I was in lovely Cork this weekend and spent quite a while drooling at the Brown Thomas window on Patrick St which held all manner of beauties, from woven wire and cashmere striped jumpers to tweed jackets and peter pan lace dresses. The most striking item in the window was a very simple Moschino shift dress ($850 on net-a-porter.com) with a black print of the Eiffel tower on a white background with dinky little black cap sleeves. Simple and classic and perfect with black tights and the ankle boots I just bought on Ebay...I am so happy the weather is colder and I can get back into my black tights!
But the price tag is crazy for something so simple so I went a-hunting for something else simple and striking.......came across these, some not affordable but nice to look at!

I know these are summer dresses and that summer is now officially over but I'm just gonna wear my little dresses with tights and wooly cardies and clunky boots. It's nice to mix silk with chunky knit and chunky leather boots. Wonderful not have to worry about my pasty legs anymore! They will be hidden away from view til next May at least!
I saw this in the Dublin BTs when I was shopping with my mom the other day. They also have possibly THE most awesome shirt ever that hopefully this link will take you to; http://www.moschinoboutique.com/navigation.asp?tskay=10622DDC#/item/cod10/38217430NE/c/405/gender/D/season/main
ReplyDeleteI fell in love straight away! I also saw that first shift dress you show which is awesome. Quite similar to a dress I bought in Zara recently mind you. I know mine's not as nice as the moschino one but the price tag's a lot nicer!

Thanks Aoife, that shirt is amazing! It's a piece of art and totally timeless, I love it. I can justify $300 for art! I also love your dress, it's simple but the design is clever and I love monochrome anything. Makes me feel all Audrey! I am watching your fishtail braid link at the mo, thanks for that!
