2 of the 3 items I have never heard of before but that didn’t stop me from buying them.  What I found charming about the first item, the white cotton Peroni top with rhinestone on the letters, was the obvious it said right there on the front “Italy”.  So I gathered this rhinestone studded tee up and thought to myself “what in the hell am I buying this for?”  I rationalized to myself that this top is cotton and is actually on the campy side of life.  Grant it I’m not a heavy drinker but I do like a good beer every now and then especially during the hot days of summer.  Peroni is just your classic Italian beer that is a staple in Italy, it’s like our Miller beer here in the USA.  Big ok….  Italians have always been into fashion and design imagine the highlights of the 80′s and you will picture an accompanying wardrobe of Italian fashion.  Armani jeans and crisp white t-shirts, the rhinestone explosions of Versace jackets or the ridiculous curves of a Dolce & Gabbana corset dress.  And then, a little later, in the 90′s the accompanying apparel to a decade of prosperity was glamorous Gucci silks and Pucci prints.  It was during these decades that the Italian fashion house seized control of the international fashion scene. I know I got way off course here but what I’m saying is that the Italian do everything with passion and STYLE.  I found this Butsina black cotton with spandex top, made in Paris, and again wasn’t aware of this label and Google provided me with little or absolutely no help at all.  So when it came for me to actually put these 2 tops with a bottom it was easy once I discovered this black silk long skirt by, again someone I have no idea who, Paul Alexander.  I love how it ties at the side and the length of the skirt, just fashionable and gorgeous. Both tops work excellent together with the long black silk skirt, one top looks campy while the other looks STYLISH.  2 excellent choices that can make 1 tasteful ensemble.  Speaking of Italy what better shoe than these Pucci flats made in Italy and would work magic.
