This is my holiday "dress." (Center, coral.)
I've been lusting after Raquel Allegra for three or four years now.... ever since I saw one of her tie-dyed dresses in the window at the old Mohawk General Store. (Which was on Mohawk, incidentally.) That dress used to torment me. It was so well lit, and so gorgeously ACID GREEN, I could see it from my car every time I drove by.
So you'd better believe I snatched this one up when I found it at Wasteland last week. NWT, people!!
Did I just turn into one of those assholes who brags about her resale finds? Oh well.
p.s. The model seems to be rocking it with some sort of leggins (not to be confused with "legginGs") but I think I'll go with jeans. That shit is SHEER.
oh, that's GOOD. and very you.
ReplyDeleteI think those are extra long spats? I don't know. I'm confused.
ReplyDeleteKeep bragging about resale finds! You finally managed to convince me to go into Wasteland (years of post-traumatic-vintage-store-stress-syndrome had kept me away previously) and now I'm not looking back.
i tried to google "leggin" -- aren't those sort of like civil war chaps? -- but all i got were results for "legginGs"
DeleteWHOA. That is an incredibly cool dress. Well done!
ReplyDeletei call my mom when i find a particularly good bargain. i mean, i call her when i get hired and published and stuff like that as well, but sometimes i savor her pride re: the shopping most of all.
ReplyDeletehotskies.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see that on a real person, it makes absolutely no sense on the model with chaps who appears to be inexplicably weighed down by the diaphanous fabric.
ReplyDelete(which means: photo please.)
Deletei'll try for some sort of close-up. the fabric is actually not diaphanous, it's shredded t-shirt material.
Deletelove love love
ReplyDeleteI WANT THAT.
ReplyDeletedear. you turned into someone who brags about their score when you tweeted about it like, 3 times. xx
