And, it worked out pretty well.
I got this dress years ago, from the Kate Moss for TopShop Collection. I love it - despite the fact that it is polyester (it is the only 100% poly thing I own). I'm pretty much anti-polyester. The stuff makes me itch, and it is terrible to wear in warm weather.
But for this dress, and it's lovely print...I forgave the polyester.
The jacket is Levis, the shoes are vintage, and the wood heart necklace was a souvenier gift from Mario, from when we visited the Redwood National Park. It is made from redwood resin/bark- from fallen pieces of the trees.

Oh no kitten!
ReplyDeleteAs long as she doesn't chew the clothes, right?
We had a strange kitty visitor today. Just showed up in the yard this morning, and I went over and said hello, and it followed me back to the porch, and didn't leave. At 10 pm I still heard it meowing. It looked taken care of, but didn't seem to want to go home. Chloe was in a state all day.
Lovely dress!
ReplyDeleteI don't like polyester too, but when I find a vintage dress or blouse with a lovely print, it's often made of poly and I can't resist.

the dress is so pretty! gosh I wish we had a Topshop closer...I visited one in London last yr and they had the barbara hulanicki stuff, it was so pretty, but so expensive.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a pretty dress! In thrift stores i'm always drawn to the slightly weird polyester dress rack and i have to try hard not to buy them, as i never end up wearing them!
ReplyDeleteThank you all : )
ReplyDeleteEli- I bought this dress in London, I do wish there was a west coast topshop but NYC gets all the shops. This dress was a splurge but a lot less tha the other kate moss stuffs :)
Lyddie-poor chloe! I can't wait until we get a puppy , but she or he will have to learn to like cats.
Ena and Kathy- it is hard. I have the worst time at thrift shops because so many poly dresses have amazing prints. I usually get them if they are a blend of poly and cotton. but that is rare it seems.
