Brand Spanking New For Spring 2009
Well I don't care! I know it's the middle of winter but I'm thinking Spring! And I'm in a buying mood for some saucy and chic dresses. I started looking at the runway reports from last Fall for the current crop of women's clothes for the current season and while I'm interested to see what the front line is up to in the Spring of 2009, I'm pretty much dressing the way I want and feel this time around. And some of my favorite designers are cooperating by offering dresses, pants, shorts, tops and shoes that turn me on (and are also in with the fashion trends) and that's all that matters, isn't it? I'm in need of some cheer and warmth and I need this Spring and even I'm beginning to think a little of Summer too, so might as well start shopping and be ready for better weather. Sometimes, I'll order from a Spring Catalog and get caught by subsequent unavailability but that's a risk I'll have to take. I'm working my way through my favorites. Nordstrom's is still top of my list and I start with their via C collections which are the newer designers. I've been pretty lucky there and have felt, if not in the forefront, at least up-to-date.
Take a look at these for instance and tell me if you don't get excited. Dolce and Gabbana - what better? I spotted this dress right off the bat. Absolutely lovely. A black and white floral print Shantung Bustier Dress featuring an alluringly form-fitting bustier on top, beautifully balanced by a charming, smaller-scale floral print and subtly voluminous skirt. Back zip closure. Side pockets. Approx. length from shoulder: 39". Silk lining. It's listed by Nordstrom as item # 245387 and priced at $2,495. This is one to head for town in and a hot lunch date. No, sorry can't help you with that. I'm not a dating service! That's number one. Then try this on for size: Rag and Bone Modernist Stripe Minidress. The black and white graphic pattern covers a straight-cut, stretch-cotton dress designed with wider black stripes at the button placket and dropped waist. Front button half placket. Cotton/Lycra® spandex Item #249502 and in case the last price threw you for a loop this one's priced at $ 320. Well that's just a small sample but if you look at these, it'll whet your appetite and you'll be prepared to spend more time looking. Don't just look though, start buying and get ready for an exciting year.
