I got a very sweet email the other day from a reader who inquired if I had ever thought about doing a post on how to build a wardrobe. Even though I'm not sure I'm qualified to do this, I think I'm going to attempt such a post in the next few days!
As I've been more and more sartorially inclined, I've realized the importance of neutral foundation pieces, such as a perfect grey dress.
A dress, oh, like this one from Anthro might have been:
if not for the enormous embroidery!
I love, love this dress, especially the top half. I love the cut, the color, the collar. But by the time we meander down to the base of the skirt, the piping-embroidery is out of control! I think it would be lovely in another context, but here I think it's just too much. My love for the dress is so strong, however, that I've really considered painstakingly removing all of that piping myself.
But then that seems crazy.
