picture perfect

Back by popular...my "Photo of the Month" selections at reneereyes.com. This series started all the way back in 2000 but I dropped it as my gender evolved.

This time around?

I'm including tips on acquiring all or part of the outfits I model for anyone with an interest.

Enjoy...

...and hopefully I'll see you again next month.

about this photo

Not sure about your area of the country, but here in Atlanta, GA? The temperatures just can't seem to cool-off for longer than 24 hours.

Rather than declare war and end up in an all-out brawl with mother nature, I finally embraced a lighter weight winter wardrobe for the balance of 2007. This ensemble meets those needs perfectly.

how to acquire this outfit

This outfit was acquired from a variety of sources.

• The top-half...the brown sleeveless top was purchased at the end of last season at Cache on the half-price rack. These knit tops are killer during marginally cold weather. Personally, I prefer a blend of silk & wool like this one as it adds a touch of elegance to your casual flair. The dual necklaces are designed to accentuate with the dual belts you see situated below. The larger, chunky one was bought when my nearby Parisians was going out of business & I bought the gold-laced pearls from The Limited. An idea worth noting? These types of silk-wool & rayon blended blouses, sweaters & blazers can be affordably & discreetly (for closeted gals) cleaned at home in your household dryer with Dry Cleaner's Secret - in absolutely indispensable product for us fashion mavens. 
• The lower section...the skirt was one I grabbed at Arden B. They had a store at a "dying" mall near my home in Decatur for years...and it was my favorite for shopping. While many gals prefer to frequent the "hottest" & most crowded malls, I lean towards those with less traffic. The inventory remains the same & the bargains are less picked over. The belts slung low at my waist are a favorite combination I discovered while just piddling-around with fashion ideas. The lower belt is one I bought off of ebay & the upper belt is a bronze colored metal belt I bought several years ago at Cache. I'd be ashamed to admit I actually paid full retail for this belt if it weren't for the fact I mix this unit with about a zillion combinations. The bottom line? Your very best bargains are the pieces you were often & love.

Until next month...
