This makes the second item by Carolina Herrera I’ve found inside a thrift store and like the time before this one, it’s exhilarating to say the least.  “I love the idea of elegance and intricacy, but whether it’s in a piece of clothing or a fragrance, the intricacy must appear as simplicity,” says Carolina Herrera, the 2008 CFDA winner of the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, of the aesthetic sense that has driven her for over 25 years as fashion designer.  Chic, sophisticated women all over the world turned to Herrera’s label for the type of impeccable suits, dresses and gowns that she instinctively knew how to design.  The legacy of having grown up in a world where women worn only haute couture, Herrera herself had attended her first couture show, that of Cristobal Balenciaga, at the age of 13 with her grandmother.  Now that’s just not class that’s true STYLE.  This simple chic red wool dress trimmed in black velvet is yet another shining example of her classic and timeless touch.  With the right modern clutch and these Cesare Paciotti desirable heels a woman wearing this ensemble might be considered armed and dangerous.  All items on my blog are for sale contact me if interested and when in Atlanta stop by my boutique doubletake.  Follow me on Twitter and friend me on Facebook so we can connect and watch and enjoy my YouTubechannel for that good old fashion cheap entertainment factor.  Toodles for now.
