Uniform at ground level #3
Meet Sarah, the confident counter fitter.
I met this savvy creator amongst close friends at an 'Interesting' soiree a few evenings back, where the alcohol was cheap and the nibbles were far from satisfactory.
As I mingled amongst old acquaintances, and even older friends, I spotted her far from fitted T, with an tantalising take on the iconic interlocking double 'C', I had to speak with the fashion forward thinker. After making idol chit chat about many current affairs, I was far from surprised to find that the top I had desired was actually a home creation. A great idea to get the luxury brands you want with out the help of your parents credit card. I instantly took the idea and was swamped with ideas for my own creations.
She had styled the out fit well and had taken a normally classic brand and given it a street edge. She had teaming the overly sized top with her dads old motor cycle boots (lucky for her he had small feet) and a well above knee black detailed skirt. I really like what she had on, she stood out like a rather shinny sore thumb against the other riff-raff, whose numbers had seemed to double as the evening proceeded.
When it came to accessories, she had played up to Chanel's heritage, by teaming the outfit with a rather classy cubic zirconia bracelet, and her grandmothers pearl arm band. She also mentioned that she had been in her dads wardrobe again, this time she had borrowed a slightly more pricy piece, and had taken the risk of looking after his rolex for the evening, something she described as being one of a collection; I could understand her justification. The one piece of treasure trinket she had kept simple was around her neck, she had worn a simple silver chain with a heart pendant, something that she had found in a vintage jewellery shop a few years back, it had caught her eye and she decided to impulse buy it.
Sarah has given me some great ideas in creating some contraband of my own. She has turned something plain and boring, and that would have been tossed aside, into something much more stylish, and as Coco herself once said that 'Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress' Sarah has acted on the inspirational words and has decided to op out of something new in favour of a new creation.
She is as inspirational as Coco herself.
