...though, as Juliet would probably have admitted, the sadness is mitigated when you come by what could be deemed as a "steal". As I mentioned yesterday, the fact that my favorite local store was closing was riddling me with guilt...and a vulture like urge to pick the remains...
An emotion that others must have shared as the pickings weren't plentiful. I did, however, manage to check an item off my mental wish list when I stumbled across this dress from Paris based designers, Surface to Air. I've been on the lookout for a denim dress for a while now...but I didn't want one that screamed "denim"...just a dress with interesting design details that happened to have been made out of denim. In this instance, the details are off-kilter sophistication on the front (as Mr. Heb said, "it looks like a dressy nurse's uniform)...while on the rear, the raw seams that I'd usually associate with Japanese denim have morphed into a very decorative embellishment. The best part...and the reason I'm calling it a steal...is that its price tag had been satisfyingly scribbled upon with reductions and counter reductions...until it reached the final sum of $46.
I thought it was more like "sexy air hostess" than "dressy nurse," though either of course works exceedingly well for me.
BTW- Do you live in the US? All these months I thought you were a Scot living in England.
In person, the details really stand out...especially on the back...making it a really unique dress. I'd say that it's a little boxy but not overwhelmingly so.
This probably won't lurk long in my closet before I wear it...I'll post a picture as soon as I do so you can see it "in real life".
...oh, and I am a Scot...who's lived in France and England in the past...currently lurking in the US
