Dressing Ann

My friend Ann had two events to dress for--a dinner for Living Beyond Breast Cancer where she was being honored, and the Action AIDS 25th anniversary celebration. She didn’t have anything in her closet to WOW ‘em and needed to shop. She trusted me to glam her up for both events.

I found a gorgeous black taffeta cocktail dress and matching evening coat at The Wardrobe Boutique for the dinner. She felt sleek and composed in the ensemble and saw it as a canvas for eye-catching accessories. In the Boutique’s designer room I found a pair of fabulous black Ralph Lauren pumps with a 3” heel that pulled the look together perfectly.

The invitation for the Action AIDS 25th anniversary celebration recommended “festive attire” which could be anything from a simple magenta feather boa to a studded patent leather suit. Back at the Boutique I found two options--a 1970s Superfly-inspired zebra-striped maxi coat, and a beautiful black velvet cami with a matching jacket sporting a maribou feather collar. She chose the black velvet.

Ann was thrilled to show her glamorous side. Check out the photos—see how she shines!
