Audrey Hepburn

What is it with Audrey? It seems like every star they interview on the red carpet cites her as their fashion icon. I mean yeah, she looks SUPER classy in every photo I found on Google, but was that just great costume designers? Did she really have her own sense of style that was just miles and miles above the rest? I'm going to have to look into this one...

I may not know much yet about her style, but she has some great quotes attributed to her about earrings, sunglasses, and fashion... for example:

“My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses.” - Audrey Hepburn

Wausau Area Stores

So... since I wrote last I went to a few more consignment places...I'm trying to remember the order/what I got.

I checked out Prior Attire this past weekend (after I got my very first speeding ticket). It was a smaller store, and I tried on a few things but no hits. I will not likely return because the brands weren't that great. They did have a nice selection of wedding dresses, so maybe that concept will come in handy in 50 billion years... ha ha.

Today, I checked out Standing Ovations right downtown Wausau. Meh. Not impressed. I don't know if the Fox Cities consignment stores just spoiled me or if that is just a better area brandwise. I did buy a black shealth dress for half price or $115.30 total. Cute store, very nice owner...just clothing geared toward older women.

So next is Family Treasures...online it looks like a children's consignment store, but it's worth checking out. The owner of Standing Ovations actually recommended it to me.

Returning to the Fox Cities area soon to revisit Chic to Chic and The Ladies Room. Woo-hoo!!!
