10th Commandment: September 28

Sep 28, 2010

Elected Official

Thakoon Dolman Draped Dress (Shopbop, $1,355)

I tried hard to find items for today’s 10th Commandment.  I really did.  But once I saw this dress from Anna Wintour protege Thakoon, I was powerless to complete my task.

I’m smitten.  I’m starstruck.  And I’m unable to pollute this post with reasonable facsimiles of this dress, because no fiscally feasible frock could ever live up to the original.

Hopefully this blight is only temporary, and I’ll be back tomorrow with something that even an intern can afford.  But until then, I think I’ll just stare.

Look for Less

    Absolutely stunning! Exactly what I wish I were wearing on a dark and rainy day like today : )

    How much is it? Link?
    Gorgeous.

    Sorry guys, that was some critical information that I left out. Fixed.

  4. E says:

    Well, my dreams are crushed now. officially.
    That + rent = > my monthly paycheck. By a lot.
    Sigh…

    NECESSARY. Needs to be in my closet… totally can't afford though 🙁

  6. Ms. B says:

    The whole ensemble is a feast for the eyes.

  7. Page says:

    I generally like or love the pieces Belle posts here…but I have to say…this does nothing for me. Maybe it's the drapiness (is that a word?) of the fabric, or the weird “V” appearing to point at the crotch…but I have to say I'm not a fan. I tend to carry weight in my middle, so maybe I just can't see this style on me. In any case, at least this means I won't want to spend $1300 on a dress…

    Time for more sweater dresses?

  8. Sarah says:

    Yes!! Especially A-line sweater dresses in fun colors? (I have two very different black A-line sweater dresses… but don't think I can justify another black one.) Would love some recommendations!

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
