Sheath Comes-Colors Dress Modcloth multi color block strapless sheath dress

Hello silence

I’ve tended to shy away from wearing bright bold colors all my life yet I love bright bold colors. I guess it’s because you tend to draw attention to yourself when you’re wearing bright bold colors and some people get self-conscious when other people are looking at them. Bright bold colors are probably for confident girls who treat every street hallway or whatever they are walking on like it’s a catwalk.

This scarf would go great with a nice pastel pink or pastel yellow summer dress” or something light and floral that has the colors from the scarf in it. It looks like it feels nice and soft but I can’t say as I don’t actually have the scarf. The material is 70% cotton and 30% silk. I could see wearing it with this dress:

I love and want the Yves Saint Laurent Tribute high heel patent sandals I used in the set for the Coral-ly Invited Dress but it’s probably some kind of fashion don’t to wear $840 shoes with a 58 dollar dress. I also love and want the MARC JACOBS Noho Quilting Coral Bag. The price tag on that is $595. The bracelet is a $495 CHLOE Papaya Holly Enamel Bangle.

Combined the shoes and dress cost $2″ 455. When you throw in the gorgeous blue Marc Jacobs Electric-blue quilted leather shoulder bag the price goes up to $3 513.

I know there are people who could get up this minute and go out shopping on a whim and spend $3 513 without batting an eyelash. If I could get my hands on $3500 right now it would be a serious windfall.

The necklace and bracelet are each $100 and available via amritasingh.com and the necklace is $300 available via tiffany.com

How cute is this dress? I’ts a $115 dress. Fabric is 100% polyester. I love the bright flowers on particular shade of green. You have so many options for the color of shoes you can wear with the dress. There are some nice ideas on Polyvore. These two are my favorite.

I really love the shoes in the above set. Looks like a lot of other people loved them too because they appear to be sold out.

The bag is also nice; but so super bright. It’s a $1,685 Dolce & Gabbana bag

I definitely want the bag in this second set. It’s gorgeous and only $455 by comparison to the Dolce Gabbana bag. Of course this bag is also sold out. Not that I would have been able to buy it if it was in stock.

Like I was saying before jackets are one item of clothing I don’t think you can have too many of and I would definitely have in my dream closet a wide variety of jackets.

This is a cropped fitted leopard print blazer. I like the outfit the model is wearing over all. I think it would look good with some nice black stiletto pumps.

Can you really ever have too many jackets? I don’t think so and the more options of colors and style you have the better. I got two leather jackets from Newport News last year when they had their Black Friday sale. I liked them both although I think I got them two sizes two big.

After you look at enough thousand dollar handbags you start to think that handbags are supposed to cost at least a thousand dollars to be worth buying.

This is one of the more expensive modcloth handbags I’ve seen. It’s $119 still not affordable for me but when compared to the $3 400 price tag on the  Bottega Venata Cervo Fire Orange Leather Woven Satchel I mentioned wanting earlier it’s pretty darn cheap.

It’s a gorgeous bag. It looks as opulent as any thousand dollar handbag. More details about the Upper Haight Shoulder Bag

The shoes in the featured set are also from modcloth. They are the Monarch Wingtip Heel lace-up shoes. They come with a $58 price tag.

Yeah well you can’t always get what you want right? This bag costs $3 400. But it was the first one that jumped out when I was looking at a page of handbags. It made me pause to look and it made me check it out. That’s how attraction works right? You’re not supposed to have any say in the matter. The attracting element is supposed to be in control pulling you into it without you working your mind to make yourself more magnetizable.

I’ve just discovered Reed Krakoff handbags. Gorgeous bags. Want pretty much all of them. This one is $1″ 440. I’ve always said that even if I had the money to afford thousand dollar designer handbags I wouldn’t spend that kind of money on a bag but I don’t know. It’s not that often I see handbags that evoke a “want it” response. Here’s the bag by itself.

I also love the dress in this set. It would be great to have in the kind of weather we’ve been experiencing so far in May. Would wear it with some nice flat sandals for my trip to the store later.

The Dress

Miu Miu dress

It’s a $357 Miu Miu Cotton-jersey and silk crepe de chine dress. The cotton part of the dress is 100% cotton and the silk part of the dress is 100% silk. The only thing I don’t love is that it would need to be dry cleaned but I guess if the day comes when I can afford a $357 dress trips to the dry cleaners won’t require riding two buses.

Unfortunately you can’t buy this dress online. Not that it matters to me because the dress is too expensive for my budget.

It’s not a bad price generally. It looks great and is probably worth the price but $290 is good for 18 dresses in my world.

I’m so poor that I was checking out the everything for $5.99 website the other day and put a couple of things in a shopping cart but couldn’t bring myself to pay for them because I knew it would be spending money I didn’t have.

I should be ashamed right? But I’m not. I mean. Life is what life is and these days I’m dead broke” but I’m not hopeless yet.

Kingdom will probably come before I will ever have the kind of money that allows me to spend $1″ 105 on a bag. I don’t think I’ve spent $1 105 on stuff like clothes shoes accessories and the like in 10 years; but I could be wrong. Maybe. Probably. 10 years is a pretty long time. Maybe I should say in 5 years.

Another way out of budget dress. I love how on the purchase page at net-a-porter it uses the word “invest”. These expensive designer dresses would indeed constitute investments” but I’m not sure as smart investments go these would qualify. It’s so easy to ruin a dress. So easy to get too fat to fit in your dress. It probably makes more sense to buy dresses you can afford to ruin or get too fat to fit into. Love Rihanna in the inset photo.

Long Empire Halter Dress (Get dress details),

I want this long blue empire halter dress from Newport News but the question is do they have bras that you can wear under a dress with this particular style. I definitely would need some support as I cannot carry a dress like that bra-less. I see even famous women that you’d imagine must have fashion stylists wearing very low cut dresses that they don’t have the right bosom shape or size to pull off attractively. Either their breasts are too big too close together hanging too low too full or not full enough. Low cut is not for every body type.
