A Sheer Winner

Tonight marks the start of awards season here in Los Angeles, beginning with The Golden Globes. The city is abuzz with glitz and glamour and everyone has film and television on their minds. Soon the Oscar nominations will be announced, followed by the race to see all the movies in time for the biggest award show in Hollywood. All the department stores are stocked with award season gowns, and the stylists have rolled out racks and racks of spectacular clothes to be worn to the “before,” “during,” and “after” parties. Jeff and I will be attending a few parties, and I have begun to tear through my closet to put together some winners of my own!

This sheer skirt by Sandro is a perfect example of a one of a kind piece that is so French, it just screams “oo la la!” I found this multi-tasking top by Ramy Brook that can be tied in various ways. I chose to wear it tied over one shoulder to enhance the glamour of the outfit. I was immediately attracted to its dark eggplant hue. I love matching navy (or in this case deep eggplant) with black. Many women I know always ask, “can I wear black and navy together?” Yes, you can; in fact, you must. It is trés elegant et chic! This silk and dressy black belt by Lanvin defines the waistline and pulls the ensemble together. My tried and true sparkly heels by Dior have seen me through many a dressy affair, and this little silk evening bag with the rhinestone snap closure by Badgley Mishka that I have owned forever completes the look. Don’t be afraid to mix and match items that already exist in your closet. If you are creative and imaginative, you too will come up with a sheer winner!
