By popular demand…and because I love you enough to be photographed without makeup…here are some quick pictures of the Best Dress Ever (aka T by Alexander Wang Asymmetrical dress) I posted earlier:
wearing: T by Alexander Wang dress | Thrifted jacket | Madewell necklace | Robert Clergerie Shoes
Convinced yet? I prefer it without a belt because I just love the way it hangs. And like I mentioned before the Modal/spandex blend is heavier and WAY less cling-y than jersey (this doesn’t cling at all – anyway, I think it runs big, I’m wearing a medium) and just drapes beautifully. And the color. TDF.
And how do you like one of my very first thrifted purchases EVER? I just got it back from the dry cleaner and they did a great job getting the stains out (LOL). I was toying with taking out the shoulder pads, but I don’t think I will now. Oh, and it’s from Petite Sophisticate, mid 80’s, I’m sure!!
i love this!! you are totally rocking the chic neutrals but the blazer is totally perfect to go with the creamy mocha dress. 🙂
It looks much better on you than the model! That is possibly the perfect outfit: dressy but not too dressy and stil casual.
thanks amy! i agree…it’s the perfect outfit.
Those shoes are sick! Love them. And, your glasses look adorable on you. have to say this is one of my favorite outfits.
LOVE! You look fabulous!
love, love, love it! getting it RIGHT now. omg, you are dangerous!
haha! sorry yael 🙂 but you will love it!!!!!!
well let me try to justify it;
at least i know my style now, what i’m comfortable in and my ‘uniform’ as you say. so i suspect i am actually SAVING money by not buying things i’ll never use and wear! ha! i did it!
Oh my that is positively the best dress ever. I have been reading your blog a few months now and this is my fave!!! I think there will be grechen clones around b/c I bet alot of us are getting that dress. You look so amazing!!!! (I just love vintage/thrift mixed with new things:)))
haha!! LMAO at “grechen clones”
thanks for your compliment 🙂
RIGHT on. it’s actually very true!! if this dress is YOU then it is 100% worth the splurge.
ok now that i got it, how do i wear it in colder weather?! i want the ‘noemie’ wang sandals SO bad that are shown with it! and they would look SO perfect with my various perse sweatpants…uh oh…
I’m loving how you put the jacket over it. Somehow,when I’ve tried that with my navy t-back maxi-dress, it just doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong? Too flowy? Do I need something shorter and more structured? Chime in if anyone has an idea on style and/or color!!
You look super duper tall and lovely in this dress! I have been coveting that Madewell necklace for a while too…and what? No clogs?
Yes, the shoulder pads need to stay! I love this entire look on you, much better than on the model…
ok just had to add, i got the dress at barney’s today AND the diego bag with rose gold studs! <3 <3
ah!! yay 🙂
which color diego? i do miss my diego sometimes, but it was heavy, and hard for me to get in and out of…LOVED the style though.
super daring me got the black. it’s my first so i thought i’d be loyal 🙂 it was such a hard decision between the rocco and diego, but i’m used to carrying a diaper bag on my shoulder as my ‘purse’ so now that i’m free of that and my daughter no longer needs it, i get a real purse!
You deserve to treat yourself, Yael!!! We mommies need to celebrate ourselves once in awhile and take care of the “caretaker”!!
no one ever told me that hoop earrings, lipstick, perfume and purses would have to go for the first almost 2 years of having a baby!! lol. the diego made up for all of it!
@yael I remember having many a hoop earring pulled out of my ear! (OUCH!!). Now’s YOUR time to feel your best. (and babies are all worth the wait!!)
