Mix High & Low
Now, I know that I have oodles of middle and low end clothes in my closet.
It’s time to take inventory, clean out that closet to make room for a few new quality items!
You deserve it!
What to look for in Top-Quality Clothes:
- The best fit (you can look past hemlines and sleeve length, if it fits great everywhere else).
- Dyed to match zippers, concealed in expertly sewn plackets.
- Straight seams that neither pucker nor pull, finished edges and even stitching.
- Invisible hemline stitching (which you can ask for at your tailor).
- Silk lining (when lining is called for).
The first item that I’m adding is the above dress by Diane von Furstenberg. It’s a PETITE too!!
It’s called the Celardo Dress

I tried on a bunch of Kensie Girl today and the fit was incredible. I bought a few items and put the rest on hold till tomorrow. I needed to leave the store to collect my thoughts and figure out what I REALLY wanted.
P.S it’s the first time in awhile I had to go up a size in most items!

Cute, but isn’t Diane von Furstenberg’s idea of “petite” really an extra, extra small?
This is labeled petite because of the length, which is shorter then some of her other dresses.
