No, this is not a post on losing your virginity.
The last week or so I have been determined to buy a new summer dress, as a gift to myself for a recent personal accomplishment. I’ve been to all the usual haunts: Anthropologie, BCBG Max Azria, Zara, and some upscale boutiques that I normally only go to solely for browsing/research purposes (but this is a splurge, and I’m willing to spend). Of course, I am always gushing over the clothing in these stores, but as soon as I decide I am looking for something particular (well, I sort of have an idea of what I want–a shirtdress or something else that I can wear to work, okay, I guess that makes it a “practical splurge”), nothing really captures my attention.
Right concept, but too plain… and I try not to wear white. It needs to at least be ivory.
Too wild. I love Nanette Lepore, and I have leopard bedsheets, but I don’t think combining the two is neccesarily such a good idea (and I don’t wear leopard, I sleep on it).
In love with it and might even splurge for it, but definitely cannot wear it to work.
And I know I posted this yesterday, but…
Tried it on at a boutique in a size too big (they didn’t have my size, and a salesgirl insisted I try it because since it is a wrap dress, I could just wrap it tighter–um, no). And too expensive, though if it goes on sale, it’s mine.
Perhaps I become more picky when I am in “buy not browse” mode, but as I think of some of my favorite purchases, the items that I cherish for years and don’t get bored with after a single season, they are pieces that I was not neccesarily looking for, but just happened upon. So I’ll save my money, and wait until I stumble upon IT.
