so i got online to order some household items, but somehow started perusing the formal dresses on shopbop.com instead and the ones below really caught my eye. the first one is so interesting and unique - the model ends up looking like a mermaid almost! - and i absolutely love the color cream (or is it oatmeal?). i especially love the back view with the way that accordion piece flows. the second one is so simple and understated, with just the right amount of caaj-provocative. i love the flash of lace and you can never go wrong with black. oh, reem, you really nailed it!
now if only i could convince myself that i need to buy a $2,500 formal dress for something...my rule is that if i can't stop thinking about an item after a few weeks, then i must buy. it means that it must really be love and everyone knows you shouldn't deny yourself love, so i end up buying. i think that's a pretty good rule if you ask me (just don't ask my credit card bill...or my dad for that matter).
Kaelen
Reem Acra
the kaleen is well crafted. i love any dress shape that looks like the wearer nonchalantly wrapped a sheet around herself in the way it huggs the front but waterfalls out the back. jennifer garner wore a sheet-wrappy red gown at an event, and even it if it did not necessarily do anything for her sillouhette, i still found it dreamy.
ReplyDeletethe reem is well executed too! love how the top 3/4 is nearly impeccably structure and the bottom perfectly offsets it in a fluid pool of all the remaining fabric. well done, reem.
