful dressmaker… And appropriately enough for a year in which several of the record labels went green for their parties (hybrid cars shuttling guests, organic chicken dinners and all), I even recycled some wedding wear!

On Friday night I wore this silk dress with beading along the neckline — which I accessorized with some feathered Manolos and the JHan pearl and woven gold wire necklace I wore on my wedding day.

On Saturday night, I wore a gold-green brocade A-line dress (the one I wore at my bridal shower, no less!) with gold lizard Manolos and the ivory mink shrug I wore with my wedding dress:

And on Grammy night, I wore a new black satin “pumpkin” dress with a big bow on the back (a little worse for wear, just out of my suitcase and photographed here!), with the Rene Caovilla heels I wore at my wedding.

Now I just have to figure out how to recycle my wedding gown. Hmm… Halloween maybe? ;-)

      Wow. I was going to comment about how much I love the feathered Manolos, but as I scrolled down to the comment link I found that everything pictured caught my eye! You have wonderful taste, and gorgeous things to match.

      I’d love to ask for wedding fashion help, drop me a line if you’re interested in sharing your impeccable style ideas.

      The Manolo sandals are gorgeous! The other sandals are also very nice.
