4 Monday Lundi Week 14
Coco Chanel once said, “Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.” A coat missing three buttons doth a shabby dresser make.
I found gorgeous buttons that didn’t go with my coat. In fact, I have NOTHING that would go with these buttons, but I considered buying the buttons, then finding the coat. Or just buying the buttons and framing them along with the original pretty packaging.
In the end, I found a set of eighteen vintage jewels to replace all the buttons on my coat, and I spent the evening sewing them on with Cole Porter playing in the background. I felt like a glitterati of the fashion industry. I might have to re-button all my coats.
