Ferragamo and Diane Von Furstenberg its a winning combination.

I scored these Ferragamo black
wool slacks size 10 while thrifting in Atlanta with my friends Umie and
Sloan, they were marked at $3.29. After seeing the gold button on the
hanger first, it made me curious as to who the marker was , so when I
saw the label I was quite pleased. Salvatore Ferragamo was a
Florentine and Italian shoe designer. He worked with many Hollywood
stars in the 1920’s, before returning to Italy to found the eponymous
company making unique hand made footwear. Film stars and celebrities
continue to patronize his company, which has evolved into a luxury
goods empire spanning the world. The very second I had these slacks in
my hands, I knew exactly what blouse I would match this up with. I
had just recently pillaged every damn thrift store in Houston, and let
me tell you one thing about the women in Houston, they can SHOP. They
are professional shoppers and once they have gotten what they feel is
adequate wear of their clothes, they donate. Texans are one of the
most generous breeds of people, making Texas like no other country I
know ! It was the Diane Von Furstenberg
white blouse I had just purchased in Texas for $2.00. Diane von
Furstenberg first arrived in the fashion world in 1972 with her iconic
wrap dress (which by the way I have never seen at a thrift store but
always look for it), the seed of what is today a full fashion house.
In 1997, after a hiatus from fashion, Diane reemerged on the New York
fashion scene with the re-launch of the dress that had started it all
and began transforming her company into the global luxury lifestyle
brand it is today. So being patient I was able to construct this
ensemble, a little piece from Atlanta with a little something from
Houston, VOILA gorgeous & classic ! Plus the entire ensemble cost
me $5.29 so how can you go wrong with that?
