Dress #1 was a black strapless cocktail dress that felt like it was entirely made out of cheap, crinkly black garbage bags. It was the kind of thing that looks okay on the display but makes you say, "ew!" when you touch it. There's a lot of weird detailing that you can't really see in the photos, but it's all about being as unflattering as possible:

It fit okay, I guess, but felt so gross I couldn't wait to take it off.
Dress #2 was adorable on the hanger - a perfect little spring eyelet dress with a bright red patent belt. I tried it on and it didn't look bad:


Finally, we have Dress #3. Maybe I'm just dumb but I didn't get it. It was basically a shapeless polyester sack with an extra swag of material attached for no reason:


Huh. Well, maybe you could wear it like this:

Or be very dramatic when making theatrical gestures:

Or just shrug it off, hang it up and give it sheepishly back to the lady with your plastic 3 items card. Yeah, maybe that.
first off...how did I miss you at work yesterday? at least you avoided the Liberty of London launch on Sunday. It was the worst feeding frenzy I've seen. I was HOMICIDAL.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea for a blog!
I'm not a fan of the parachute pant material either, but for some strange reason, I like that pukey yellow dress. the red & white one is the most popular one. and how about wearing the sash on the red dress BETWEEN your legs! I think that would be hilarious! we've had many discussions about that one...stoopid retail.
cheers!
Tere, this was at the Southside Target closer to my house. And now I wish I'd tried the dress with the cloth between my legs! Duh! It's all so obvious now.
