The Ivalde Challenge

Recently I was challenged  by Beulah Mills of Ivalde to incorporate their designs into my every day fashions and show that Ivalde isn’t just vintage. I was definitely up for it. I’ve always admired not only Ivalde’s design, but Neferia Abels’ attention to detail and quality.

I have a few pieces of her collection in my closet and when I want to go simple and sexy, I find myself reaching for her Marilyn Wiggle dress in black. I know I can’t wrong. I also love her 70s clothes and am a big fan of the Kita suede coat from that decade.

The other night had me leisurely strolling through Ivalde looking for something special, something fierce. I laid my eyes on Svala. This outfit is a soft-knitted ivory tube top with a flirty lace hemline and an optional lepoard-spotted belt. This tops a pair of soft wool tweed shorts (available in long & short). The shorts have a great detail of a puffy prim cuff that really adds interest to the overall look.

I’ve kept the look simple with a new scarf in sepia from Maiterya. A pair of fuschia-colored wool knee socks and gold Stiletto Moody pumps add brighteness and color to the look. I’m one of those girls who usually only wear once piece of substantial jewelry. Here I’ve got on a great modern gold cuff from plus glam.

Do yourself a favor and stop in at Ivalde. Stretch your imagination and realize that vintage can be included in your daily look! I’ll be doing more of the same.
