What Should I Wear?

The invitation comes, whatever the occasion might be– a wedding and reception, a charity function, an art gallery opening and the list goes on…  The question becomes, “What should I wear?”  We are all guilty of getting invited to an event and fretting about what to wear.  Do we think the perfect outfit will make us feel like a better version of ourself?  The truth is, it’s not the clothes, it’s the feeling that comes from owning a look.  A new outfit makes us walk taller, feel proud and project a certain confidence and beauty.  No one demonstrated this point better than Marilyn Monroe and Lucille Ball. After all, it’s not what you’re wearing, but how you wear it — the confidence that comes from owning your own particular style.  Whether you’re wearing a favorite designer or a burlap sack, own it!

Why is Marilyn dressed like this?

As the story goes, this 1951 portrait session is something that resulted after a journalist called Marilyn “cheap” for her sexy fashion choices.  Someone suggested she might look better in a potato sack or burlap bag so…

Next came the idea to photograph Marilyn in exactly that — the burlap potato sack.  Not a surprise, Marilyn managed to make this Idaho potato sack look…well…amazing and sexy!.

My Favorite Havana Faux Burlap Table Linens

Havana faux burlap tablecloths are 100% Spun Polyester. Excellent quality, machine washable and durable. The Havana Faux burlap began three years ago available in natural (golden brown, Khaki) and white to resemble Burlap and provide a rustic appearance without the disadvantages of Burlap (not washable, not durable, rough texture, shedding, wrinkles and odor). Havana Faux is 100% Spun Polyester, very soft to the touch and drapes beautifully. Excellent quality, easy care, machine washable, no lint and durable. A completely authentic Burlap appearance and even more of a stylish look and finish with no natural imperfections which are found in the Jute burlap. Due to many request not only for more Faux Burlap colors but consumers wanting this lovely table linen line in other colors, we added 13 additional colors in May 2015. All 15 colors are now in stock. There are many cheap imitation Faux Burlap with being sold on the web. The Havana Faux is the top of the line, well known and the favorite among Wedding Professionals, Event Planners and the hospitality industry.

I am so happy I discovered Havana Faux Burlap Table Linens from Premier Table Linens.  I enjoy using the linens for most all of our family gatherings and events.  I own both the original colors –natural and white.  It’s nice to use all the same color for a monotone look or to mix them for some contrast.
