Pucci Forever!







Found fit to wear for all eternity, Marilyn Monroe was buried in her 60s green silk Emilio Pucci dress. I recently treated myself to a similar dress in pink, and it is indeed very comfortable to wear. The spanx pantyhose I'm wearing underneath it is another story however! Fortunately not all of Marilyn's beautiful Puccis followed her to the grave, and in fact many were auctioned at Christie's in 1999. The rack photograph (with several Pucci gowns shown) was taken prior to the auction of Marilyn's wardrobe. My dress is very similar to the one hanging on the far right, minus the exceptional provenance of course!!

60s Pucci pink silk dress, $120 ebay a few weeks ago
60s faux Pucci purse, $15 etsy last month
60s pink metallic stiletto heels, $30 ebay several years ago
60s cool ray sunglasses, thrifted a long time ago

      Thanks, it is a bit of a faux paw to wear head to toe vintage, but I love it so I don't care!!

    Yay for Pucci! You wear it very well.

    Hey, was just talking to someone about an upcoming SF event that needs vendors and I thought of you. Maybe next time you are in the shop I can pass on the info? Or else email the store and I send along the deets that way...
