Making a Statement


"The joy of dressing is an art." John Galliano  

But, what to wear when nestled amongst artful decor?      



                                                                          

Having the opportunity to be the first to preview new arrivals in this by appointment showroom made me nervous!  Just look at this room filled with midcentury modern and antique furniture and decor. I am swooning over this vintage Eames chaise, Italian Candle sconce, Demilune side table and oriental carpet (all for sale see below).  


Help, I need a drink! Someone get me a Kir - please. It's the perfect drink for this setting. Invented by Canon Felix Kir, a French Resistance hero and, later, mayor of Dijon, France gave his name to this simple French wine cocktail, traditionally made with white wine and a splash Creme de Cassis.  To make a kir royale, substitute champagne for the wine. Ooh la la!



Now to the outfit. In order to match the setting, zasa classic, artful outfit is what's required. I love statement jewelry. The bigger the better.  To me a good piece of  statement jewelry is like wearing a piece of art.  I'm always on the hunt for great pieces both high and low.  Here I am wearing a Kelly Wearstler brass bracelet (high) and a choker found at Last Call in Dallas (low).  A great place to find  statement jewelry is Ebay.  I've found lots of fabulous pieces there at great prices.




But, like most fashion it is easy to cross the line from classy to trashy.  So the best way to avoid a fashion faux pas is to wear a simple background outfit like a black jumpsuit. This is a fab one from BCBG. I'm a huge fan of BCBG clothing.  It's a french brand with excellent tailoring  and they pay attention to details - all at a bon marche price.  



 I'll drink to that!

And, what about your exit? A faux leopard coat should do the trick. If you don't have one,  don't hesitate to add one to your wardrobe.  Your might even be able to find one in an end of season sale now.



Go ahead - make a statement. 

Stylingwise tip:  A black jumpsuit the perfect background for statement jewelry.  It has a simple clean line and black makes any jewelry worn standout.  Your jewelry will be the star!

The odds may be calculated by the pool dimension divided by the player’s wager, however it's unknown to the gamers at the moment they wager.
