I love the outfit idea in this set. The shoes in particular are on my “want it” list. I love how the snakeskin contrasts with the green suede.
I think the outfit built around this shoe is a great outfit. I love the green silk sleeveless trapeze top. Apparently so did a lot of other people because the top is sold out. The shorts are cute. The bag looks pretty good for $28.
Love this outfit idea. It features a Roberto Cavalli multicolor animal print silk skirt and a Tara Jarmon Caramel Silk Top With Tie (orange silk stretch),.
This is a great outfit. The top is actually sold out. It was $400.
The skirt looks like it was marked down from $625 to $312.
The shoes are GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI Black Satin Booties With Back Zip. Looks like those were marked down from $800 to $612.
The Alexander McQueen leather carryall was $957. It appears to be sold out.
I want this Vanessa Bruno 100% silk Coral Polka Dot Dress. It’s gorgeous.
I actually had to view the dress up close to see the polka dots. You can’t really see the polka dots in the picture in the set. I couldn’t anyway. Once I zoomed in then I could see that it was indeed a polka dot dress. I love the color of the dress and how soft it looks. I can only imagine it must feel as soft as it looks being made of 100% silk.
Here’s another yellow Emilio Pucci dress. It’s 100% silk. It’s a gorgeous dress but not in my affordability price range at $5,145.
By comparison to the The $13″ 815 yellow Emilio Pucci Beaded mesh dress I suppose you could call this dress cheap? I wonder if there will ever come a day when I will look at a price like $5 145 attached to a dress and think to myself that it’s nothing? I’m sure to wealthy celebs $5,145 for a dress is nothing.
I saw this red orange and pink floral lace dress on polyvore and decided to create a set with it. I like the dress. I think in the right size it would be a good style even if you’re visibly pregnant.
The shoes and bag I picked might not be the best choices for the dress but I like how bright and colorful they make the set. The dress is $690. The shoes are $60. They are from JustFab.
The $103 Au Contraire Hinge Bangle/bracelet is from katespade.com. The $100 Big Buddha Skye tote bag is from zappos.com
I was looking for silk dresses and came across this yellow Emilio Pucci Beaded mesh dress. It’s a great looking dress but whoa on the price tag.
I’m guessing if you can afford that dress you’re not living at my level on the socio-economic ladder. The dress is said to be made of mesh and to be heavily beaded. The silk part appears to be the bodice lining. This kind of purchase is nothing for mega rich women. Life’s unfair isn’t it. If I could get my hand on $13″,815 right now I’d feel like I’d just won a multi-million dollar lottery jackpot/
Love this outfit idea. The set features a green silk sleeveless dress by Vanessa Bruno and green peep toe platform strap sandals by Elie Saab. Combined the dress and shoes cost $1240. The suggested jacket is a white cotton blazer from Piazza Sempione. It comes with an $895 price tag.
I have to say quite honestly I find it difficult to understand why clothing and shoes should ever cost more than some major household appliances.
I guess the point is they aren’t for you if you can’t afford them; and if you can afford them then the price tag probably doesn’t make your eyes pop the way it does for someone who has no money.
Like I said in the post before this I absolutely love the beach.
This green Melissa Odabash Martinique twisted bandeau bikini and this mint multicolor printed silk chiffon caftan would be great for my beach vacations.
Right now I live pretty close to the gulf shore so I don’t necessarily have to take vacations. I could go to the beach any random day. It’s only a 2 hour drive.
Pretty soon though I will not have the convenience of living so close to the gulf. Once I move” if I go to the beach any time before moving back to the gulf I will have to stay at a hotel for a couple of days or rent a beach house.
I love the bag featured in this set. It’s a $40 straw satchel from Kelly & Katie. I like the shoes as well.
Items in set: Matthew Williamson silk tunic / J.Crew high waisted bikini / J.Crew bandeau bikini / Thong sandals / Beach tote / Oliver Peoples / Jade Mountain St. Lucia Where All Rooms Have Infinity Pools / Mimosa Brunch Invitations
Who doesn’t love the beach? Okay so I’m sure there are people who don’t love the beach; but I love the beach.
I was just at the beach last week and I might go again some time in June maybe; but after that unless my financial situation changes I won’t be going to be beach for a while. Right now it’s cheap to go because the gulf is just a 2 hour drive away.
Come August I’ll no longer be just a 2 hour drive away from the Gulf and going to the beach will mean taking a vacation that involves several hours of travel beach house or hotel suite rental and all that jazz.
Here’s my latest Polyvore set creation featuring a red Angel Sanchez one shoulder dress and Jimmy Choo Linda Platform Suede Leather Sandals.
This outfit is not something I can afford in reality. To get everything in the set it would cost $6597. The dress is $1665. The shoes are $695. The clutch is $995. The earrings are $1,187. The necklace is $1079. The bracelet is $696 and the perfume is $280. If you wanted the throw in the urn with the wild roses ($229) that would up the total cost to $6826.
Saw Anne Hathaway in a long black maxi dress and was inspired to put a set together on polyvore featuring a long black maxi dress and flat sandals.
I love the sandals I selected for the set. They are Isabel Marant Merry flat leather sandals. They cost $325. The bag is from lordandtaylor.com. It’s their Big Buddha Hailey Hobo Bag. It costs $90. The dress is a MALENE BIRGER Hagans jersey maxi dress. The price of the dress is $215. The Chain-Link Bangle Set is $6.50 from forever21.com and the necklace is an 18 karat gold plated necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane. It’s $185.
Anne Hataway’s outfit (view on daily mail),
The outfit below would run you up a total of $5043.
Throw in the perfume and the total goes up to $5217. The MISSONI ‘Candy’ knit dress with tiered ruffles is $2″ 150. The Yves Saint Laurent Purefly gold-tone necklace is $1410. The Gianvito Rossi Pointed Toe Pumps are $520. The Gucci 1973 leather shoulder bag is $850. The MORRA DESIGNS Grad 2 Disc Earrings are $95. The Gold Pieces Metal Cuff is $18. The Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile Eau de Parfum is $174.
What I would want to get of the items in the set if I could get any one item I wanted would be the Yves Saint Laurent Purefly gold-tone necklace. Although I can’t help but wonder what “gold-tone” means as related to a $1410 necklace.
Just came across this outfit idea and love the blend of the yellow and green. You might not immediately think to match yellow with green but green has yellow in it so they would seem to go together when you consider that. You get green by mixing yellow with blue.
The Dolce & Gabbana yellow ruffle silk chiffon blouse looks so soft and silky” which probably makes sense when you consider that it’s 100% silk.
This dress is just delightfully cute. I absolutely love it. Oh if only the cost was $2.48. I actually have $2.48 on my bank account so I would then be able to afford it. Bet if the same exact dress was only $2.48 people would assume there was something inferior about it and not buy it.
I can’t help but wonder though” $4 558? And that’s a mark down it appears from $9 115. Part of the dress is 100% silk but still….
I wear skirt dresses a lot. In my case they weren’t made to be skirt dresses. They were made to be skirts and I just end up pulling them all the way up and wearing them like dresses. Even so there’s something about seeing something that looks like a skirt being sold as a dress.
Update 2022:
This post is 11 years old as of this writing. The originally posted images are missing and cannot be found. The featured image above is not from the dress in question. Have no idea what the dress in question ($6230 pink sheer lace Valentino Strapless A-line dress) looks like. Couldn’t find anything on the web that might be the same dress. Sorry about that. These below images of pink Valentino dresses are being added so the page isn’t filled with broken images. The original images of the $6230 dress were stored on the long defunct Polyvore website that used to exist
This cute “barrel line” short sleeve mini dress comes with a $4500 price tag. It’s from the VALENTINO PINK PP COLLECTION of super bright hot pink apparel.
Here’s another dress from the collection
This one comes with a $7500 price tag and is described as being composed of 100% Ostrich Feather outer, Turkey Feather 100%, Virgin Wool 65%, Silk 35% with a lining composition of: Viscose 91%, Spandex/Elastane 9%
About the PP Colorway Colleciton, it is described thusly (source of quote):
Valentino’s AW22 collection is characterised by a Pink PP colourway – a hue created in collaboration with Pantone that’s described as a ‘manifestation of the unconscious and a liberation from the need for realism.’ This minidress is introduced in the signature shade and trimmed with tonal feathers along the neckline.
Apparently, each Pink PP item comes with a certificate of authenticity…
From original 2012 post:
I do like the dress. I love the color and the lace. I don’t know how comfortable it would be as the description says there is a boned and underwired corset concealed somewhere in there. I’m inclined to think there was an error in the description.
Here’s a gorgeous set that uses the dress as a skirt.
Everything in the set is super expensive. The dress like the title says is $6,230. The shoes are an $895 pair of Valentino Couture Lace Platform d’Orsay pumps. The bag is also from Valentino. It’s $2 595. It’s made of 75% Lambskin 10% Acetate 10% Calf-skin leather. The top is a Blush sheer lace Valentino appliqued blouse that costs $3,285.
Who would think pink and green go together?
I like the suggestion of green shoes with this pink dress from Mango; and the light blue denim top goes nicely with it as well.
The whole outfit in the set is $141 minus the bag.
The bag is a $428 MARC BY MARC JACOBS ‘Ozzie – Aurora’ Satchel.
The dress is only $34.99. I’d love to get it; but” yeah you guessed it. I don’t have $34.99 to spend on a dress.
Clothing of any kind goes under frivolous and unnecessary spending at the moment.
Ok so let’s talk about this Balmain embellished wool-blend jacket.
When an item of clothing costs that kind of money how can you not want it? It’s an interesting jacket. I actually quite like it. There are some nice sets that were created with it. Like the one in Modcloth Upwardly Mobile Satchel in Red and the one below.
But who can afford this jacket except someone who has a bank account with a few million in it? If someone gave you $7″ 733 and gave you a choice between buying this Balmain embellished wool-blend bejewelled jacket and going on a shopping spree at I don’t know let’s say Target just for kicks which would you choose?
How gorgeous is this bag from Modcloth. I’m not surprised it’s sold out. It looks almost as good as the high end stuff but was only $135.
The red is so deep and rich and the quality of the bag just looks supreme.
Even though it only costs $135 this bag would still be out of budget for me sad to say.
By comparison to $1 253 $135 is nothing but it’s still way more than I can afford for a handbag. Yeah I know. I keep repeating the point about not being able to afford stuff over and over and you’re sick of hearing it already.
This is a genuine leather bag and it comes in a variety of other colors such as brown green and navy yellow neon orange and neon pink:
I love this blend of blue yellow and red. Love and want the dress. It’s a $365 Ted Baker HAYLEA pleated maxi dress.
The shoes I already mentioned in Modcloth Color Process pink orange blue yellow print scarf where I used them in one of my sets. They are $840 so you know it’ll be a cold day in hell before I can afford them. They are the Yves Saint Laurent Tribute high heel patent sandals.
They are red textured patent leather. The heels of these shoes are 5.5 inches.
Don’t think I can walk in 5.5 inch heels even if there’s a supporting 1.5 inch platform which I suppose makes the 5.5 inch heel feel more like 4 inches. I struggle with 3 inch heels.
Just to have these shoes to look at and enjoy the prettiness of the red textured patent leather I’d probably still buy them if I was a rich lady for whom $840 was like $8.40 for a poor girl.
This Tribute sandal comes in a variety of other colors.
The bag would be nice to have as well but at $1,253 it’s a wee bit out of budget. I also love and want the hat; but it’s also too expensive at $300. Even the belt is a little pricey at $95.
This Roger Vivier red suede flap-over shoulder bag is sold out so I wouldn’t be able to get it even if I could afford it.
Reality: I can’t afford this bag so even if it wasn’t sold out all I would have of it is my desire to obtain it some day if I was ever so fortunate financially to be able to afford to pay $2,256 for a handbag.
Bag features convertible chain handles which can double as a shoulder strap.
Red suede bag with gold accents.
