A more ‘Formal’ Affair at the Charity Shop

I was met with a more somber tone at the Charity Shop this week, ‘ Stephanie’  (I named the mannequin this in my last post as it seems only polite to do so) was dressed in a long black textured coat with a brown fake fur collar (which is actually bang on trend this season), a formal wear black brimmed hat with a black chiffon scarf.

‘Stephanie’ in a more ‘Formal & Funereal’ mood

The swirling leaf design dress from last time remains & there is no accompanying bag, (which I think a black Jackie O style bag would suit) as somehow she looks a bit bare without one…though the Jackie O Black bag was originally made by Gucci in 1947 ( & named after Jackie) so I doubt it would end up in a Charity shop..but we can only dream…..the look is rather ‘funereal’ with Stephanie’s rather sad look…also I think I would of changed the dress to say a smart brown/taupe skirt that would of complimented the lovely brown fur collar, but well we can’t have everything…what I do like is this look definately ‘means business’ which totally links in with my ‘no-nonsense’ approach!
