While the lines between city style and a more relaxed weekend style have softened considerably over the past few decades, some things remain totally urban - like a mink and leather suit. Let's face it, you may love living on RR#2 but going to the feed store in this suit isn't going to impress anyone but you, which is how people get the reputation for being, well, nuts. And when you're walking up the gravel path to the front door, are you going to be teetering in some pair of last year's Richard Tyler stilettos that you bought cheap on eBay? No, sister, your spike heels are going to be sinking into the dirt with each step, leaving you to wear Wellington boots with this the next time you wear it or more realistically, probably never wear it again at all. This is woman-with-a-doorman fare, made to be worn by a babe who can hear the pitter-patter of her highest heels on the polished marble floors of the building lobby. Azurine mink with blonde lambskin is all fur on top, with leather-covered buttons, and all leather down below, with a stroke of azurine mink at the hem. Single breasted with a stand-up band collar, the jacket is lined in sand satin crepe and the skirt with white silk crepe. We would go with a blonde allgator Lucille de Paris bag and classic blonde kid Roger Vivier pumps and leave everything else by the mundane wayside for the moment. Bust measures 38", shoulder to shoulder 16.5", bracelet-length outer sleeve 21" and length 22". Back zip skirt has a 25" waist, 37" hips and is 21" long. Both pieces are in excellent condition with the exception of two small reinforcments in the skirt's waistband piping, at the sides. $695.00 |
