Vintage Style Striped Dress - For your inner "French Girl"

The striped dress is available this week at http://shop.ebay.com/34charlie/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562

What is it about black & white stripes (with red) that makes us feel so "French" and soooo CHIC?

Coco Chanel first made this look popular by incorporating the French sailor stripe into her wardrobe and collections. Audrey Hepburn is also another iconic figure that wore this look.

I don't know if I would have thought to put these two pieces together but something about the stripes and the geometric print on the skirt just really "work"!

The most infamous Chanel suit of all. I love this photo because it is from the beginning of the day, before Camelot came to an end.

While owning a Chanel suit will remain a dream for most of us, we can always try to capture "the look" like Moschino has done.

If you could, where would you wear a Chanel Suit?

Graciously,

Michele
