Scary Email – VELVET: THE FALL TREND | Heel Shields - Ultimate Shoe Care Protection For Drivers

When I saw this email, you know I got scared – I don’t know if this new trend is my velvet from before. (Reminds me of the commercials that say: “this is not your (fill in the blank – mother’s, grandmother’s, etc) _____________ velvet.” Or, if someone has really come up with a GOOD velvet.

Well, this is the lead picture and I have to admit – this is quite an outfit. This coat is a forest green velvet lined Crocodile Stamped Draped Robe by Giorgio Armani for a measly $10,000. And, the ruched panel forest green Giorgio Armani dress is a mere $4500. After looking at this outfit, I got excited – maybe the designers have been able to make velvet really wearable. So, I click on the picture and I am taken to the BG website to some designer selections displaying their velvet offerings for this season.
