In preparation for the cruise I dragged Brian to the Domain to shop for dresses. I tried Banana, Ann Taylor, and Macys… nothing. Walking back, Brian saw White House Black Market and asked why I didn’t go inside. I was frustrated and desperate so I walked in. I expected it to be a display of how regular stores just won’t work. Instead, I found myself taking a really cute skirt off the rack. The next thing I knew I was in the dressing area with the skirt, a blouse, cork heels, a belt, and an adorable jacket. I had picked out the skirt but the sales girl took that and put together a whole outfit for me. It took a few tries but she found me some fantastic things.I left with the skirt, the top, and the belt. Now I can’t wait to go back.
This is the skirt. It has gorgeous silver embroidery at the bottom and a wide elastic waist. The photo shows it with the waist worn low but it looks just as good with the waist pulled up higher. It’s totally versatile since it’s elastic and it’s wide. It can be worn either way. The first top she gave me had an elastic bottom that she thought I could bunch. It was a little too long for me to bunch effectively. The sales girl quickly found me this top. It’s long, but its fitted so it begs to be tucked in. It was so adorable tucked into the skirt, but it’s just as cute worn outside of a pair of jeans. She originally tried a really wide belt, but it was too much for my tiny figure. She brought back a cute little belt that I loved.
Finally the jacket. You’ll notice that I didn’t buy the jacket. But I did dream of it, pined over it, and obsessed about it until they sent me a coupon in the mail a few days later. That’s all I needed to go get it. The fantastic thing about the jacket is it doesn’t, inherently, have a waist. It has clips up the entire front and you just clip it where you want the waist to be.
