Which means that my purchases thus far have been limited to what I could find...and what I could afford. Which is where things stood, until...I was wandering through the Gap (yes, I fell prey to their latest advertising campaign and had to take a look)...and came across...a black plaid dress which had a very Marant vibe, for a very un-Marant price tag. Just at the time of year when I didn't really need a thin, cotton dress...but at just the time where I could rationalize the purchase with the thought of all the layering possibilities that it offered.

Also in store, although the picture does not do it justice, a skirt which was very similar (in cut and fabric) to one of Marant's from a collection or two ago. Sadly, on me, the skirt had some "issues" but (as they say) "one out of two ain't bad".

That's a nice Gap spot....very Marant-ish indeed...
ReplyDeleteI was looking for the Gap dress last weekend and could not find it. How is the fit? Are you happy with it?
ReplyDeleteposter girl - it's over-sized, but not in a "help me, I'm drowning" kind of way...if you order your normal size you should be fine. As far as length, I'm 5'11" and the hem hits a couple of inches above the knee. Personally, I love it...the pictures on Gap's website are horrific...it's a very cool dress in a very nice fabric.
ReplyDeleteWhile normally I look to the Gap as my go-to-pants store, I got one look at Julia Restoin-Roitfeld in the short-sleeve peacoat, and I just had to have it. Fortunately, it's amazing, and I've already put it to good use.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a fan of the Perfect Trouser--not sure if it really earns the name, but it's pretty damn close.
I really like both of those for you. Too bad the skirt isn't working. The dress seems right on.
