That page isn't on the blog any more and my lusting after a Kate Spade bag and a pair of super high Jimmy Choos has long gone. However the love of the classic wrap dress and retro prints of a DVF dress still remains.
From time to time i window shop at Matches Fashion and take in some of the DVF range and dream of wearing, what is to me, the epitome of all dresses.
£162.00 sale price from £325.00
The iconic wrap dress which originates from whence she first started back in the 1970's and then relaunched with the same cut of dress in 1997. Classic, timeless pieces.
The thing i love about a wrap dress is how beautifully flattering they are for every shape. I have owned quite a lot of wrap dresses in my time, from when i was a skinny 18 year old to now 10 years later with a lot bigger *ahem* curves. With a sales price tag of £162.00 i can not tell you how tempted i am to buy one of these beautiful pieces that would become the prized possession to me in the wardrobe department. It's just one of those dresses that would be a treat to me... a nod to myself as an adult. the pat on the back, the well done you've worked hard, you deserve this... ;-)
And while we're at it, if i had an unlimited pot of funds to spend, here's how i'd accessories the wrap dress:
Do you have a dream piece that you cyber stalk?

I love the puzzle dress, it is so super cute!
ReplyDeleteWrap dresses seem so easy - unfortunately I don't own one. Pretty dresses, I am a cyber stalkers of crazy jumpers xx
ReplyDeleteI can see why you're lusting over those dresses they are gorgeous! And so perfectly classic with a little twist in the print. I am currently been looking for some real leather boots instead of having to wear cheap boots made of chintzy material. But they are so expensive, so I totally understand your dilemma :)
ReplyDeletedvf can do no wrong in my eyes and yes....I cyber stalk a pair of alice & olivia pants EVERY day!!!

Hey Rachel, thanks for your super nice comment on my blog! :) It really means a lot to me.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is great and I really like your style! Glad that I found it.
Thanks for your comment over on my blog. I am loving dropping by today and seeing this post on wrap dresses. I am also a big fan and love DVF. I loved the children collaboration at Gap last year but it was all a bit too girly for my boy to pull off :( Rubbish!

ReplyDeleteMy Marc Jacobs bag is that item for me. I use it every day and adore it. It will always be special to be! I quite fancy some Westwood... X
