In my dreams!

Clear.20C

OK, I really should be drafting the introduction and re-writing another part for my class project but what could be more tempting than surfing on the net for beautiful dresses and dreaming myself looking gorgeous in them?

I'd say fashion blogs are evil... no, I mean the internet is evil.

Anyway, a few picks that I think I'll look good in... in another life. (ok, in my dreams then. sigh)

1. Bottega Veneta Smocked silk dress

The website labeled it as a "Runaway Look". I'd say it's the "make me broke look". Why? Because it's £1,621.28!!! Even though now it has a 40% discount, it still costs a handsome £972.77!

Nonetheless, it's sexy, it's elegant, it's killing.


2. Derek Lam Kimono Bow Tie Dress

Love that purple! The dress' cutting is simple, yet chic and hip. But it would need slender arms and legs to go with it. i.e. not my dress. OK, I'll wear it in my dreams.

How much is it? Yup, it's a whooping US$1,690.

3. Bottega Veneta Bustle detail dress

So, I have been trying very hard to find *my* LBD, but, of course, all efforts have been in vain. And yet again, even when I've found something close to my ideal LBD, I was too slow in owning it. This one is so popular that it is no longer available on the NAP site. Never mind, it doesn't quite fit in my criteria anyway, because it's beyond my budget - $1,390!

Sorry, I'm speaking in USD.

4. Chloe Strapless pleated gown

Let's take a break from the boring black and tough chic style, and return to a bit of femininity. This divine-looking, flowing dress requires, again, a slender body, a flat tummy (as always), slim arms, a decent height (i.e. 5'9"+ ??), and undoubtedly, balanced-looking collar bones! By that, I mean the person wearing it cannot be so skinny that her collar bones look as if they are about to protrude.

Honestly, I love the style, but not the colour. But then you can't make it too pale, or it'll look like pjs; and too dark will hide the details and dull the dress. Anyway, why should I trouble myself over such question? It's a dress of US$2,708! (OK, it US$6,770, so it's already 60% off. *Yeah!!* It's a *real* bargain!!) I can't afford it anyway...

5. Moschino Ruffle detail dress

OK, I lie. I can't help going back to black dresses. But this one is feminine. Look! It's got ruffles on the back! Yet, it still looks chic and stylish. It's a bit like #2 up there, isn't it? It's must be because of the deep-V, which somehow seems to be still in season. But the fabric is very different - this one is a lot softer. And the back is different, too.

Sigh, £829.79. [I've accidentally opened it on the UK site and the price tag changed to £975. WTH?!]

OK, enough for me to weep myself into sleep. The harsh reality has dawned clearly on me that these are the dresses that I will never look good in. *weep* *weep*
