Weekly Shopping Update

Mariella Dress | Capri Espadrille Maise | Via Limoni Clara

I have once again grown discontent with my bag collection and recently purchased the Kate Spade Capri Espadrille Maise bag (among others, I promise to discuss each one in painstaking detail). And it is a purchase I would recommend to those who already have a collection of versatile handbags but are looking to advance beyond the remits and safety of  “classically” shaped bags.

A few recent Ann Taylor purchases; most of which did not work out but I want to share pictures with those of you who are around my size. I found the Diamond Cross Border Shift Dress to be quite oversized (order 1-2 sizes down from your normal size) and the shape somewhat unflattering on those with even a hint of boobs (even me, who is average busted at best).

I purchased the Lemon Drop Sundress to wear to an outdoor wedding this summer but am not convinced of the design. The print and fabric are both very summery but the drop waist looks a little awkward on my long-torsoed body.

And I overestimated my ability to metamorphose into the size of garments because I did not order the right size in this Tweed Short Sleeve Dress at all. Fabric and quality are just so-so.
