Nanette Lepore is unabashedly – not afraid of color and I knew instantly when I spotted this top on the racks that it very well could be a Nanette Lepore piece, and I was right. Nanette Lepore LOVES color and mixing prints & patterns, she is bold and daring, I like that in a fashion designer. Since my background is art I appreciate her color palette as well as her fearlessness and most importantly her tailoring. Plucking this coral piece off the racks and into my basket I continued to shop and next stop the slacks department! Yes even thrift stores have departments…. I can’t think of a better match than these Piazza Sempione black wool slacks with the coral Nanette Lepore top. Now I ask you this, if you saw a woman walking down the street in this ensemble would you even think it came from a thrift store? No and why should you… What I did was salvage these 2 pieces and bought them together to spotlight the fact that STYLE is possible second hand. Oh I love shopping ‘eco friendly’ it’s the only way to shop. Friend me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter too….toodles for now. Be STYLISH go green. Daniel your luxury curator!
