The Basement of the Bargains

I’ve been a fan of the incomparable Diane Von Furstenberg for a good many years. Her use of prints is legendary, her color choices impeccable, and her style eternal. It’s immediately recognizable, yet never entirely expected.

Take a look at this example:

This superfantastic silk/linen blend wrap is called ‘Fortuna’ and fortunate indeed is the woman who has it in her wardrobe. It comes in your choice of green (shown) or blue and measures a generous 28″ x 71″. It’s the perfect way to keep comfy on summer evenings, not to mention the perfect way to make a spectacular entrance!

Best of all, you can get that notice at a bargain basement price if you act now. The retail price is usually $200.00, but right now at Saks, it’s on sale for just $120.00!

All the pretty at just over half the price? Sign me up!

I’ve been a fan of Diane Von Furstenberg since I was a girl. I love her lines, her bold use of color and prints, and even her appearences on Project Runway. And so it is that I also love this gorgeous butterfly print silk jersey scarf I found at Bluefly.

The dimensions of 5″ x 70″ mean it can be used with equal ease around the throat or the waist. The colorful print in chocolate, orange, coral, yellow, turquoise, and white will go with a wide variety of blouses and solid-colored dresses, too. And it’s made of pure silk jersey, which I consider one of the most delightful fabrics available.

And of course it doesn’t hurt to find it at 40% off!

The retail price is $135.00, but Bluefly has it right now for only $81.00! I don’t know about you, but that’s one butterfly print I’d like to catch.
