i am moving next month- so umm…wednesday- and money is literally coming out of every end. $100 here, $600 there, $40 there. i mean, it is pretttyyyy insane!

so to combat my feelings of utter poverty, i decided to spend half an hour on net-a-porter compiling my second wishlist. remember how fun the shoe version was?

i used to be the most major of dress-wearers. and then one day i just packed them up and put on the pants. well, as the weather warms up i am in a sudden frock frenzy. NAP is the source for my fix.

1. when it comes to stripes, i am an absolute jailbird. i love that the michael kors slim sheath creates the illusion of a perfect hourglass figure, while the d&g fit&flare is so old hollywood off-set. i would pair either style with a sleek top-knot and a bright pink lip.
2. during my dress drought i have steered clear of almost anything girly. but i would go full-femme for these two styles. the off the shoulder carven is so “look at me i’m sandra dee,” and what girl didn’t want to be olivia newton-john? blame it on my preppy past, but i am having such a toile moment. the safari print and laser cuts on this carven piece give it some serious edge.
3. the following will not be a surprise. leather = mimi oxygen. it’s probably due to my obscene collection of vintage leather at a steal. well this a.wang and isabel marant are no steal but man are they obscenely good. the cutouts against that virginal white is perfect for a night of acting up. and studded red leather basically speaks for itself.
4. i have this weird thing where i sometimes wear long(ish) shirts as dresses. i even went so far as to rock a thrifted blazer as a dress only to quickly discover it was not. these styles fulfill that fantasy while actually being dresses- score! the simplicity of the shape on this margiela is combatted with a rich mustard hue and funky hem. the status-printed Mary Katrantzou would make me feel like the stylish younger wife a Miami drug lord. another one of those weird fantasies of mine.

never stop dreaming, y’all!
