Back to Basics: Patterned Day Dress

back to basics: patterned day dress


I know that I've been switching things up on you in this "Wear it Wednesday"/"Back to Basics" thing. I apologize. It's just that I'm such a terrific cornball, that I have to obsess over holiday-themed dressing. Please forgive me. Cornballism is an incurable condition.

Having said that, I have a couple more "Back to Basics" lined up for you, before we transition back into the more flight of fanciful natured "Wear [Whatever!] Wednesday". Apparently, a patterned day dress is an 'basic' in any woman's wardrobe--so says Tim Gunn, anyway--and I am obsessed with this Kate Spade dress. Obsessed. Whimpering in Nordstrom, refusing to try it on because I can't afford or justify it, consoling myself with Nordstrom cafĂ© herbed fries obsessed.

But how could I not be? I mean, do you see this dress? It's perfect to dress up with sky-high pumps and neon accessories. It's a little ladies-who-lunch, who are also badass. It would also be perfect for running around on weekends paired with flats and a sweater. This dress would moer more than appropriate for family excursions to our favorite places (yes, those were plugs for our local library and two favorite museums).

Okay, Gunn, I believe you. This dress should absolutely become a staple in my wardrobe.
