Grande Dame

Whenever I wear this fur-collared sweater, I feel like some sort of grande dame. I wouldn’t mind modeling myself after Madame Adelaide Bonfamille of The Aristocats, spending my golden years dressed to the nines and providing for the street cats of Paris.

Sweater, vintage. Another sweater (underneath), Ann Taylor Loft. Skirt, Talbot’s (thrifted). Tights, Target. Peeptoes, BCBGeneration. Earrings, Ali’s Boutique. Bag, Franco Sarto.


I paired my old lady sweater with my old lady skirt and my old lady bag. My tights and shoes, though, are a nod to my (fictional) burlesque youth in Gay Paree.
