I watched and watched this beauty at Anthropologie for months. When I first tried it on the zipper broke, and I slightly panicked for fear of having to have the attendant come and help me out of it, but after 10 minutes, I finally manged to wriggle out of it.
That put me off. For $358, the zipper should not be so cheap. Fast forward a couple of months later, and a couple of hundred dollars less, the dress is now my own. Of course I had to get the zipper fixed because all the dresses on the rack had broken zippers, so I just negotiated a better price, threw it in the cleaners and for $20 the zipper is new again. SCORE!
What I'm Wearing:
Dress: Mara Hoffman via Anthropologie
Orig.: $358.00
Paid: $130.00
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell
Necklaces: Juicy Couture, A Peace Treaty

Beautiful pictures...as always! You look amazing in it with your gorgeous figure. I like Anthropologie. However, I find it odd how they have great prices on tops but dresses are super expensive. Thank goodness for sales! :)

You're so good at finding bargains! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the dress - it's common that even top designers use shitty zips and things.. :/ Sucks though especially when YOU are paying for it!
You're rockin' that dress and JC's!

ReplyDeleteI loved this dress the moment I saw you wear it during one of our lunches. The tribal pattern really makes it one of a kind while the solid half gives it a lil polished look. You look wonderful as always. I can't wait to see what you wore for FNO since I missed out :(
