Dear Confashion: Re-selling My Gowns



Q: I have many evening gowns that are in excellent condition, but I think its time for me to say goodbye..i get invited to many weddings so I have many evening gowns that I want to re-cycle i.e sell at a good price. Is there a place that I can do this?

Many thanks,
Dina al-Baijan

A: I have the same dilemma too! And honestly I'm not sure if there is such a place in Kuwait where it buys evening gowns at a good price. I know a place where you can donate them for charity. If you happen to know of such service, please do share in the comments sections. Thank you.

I know someone who sold her wedding dress after she got divorced but i am not sure where...

anyways why don't you girls try ChillPillBOx.com? She has a sale corner and i am already putting stuff up there for sale... i don't believe she ever sold an evening gown before but you could try and be the first? I have several evening dresses that go way back and i know that i won't be wearing them again! Some people do not mind if the dress was in a good condition or worn once...

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
