Gah, horrible lighting strikes again! Sorry, you guys. In the interests of authenticity, I never photograph outfits ahead of time, which sometimes leads to this. Sad, sad, sad OOTD photos. By the time I was ready to go (to a fancy schmancy client event), it was way dark and I was stuck taking photos indoors.
Which is a real shame, because I had a really cute outfit. Another cocktail party, another old Target designer collab dress. This one is an Isaac Mizrahi, and it is divine. I hate the ubiquitous references to Audrey Hepburn, but I truly feel this dress deserves one. The neckline nails it, yes? Anyway, as with my Lela Rose for Target dress, this one is really nice quality all things considered. I really, really wish that Target would go back to making designer collabs this good.
Here’s an after-the-fact close-up of the accessories you can’t see. And here’s a look at the best part of the dress – the back:
You look fabulous!!
Thank you 🙂
You look divine, I love everything about this.
You are very sweet, thank you!
OMG, I love those shoes. They’re gorgeous!
Thanks 🙂 Almost as good as your Ferragamo find!
That is a lovely dress – you look fantastic! I love the demure front and the “daring” surprise in the back. Very modern Audrey.
Business in the front, party in the back, LOL!
Gorgeous! Love the back, especially. Did you manage to wear a bra with it ? I am guessing a strapless one would have shown…?
I did! I don’t know if this was design genius or fluke, but the envelope closure hit me right where my bra band is, and covered it perfectly. I can’t go bra-less (especially at a work function) and I hate those suction cup thingies. This is another reason why I love this dress.
Lovely! The open back is a nice surprise after the demure neckline at the front.
Thanks! I really love a boatneck neckline, even if it’s not the best on me.
