Instead, here is my challenge of the week received by email from my Greek girl-friend Kleopatra who is looking for an outfit to go to a wedding this winter in Athens and asks for some ideas.
Instructions:::
- She has to be stunning, of course!!! This is a commonplace! even more as we are talking about a Greek wedding, no joking about that!,
- Then winter in Athens is quite cold, so even if temptation of Resort and Spring/Summer styles is big, we have to keep it consistent with fresh temperatures,
- And finally, she has to "rock the place" - meaning that we forget about any conservative gowns and co. (which is fortunate because my bridal knowledge is quite limited.) This last instruction comes from Kleopatra's very fashion-oriented boyfriend (si, si, si, a straight guy with a fashion culture, it exists!)
So here are my proposals around a pièce de résistance::: The tuxedo jacket...
Doesn't it fit perfectly the whole wedding thing?
This way, we are going to show Mister Boyfriend who wears the tuxedo best!!!
Pièce de résistance:::

Julia and Emmanuelle won't contradict me...
The Sartorialist |
- Neutrals tones with the underlying message: "I don't need anything to draw attention on myself, my natural radiance is enough",
- Feminine lingerie-inspired lace,
- Or sequins, paillettes and of course bubbles of champagne!
