Heather Dubrow remembered to pack monogrammed “trip gifts” for Mexico, but she claims that she wasn’t able to be as organized about her accessories. In a recent Instagram post, The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member revealed a “fun fact” about the jewelry she wore during the Season 17 cast trip — and it involved some quick thinking.

To really appreciate Heather’s factoid, which we’ll get to in a moment, let’s take it back to RHOC Season 7. This marked Heather’s first season as a cast member, and she dressed in style for her reunion debut. (You can relive it all in the clip above.) 

For the 2012 sit-down, the champagne connoisseur wore a black cocktail dress with a floral print and lacy trim. Heather recently revisited the look, sharing a throwback photo of it on Instagram as she mused about her reunion style. “Can I just say I’ve only worn black to a reunion ONCE!!” she wrote. “That deserves a moment.” 

Though she didn’t wear a little black dress to any ensuing reunions, Heather did re-wear one element of the aforementioned outfit — and this all ties back to her look in Mexico.

In a recent Instagram Story, Heather shared a photo of herself on the Season 17 cast trip, wearing a vibrant dress by Chiara Boni La Petite Robe. The one-shoulder gown had an asymmetrical neckline with a cutout shoulder strap. It was covered in bright flowers befitting the tropical setting.

Heather paired the pretty dress with a slicked-back hairstyle and some bling that might look familiar. In the caption of her Instagram Story, the mother of four wrote: “Fun fact about this outfit — we had just moved into our rental and I didn’t know where anything was… so I pulled out whatever jewelry was on top. The earrings and bracelet [were] from the outfit I wore at the First Reunion.” 

She even shared photos of her throwback reunion style.

As for that rental, Heather and her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, have made lots of real-estate moves recently. Most notably,  the couple sold their storied Orange County abode, aka the Dubrow Chateau for a historic sum. 

Last October, Heather confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that she and Terry had sold their 22,000-square-foot mansion in Newport Beach, California, for $55 million. But as they sold one home, they bought another pad: “We just bought a cool penthouse in L.A., and sometimes the universe shows you the right direction,” she said. “Change is exciting!”
