Perhaps the silk chiffon has a faint metallic gold topstitch that adds movement and gloss to the dress.  The handpainted silk textile of another turns a dress into a work of art the closer you get.  The intricacy of a raffia hand crochet clearly appears at a distance and up close.

Heart apparel for Valentine’s Day is too silly for the sophisticated stylish gal… except when it is fine European cocktail or unique couture.  Currently available for purchase at the OgoVintage store on ebay, here are two remarkable heart dresses to consider.

Sonia Trussardi Sepe bias cut heart dress will fit a range of small to medium sizes.

C. Randall Brooks vintage tulle confection, in pristine condition.  Embroidered hearts adorn the tulle, which is edged in ribbon.

You know it when you see it… inimitable style, that elusive quality that circumvents definition.  Style defies age and fashion trends.  Audrey Hepburn had it, muse to the great Givenchy. Iris Apfel’s unique style is celebrated and emulated, as she inspires young and old well into her 90s.   Style is the magical spark that draws you to a certain look or color or fabric or shape or embellishment or simply a certain something that you know you have just found it.

OgoVintage is a destination for all women of style, spanning eras, seasons, and the cyclical nature of trends.  Visit OgoVintage to let your personal sense of style run free.
