dress

a balanced look

I always talk about balance when building an outfit.  The best way to put a look together is to put the feminine with the masculine.  I tend to take the frilly, girly look to heart – and even I have to remind myself that adding an edge or some cut looks to a flowy dress can really be fashion forward.  This dress I’m wearing is super light and soft, so I paired it with a navy, double breasted blazer.  I added the fedora for a little edge, and the little eyelet cropped top adds a little more softness (recently purchased from Brandy Melville on Granville).  The two tone infinity scarf is also from Brandy Melville, fedora and dress are from Plenty, blazer is from Anthropologie 2 years ago.

hunting for the perfect one

Ladies, I get it, you search high and low.  You have an image in your head of what it should be like, and sometimes you tell yourself you won’t settle for anything less, and other times you think “this will do” but in your heart you know that when you find the real thing, you should just stop looking.  If you think I’m referring to men, you don’t know me at all!  I’m not talking about wedding dresses either, because I have an odd feeling that when that big day comes I won’t be wearing white, but rather a designer gown that I watched walk down a couture runway ;)  So here’s my find, and its definitely the ONE, because it makes me feel giddy and happy, and like running through a field of daisies haha.  My search for the perfect party dress has come to an abrupt stop at this Tibi Baroque Print Dress.

 

The colours of this dress, the quality of craftsmanship, and the silhouette are all reasons that I would justify the $500 price tag.  It reminds me of an old New York housewife’s vintage Hermes scarf, and I just love it so much.  How long can I commit?  Well we’ll see about that, because friends there are so many other fish in the sea, and you can go shop Tibi to find your one and only, get there fast before I swoop in and steal your true love from right under your indecisive nose! Happy HUNTING!!! ;)
