Halter Hotties Halter Top Dilemma


Hmmm... I find myself with a halter top dilemma, Lavender or Bronze...  Bronze or Lavender? Every once in a while I come across one of these long skinny scarves, so popular in the Eighties, too pretty to pass up.  I haven't had any great ideas for them until this morning!  A solid color silk halter top using the scarf as a side neck tie could be really stunning.

The dilemma:  I have two gorgeous pieces of silk charmeuse, one in Lavender & one in Bronze. Both are the right size and both compliment the scarf, beautifully.

Anyone want to help choose?

Halter Hotties says "Thanks!" to Facebook Friends

I don't know if this will help...I am not creative enough to come up with a name but....when I look at it I get a kind of "70's suburban housewife / neighborhood summer pool party / BBQ / cocktail " vibe. It seems like it should go with a pair of pedal pushers (remember when they were called that) and high heels.

Thanks Jen, That does help!! Alot. Mrs. Brady just came to mind, might be a little too bright for her, though. But good direction! thanks!

I do like Afternoon Delight.... and that is a nice halter as well ;)

My first thought was: Penelope. Absolutely no connection to the top, just in my silly head. Go with Afternoon delight... sky rockets in flight... ooooo ooooo ooooo........

Name That Halter Top !


Anyone up for... "Name That Halter Top"? My brain is just not up to snuff, today. I'd been really looking forward to working with this gorgeous 70's scarf for a while. But boy, I just struggled thru it trying different silk colors & halter styles... It just fought me all the way & now I have no brain to name it with! Anyone?

Halter Top Honeymoon: "Graffiti Girl" Goes to Puerto Rico

Hi Kim,

Well, I’m back from the most perfect, beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to! Lucky it was my own! …I am also sending you two pictures of me in the Halter Hottie (also taken with an iPhone). The pictures aren’t great because we took them fairly quickly before we left PR (I had forgotten to do it the day I actually wore it which was the morning after the wedding). But I really love it and will wear it more as the weather in New York gets warmer! I felt so sexy in it! Thank you for everything! I love your work!

Take care.
Joey

Halter Hotties: Halter Top Sparklin' in the Moonlight with Billie


"Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what's more than enough." ~Billie Holiday

The best time to meet Billie is somewhere in your mid to late 20's. You've said "yes" to a billion more things than you should have… And I'm not talkin' the multi-tasking, offering to cook for the neighborhood get-together, fitting in play-dates and hosting the next family reunion kind of things…. I'm talkin' the fun, probably shouldn't have, 'can't believe I'm still alive' kind of "things" you do in your 20's! Somewhere in all those things, you said "Yes" to someone who not just broke your heart, but mashed it into a thousand tiny, unmendable pieces. That's the time, the perfect time, to meet Billie Holiday.

She'll let you know she's been there, too. She'll unite her soul with yours and pull you though the tortured nights and into the moonlight.

What a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
Till a little moonbeam comes peepin' through
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do to you
