Designer Kathlin Argiro at Esprit de Noel

Saturday we checked out Esprit de Noel which was held on the Georgetown Visitation School campus.  This bazaar features boutique vendors from all over Washington selling their wares at a major discount.  Friend of the Punch and Visitation alum, Kathlin Argiro, was there with tons of her beautiful dress designs for sale.

While I was lucky to make it out of there with a few pieces for this season’s parties, my FAVORITE new item is her “Dressong”.  It’s basically at least 6 dresses in one.  Made of kind of a spandex-y/Lycra material and beautiful vibrant colors and patterns, a woman can wear these dresses/sarongs tied in various ways, which are VERY flattering and VERY sexy.  I knew I was planning on donning them while traveling this winter to warmer, fairer weather, but I was too excited to wait.  So, Saturday evening I created a little twist halter look, threw on a long black knit sweater and black pants and off I went.  It was daring, but it worked because I got tons of compliments and “Where did you get that?” of course, I directed them to Kathlin Argiro.com. 

Check out these versatile pieces in other press pieces:
