The rebirth of Burberry. Do you have pieces that you put in to retirement? I most certainly do and this scarf is the perfect example of that.

If you’re a Burberry fan and have been so for some time, you recognize this scarf. It must be 6-8yrs old by now. When the plaid Burberry scarf first became popular (mainstream popular), I received the classic camel color as one of my birthday gifts from mom. I lived in that scarf. About 10 months later I purchased myself the same scarf but in soft pink.

By the next winter season, this trend had exploded so much I couldn’t look at the scarf anymore. Did I think about tossing both pieces? Most certainly. Did I actually do it? No way. I simply folded them up and put them on the bottom of the scarf pile. They had a nice long rest but have come back out to play now.

After spotting a pair of Gucci leather studded gloves at Saks Fifth Avenue one evening, I had the DIY itch.

It’s rare that I wear a helmet when biking around the city, but if I do, I do it in a monogrammed helmet.

When you find a stunning piece, the problem isn’t whether to buy it or not…but more so how will I style it.

Case and point with this beautiful piece.

The photos nor the model did justice to this skirt online (no offense). The photos didn’t display just how rich the color was. As well, it was styled with a top that has ruffles and takes the eye away from what should be the focal point. A wide scale piece on top, paired with a voluminous bottom, not ideal (in my opinion). That is unless, you’re going for the traditional Mexican Fiesta dress look.

So, how do I style it? I ran a few different looks through my mind. All sweet, all cute. However when I stood in front of the mirror, the looks left me feeling less than enthused. Back to the closet, flicking through the hangers with intent and there she was, my strapless peplum. I really didn’t need to try it on, but I did, just for fun. Through my eyes, this was the only way to go.

I believe that, if there’s a piece hanging in your closet for over a year and you haven’t removed tags, toss it. So happy I don’t always practice what I preach.

I purchased this dress well over a year ago. I picked it up because I loved the strong color and accent zipper. So why did I allow it to hang there for so long? I really don’t have a good answer for you.

So a few weeks ago, we decided to have a girls night out. (Though one person brought their husband, there’s always one that can’t be alone). We gathered at The NoMad Hotel, in the Elephant Room. In knowing just how dark this bar is, there was no way I was going to wear black. For some reason, on this particular night, I opened my closet doors and this dress seemed to jump in to my hands.

What was once old, is now new again.
