There are times every now and then when I hit a shopping lull. I become bored, jaded and underwhelmed. My usual suspects just aren’t doing it for me:
- AG, Citizens of Humanity, James Jeans, Paige. Great, have them all. No more needed.
- James Perse, Rachel Pally, Ella Moss, Velvet jersey frenzy. Check.
- Marc Jacobs. Fun, but usually not the most practical, flattering or affordable.
- DVF prints and dresses. Her universally flattering wrap dresses make me look anorexic. No offense DVF, you have some great prints and cuts.
- Baby doll/pregnant shirts & dresses from H&M. Lovely, but I need classics!
Luckily I had the DKNY Fall 2006 collection & the Pure line to bring me back to sanity with wearable city staples. The runway show actually lacks some of the other pieces I found…an offbeat taffeta dark green skirt with an elastic black bow that would look perfect with a sweater, black tights, and chunky black heels, a couple sweaters and dresses with floral prints remniscent of some older marni collections, and a lovely black silk sleeveless shell with a silk tank underneath. It is exactly the kind of clothing that I need and am dying to stock my closet with. Very urban, but with a chic unfussy attitude. The kind of clothes that I can just throw on in the morning without having a nervous breakdown trying to match the odd assortment of pieces I own. And shockingly enough, the styling and quality are very reasonable for the price. A breath of fresh air considering how disgustingly overpriced everything else is getting. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, just go to Anthropologie.
