At this point my new mannequin still doesn’t have a name and I feel really sorry for her.  Maybe I should call her Mutt or maybe Stray because if she were an animal and ran around free without a name that’s what we would call them….No Mutt & Stray doesn’t sound very STYLISH….  Ok back to my post….  I’ll tell you I was very happy and flattered that I found the white cotton Tory Burch top but I’m going to be honest with you about the Marc Bouwer brown rayon skirt, I literally pissed in my pants !  There I was honest with you….  I had never found a Marc Bouwer item before so this comes as a news flash “It’s historic”.  Anna Torv from Fringe wore his gown at the Emmys, Angelina worn one to the Oscars and the big O worn one of his gowns to host The Emmy’s.  He’s big really big.  As a child, Marc Bouwer was fascinated by the movies and the beautiful women of Hollywood.  Shortly after arriving in NYC, he met fashion legend Halston and you’re going to LOVE this…. What happens next may have been Marc’s own first Hollywood moment: “I think you got something, kid!” were Halston’s memorable words after seeing Marc’s portfolio.  Halston offered him a job and the young designer’s future began to unfold.  Under Halston, Marc refined his skills, becoming a master draper.  The Marc Bouwer Couture collection is cut and made by hand, one to two pieces at a time.  I have a huge love and fanfare for Halston so anytime I read a story about this fashion icon I’m all putty.  The white cotton Tory Burch top and Marc Bouwer skirt together give the feel of comfort and yet sophistication, which is always a winner, you can wear this to any casual event and stand out because people will notice the detailing.  If interested in any item on my blog please email for price, additional photos and measurements and be sure to check out The Thrifters Boutique.  Follow me daily on Twitter & Facebook and enjoy my YouTube videos on thrifting.  Toodles for now.  Daniel
