It was hot this Saturday and I needed a look that would keep me cool and go from doing errands in SOHO to meeting friends in Tribeca for massages and dinner, then possibly hitting a party or a bar. Tall order for one outfit, but I pulled this dress from the back of my closet and was happy with the choice.
I remember buying this dress last summer - my first in New York - it was on major sale at Banana Republic. I think I paid $30 for it? I was here and excited that summer had arrived, and was already noticing that New Yorkers dress to stand out, not to blend in. This was my first dive into a bold pattern. I still like this dress. It's comfy and the pattern hides any bumps and bulges.
Worn with my Banana sandals ($79) and my Kate Spade bag ($495).
I am a closet case.
A terrible shopper who spent $15,000 last year on clothes that are just short of boring. I'm over it.
I'm starting this blog to re-learn how to shop. I want to spend way less money on way better clothes. Establish my own style. Kick my junkie-like addiction to Banana Republic basics.
I think there are a lot of women out there like me, who might enjoy reading this and get something out of it. The rest of you...feel free to point and laugh.
I actually think it would have more pop factor if it were a couple of inches shorter and with those sort of higher Greek soldier sandals - would give the Saturday even more sizzle.
