Ivanka Trump recently visited India with her father and for her second trip to India, the business lady opted for a floral dress that she wore before for her Argentina trip. The fashion critics were really impressed with her style of dressing and the way she reused her clothes. She teamed her floral white and red dress with red pumps and some beautiful stamen earrings this time. Ivanka wore the same dress that costed around Rs 1.7 lakhs In Argentina and paired it with a pair of baby blue suede pumps.
Ivanka’s decision to recycling and reusing her clothes impressed a lot of people and was being praised by one and all as most public figures do not tend to repeat their clothes. But there are still a few celebrities who have changed this notion, like Meghan Markle and the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton are some of those few who consciously chose to repeat their clothes in order to make awareness amongst the people. Ivanka has set up a standard for the people who want to recycle their outfits and use them differently every time they wear it.
