Be assured, I'll wear it into the ground!
I got this shirt dress a couple of months ago at Club Monaco for $18.00 (on mega crazy sale plus 30% off plus 30% off things that were already on sale and 30% off). Originally it was $120.00. Of course, it's summer wear - hence the amazing discount - but, honestly, I couldn't wait till spring to premier it. This fucking winter has been so depressing and bundled. I feel the need to remind you all that I have upper arms...
I feel a little antipodean doing this crazy summer-like post!
The dress has actually got excellent drape, which isn't coming across fantastically in these shots and it's very curvy-girl slimming. With heels, as shown, or my red gladiator flats, it will go from work to play, day to night. And it's practically a Skye-style bargain.

I find my perception of cold is often a state of mind.
ReplyDeleteyou look marvelous.
$18 now that is a deal.. Voom Voom K-line... for some reason I just visioned you in this dress with Teal pumps.. I bought a dress just the other day.. great deal, black dress but more summer...
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! What a fantastic bargain, and a style that looks marvelous on you.
ReplyDeleteLovely deal!!! Good find and an amazing price. You look fantastically saucy in it. I say do red heels for extra sauce and sass.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bargain! That's the kind of thing I would get, then I'd do $100 of alterations to it. But it would still be $2 below the original cost ;-)
ReplyDeleteCareful when calling oneself antipodean. It can also mean bipolar!
ReplyDelete:)
Or perhaps that was your intent.
This dress was made for you.
ReplyDeleteCould you layer a t-neck or something under it to make it winter-wearable?
I have read some of your posts and would like to revisit.

What a lovely black dress!
ReplyDeleteCute dress. You'd be very sensibly dressed for the days here right now.
ReplyDeleteNice bum!
ReplyDeleteD. Thank you! State of mind - and neglecting to wear turtleneck :-)
ReplyDeleteGJ: Teal pumps. Oooh, sounds great. The ones I'm wearing are actually royal blue. So not far from your imagining!
Sal and Miss C: Thank you so much!
Bel: Oh, red shoes would be great!
Wendy: Hilarious! I won't do that. I've done it in the past and now I say, perfect for 18 bucks or I walk. Which is why this happens to me once in a blue moon :-)
Dave: I didn't know that!
E: That's a terrific suggestion. I just got this super skinny one (on sale from Club M, what a surprise!) so I'm going to try it and I'll let you know.
Thanks Monkey and Nadine!
Lavender: That's what I figured. I could use some of that weather right now.
Tanya: You always say the right thing! :-)
You have a great sense of style
ReplyDeleteGreat dress and extra great bargain - I'll have to get my bargain-hunting mojo on to compete!
ReplyDeleteShirt dresses are great though, since they never go out of style.
GT and ~h: Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteSkye: Ha. I notice you've been slacking lately :-) I know, the shirt dress is a forever staple. And this fabric (slim jersey) has really good drape.
What a steal, it looks fab too! You and Skye must be stealing all my good-bargain-finding-luck! ;)
ReplyDeleteMs. U: Don't blame me - I'm not half as good as Skye! Let's blame her altogether :-)
