When she married a few months ago in the South of France, Keira Knightley wore a gorgeous couture Rodarte dress. Since the wedding, the actress has been spotted wearing the dress again at several events. It’s now calculated that she’s worn the dress three times. Wow, three times, like this is news? Dear reader, if you had invested in a beautiful dress from Rodarte wouldn’t you want to wear it over and over again? I would. There’s a reason fashionistas lined up for those ethereal looking Rodarte dresses when they were at Target. Plus the dress looks terrific on her and doesn’t look the least bit dated. I love how Keira keeps accessorizing the dress to keep it fresh.  For her wedding, she wore it with a Chanel jacket.  At her recent appearance for a charity event, she updated the dress with some beading around the neckline and décolletage, keeping the look simple.   Bravo Keira.  If you find something you love, then investing in it and updating it with various accessories is a smart way to go whether you are on the red carpet or going to your company holiday party.

With  wedding dress prices going up to thousands of dollars, it maybe a very sensible plan to buy a shorter, cocktail length wedding dress that you can wear a few times, don’t you think?
