going in circles
The boys are playing happily with Playdough, so I've been scouring the internets, pulling up page after page in search of The Dress.
My thoughts at this point are: I'm too picky. Sizes are random and pointless. I'm still drawn mostly to black dresses. I'm cheap-- so often the designs I like have big names, but I refuse to pay the big bucks.
Where do you shop? Jenny suggested Newport News (I liked this dress) and I've tried a few other sites that I stumbled across. I'm open to more ideas if you've got 'em!
What brands/designers do you like? I used to love almost everything by Max Studio, but lately it's hit-or-miss (though I LOVE this dress). BCBG and bebe usually have things I like, but the price tags are prohibitive. I'm drooling over this Nicole Miller (actual website), and am actually considering bidding on this vintage-style Nicole Miller dress on eBay. I kind of liked this Generra dress, too. My taste is too expensive.
Being tall makes it tough to find things that really fit, but beyond that, I'm just truly picky. I don't like most of what's out there, and what I do like is pricey. The end result is that I have very few things in my closet that I love, and I'm not sure I actually have anything at all that I feel good in. Now *that* is a whole self-image rant unto itself.
Help? Suggestions? Websites? Stores? Labels? Designers? Lotto numbers?
p.s. There seems to be a severe shortage of SLEEVES out there. I'm going to freeze. Even searching the sale pages for fall/winter clothes, I'm finding halter dresses, spaghetti straps, and topless ensembles. Um?
Really, I'm not obsessing over this. Much.
