"Hello Lovers"
In honor of our newest capsule collection "& Just Like That; An Inéviv Fashion Love Story" we had to start our very first blog post with a quote from the IT GIRL herself, the reason & inspiration for the title of this blog, Carrie Bradshaw...

Here we are in Season 2 of And Just Like That and the first episode titled Met Cute was a big one, the girls are going to the Met! Now if you don't know the Met Gala aka "Fashions Biggest Night Out" is the fashion event of events, it's where all of the fashionistas, trendsetter, rule breakers go & if you're a lover of fashion you are dying for an invite... for the girls to be going you just have to know they were going to be serving looks. Now we absolutely loved Lisa Todd Wexley's custom Valentino look but today we are gonna talk about Carrie.
With nothing to wear Carrie remembers her Vivian Westwood wedding gown, the gown that Big left her at the alter in & makes a decision to wear that under her cape... talk about a repurposed look & I are here for it. I remember hearing things like:
Never wear white after Labor Day
You can't wear white shoes all year
Neutral colors are processional
Never mix patterns
Sequin, metallics & glitter are only for the evening
Never wear socks with open toe shoes
Dress your age
Don't mix silver and gold
Statement pieces can only be worn once
and it always bothered me growing up, I couldn't wait until I was old enough to not have to listen to anyone's fashion rules because there are no rules in fashion, it's your way to express yourself without words.
Let me get back on track lol, so Carrie repurposed her wedding dress... y'all remember when buying a dress, suit or something for a specific event, wearing it for a few hours then it sits and collects dust because you don't know what to do with it or where to wear it again? I know I do, one thing about me & the pieces carried at Inéviv, we want you to get your money worth out of your wardrobe. The idea is to give you fashions that you can wear any & everywhere, that you can get creative with and wear to the park, work or out!
Take that skirt make it a dress, turn your pants into sleeve, stretched collar on your tshirt no problem, wear it off one shouldern Take that gown, add a belt, top or jacket... pin it up to show some leg and crest a whole new look. Pair a tulle, velvet or sequin bottom with your blazer or favorite graphic tee and enjoy a day on the town! Leave the days behind where you buy something, wear it once & leave it to collect dust. Clothes are meant to be seen not hidden in your closet, so wear it and wear it proudly!
Last but not least, I'd like to officially welcome you to Inéviv's Blog, where we will talk fashion, never bashing, a safe space to share and curate convos to educate & enhance our love for fashion...
ohhhhhh, this is really the last lastly, we at Inéviv want to hear from you, if you've heard these or any other outdated fashion advice I'd love to hear from you... leave your outdated advice in the comments.
Xoxo
