New Finds!

So I recently got a couple new investment pieces. One I had been wanting for a while, the other one I never thought I’d find in a reasonable price range. I’m going to be part of a wedding this December that will have an Old Hollywood look/theme. My dress is a long navy gown with a very flattering drape-effect, side slit, and lace-effect top. I love it and can’t wait to wear it! But what about jewelry? Shoes?? Well, I’m still looking for shoes, but here are the earrings I finally got myself:

 

I’ve always loved the “originals” (worn with a silver Jenny Packham gown and also an ivory Roland Mouret gown) but obviously can’t afford them. When I came across these on etsy.com I was so excited, but still not sure about spending the money. Anyway, I figured the art-deco look would be perfect for the wedding and ordered them. They look quite beautiful in person, so I recommend them!

The only downside is that since I have small-ish ears, I need to wear different backs to compensate for their weight. They aren’t heavy, but on my ears I need those different backs. But that’s an easy thing to do! J

 

As for my second find, I came across it one day while browsing ebay. I’ve always loved the DVF wrap dress with both the Patrice and Batik prints. Well, when I saw it for less than half the original price and brand new, I thought about it for a few days just to be sure about it. After I ordered it, I received it a day sooner than expected and am super happy I got it. J

 

I really really wish I had the Corkswoon wedges in navy suede to go with it, but sadly they will remain outside of my budget. Oh well. I have other shoes that work quite well with it, too. There really is something nice about wearing quality clothing and having a couple investment pieces that you love and can wear always and be wardrobe staple.  

 

So those are my two recent fun-buys! Good luck with your own hunting!
