Vintage Dior suit with a modern Paramita top.

Sloan grabbed this ChristianDior vintage suit size 4 because she absolutely loved thehoundstooth Spring’ish colors and of course that it was DIOR. Umie alsoloved it, saying “what the skirt needed was an update by shortening thehem”. All this suit really is missing is that modern touch, andtaking this to a tailor for alterations would cost somewhere in theneighborhood of $30-50. If I paid $10.00 for the suit, and paid to haveit altered, where in the world can you get a vintage Dior houndstoothsuit for that price? John Galliano first ever dress for Dior was a navylace and crepe column for Diana, the Princess of Wales which she woreto the opening of Dior’s 50th anniversary exhibition at New York’sMetropolitan Museum of Art. John Galliano’s sophisticated combinationof audacity, glamour and street style are perfectly matched to the Diorwoman of the third millennium. I found this Paramita pop artist inspired top sizemedium made in Spain and paid $1.00 for it. Paramita is a Spanishbrand collection that is both unique and individual. Paramita offers afantastic range of t-shirts and tops with co-ordinated bottoms tocomplement the range. Paramita is a fresh new clothing line fromBarcelona, Spain. Their designs are very much like those of CustoBarcelona, you have heard that name before on my blog, very colorful,with unique pictures. Taking a vintage piece and giving it a moderntwist is the “greenest” form of being “green”. Buying clothing fromthrift stores is the best form of recycling and what better way torecycle than with DIOR? Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter &Facebook. Toodles for now. Daniel
