There are two schools of thought when it comes to buying clothing; one being that everything should be iconic and highly distinctive and the other that your clothes should be understated to the point of lasting a lifetime. It is the hallmark of youth to adopt the attitude of the former and a sign of fashion maturity to buy with longevity in mind. The fabulous Diana Vreeland - who could have worn anything by anyone, adopted a "uniform" of black cashmere crewnecks and black wool trousers later in life because she had nothing to prove by wearing trendy things. Calvin Klein is one of those timeless things that never looks flashy, trendy or dated. It's comfortable, it's flattering and yes, it will last you for the rest of your life. A narcissus-printed blue silk crepe de chine wrap blouse and wrap skirt that feels smooth as a baby's tushy and is really light and cool. Tying inside, with a hidden bow, it buttons asymmetrically at the neck and can be worn tucked into the skirt or alone, over Dirk Bikkembergs trousers. Alternately, you can wear them as shown and just add a curvy Costume National jacket over the shirt with Martine Sitbon mary janes. Bust measures 36", shoulder to shoulder 15", outer sleeve 25", length 23". Skirt has a 26" waist and is 29.5" long. Both pieces are in excellent condition. $240.00 |
