Making excuses.
You know how some women know they are in relationships with sucky men, but they keep making the lamest excuses? Like, “I know he never calls when he says he will, and he can’t seem to remember that I’m deathly allergic to shellfish, and he insulted my mother at my father’s funeral, but … but … he likes puppies! He can’t be a monster.” That’s a little bit how I feel about this dress from Temperley London.
I mean, I know those sleeves are hideous, and it’s got sequins and metallic I-wanna-be-Napoleon embroidery on a dress clearly intended for daytime wear, and it’s freakin’ $1835 (!) at Saks (click on the picture if you don’t believe me) for RAYON/ACETATE but … it’s not really showing to its best advantage on a model this thin, and … it’s got pockets! and … this silhouette (with shorter, narrower sleeves) is the one that’s on my mind for fall. Vee-neck, midriff band, fullish skirt …
Okay, okay. I know this dress isn’t perfect. but it’s trying! It *wants* to be a better dress. It just needs a good woman to believe in it.
