Sloan grabbed this Christian Dior vintage suit size 4 because she absolutely loved the houndstooth Spring’ish colors and of course that it was DIOR.  Umie also loved it, saying “what the skirt needed was an update by shortening the hem”.   All this suit really is missing is that modern touch,  and taking this to a tailor for alterations would cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $30-50.  If I paid $10.00 for the suit, and paid to have it altered,  where in the world can you get a vintage Dior houndstooth suit for that price?  John Galliano first ever dress for Dior was a navy lace and crepe column for Diana, the Princess of Wales which she wore to the opening of Dior’s 50th anniversary exhibition at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.  John Galliano’s sophisticated combination of audacity, glamour and street style are perfectly matched to the Dior woman of the third millennium.  I found this Paramita pop artist inspired top size medium made in Spain and paid $1.00 for it.  Paramita is a Spanish brand collection that is both unique and individual.  Paramita offers a fantastic range of t-shirts and tops with co-ordinated bottoms to complement the range.  Paramita is a fresh new clothing line from Barcelona, Spain.  Their designs are very much like those of Custo Barcelona, you have heard that name before on my blog, very colorful, with unique pictures.  Taking a vintage piece and giving it a modern twist is the “greenest” form of being “green”.   Buying clothing from thrift stores is the best form of recycling and what better way to recycle than with DIOR?  Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter & Facebook.  Toodles for now.  Daniel
