BELLA Extravenganza

I am into a BELLA craze.

When I sold my purple BELLA bra belt set sometime ago, I didn't think that I would have regretted doing so. Afterall, there will always be new ones and my presumption is that the new is always better than old.

Quite contrary to what I believed, the recent BELLA collections did not quite catch my fancy. I pretty much still miss the old BELLA designs with lots of detailing work... I mean, if I had to pay a premium for BELLA, I would expect lots of details, not just loads and loads of fringe.

My BELLA craze started when I chanced upon an dark green presumably BELLA set. Well, I say "presumably" cause seller bought this 4 years ago and the BELLA logo is not there anymore... not surprising as the owner might have changed the lining within the 4 years of ownership. The details and the AB stones on the bra were eye-catching-- typically an old-BELLA.

So you could imagine my disappointment when seller sold it locally.

Since then, I have adopted a "buy first, talk later" attitude when I sees a BELLA up for sale.

In less than 2 weeks, I have 2 BELLAs sitting at home.

Purple velvet BELLA set. From Bhuz, used to be Alimah's collection and later sold to Jewelsdance and me finally.

Comes with many "parts"-- sleeves, neck piece and hair band.




Orange Purple BELLA. I was a little apprehensive at first cause the orange looks dull on the auction.

Glad, I didn't let it go.

While I am beaming at my BELLAs, I kinda realised that I have run out of costume closet space. LOL. Time to sell.
