| oscars ready |
This is how it came together:
Sunglasses are new and a big splurge...Kate Spade
Bolero I bought in Mill Valley at Milli with the help of Sydney, who works there and always finds the coolest things for me
Dress I bout at Ross ca 2003 for $19.99 in case I get to go to the oscars and it survived several big moves around the state
Clutch is a gify from my friend Ela in Vienna for my 50th birthday
Shoes I found in Kentfield at a vintage shop 'what poppi wants' and are Dior with a chinchilla poof
Got those band aid boobi stickers to create a cleavage and commando below.
My super cool coat from Kate and Feri in Budapest did the trick and the necklace I made literally last minute before we left on our road trip to LA, it's a big ruby I once got at a crystals & mineral show in Marin and old shell carvings from Bali in 1979.
Voila!
OK, this is just the outfit.
