A Match Made at Bergdorf’s

Wednesday: peach satin Gucci slides

I think I’m in love! My green print silk dress has arrived, and it’s simply perfect. (The photo below simply doesn’t do it justice, and certainly not when it’s on the hanger.) It fits and moves so well; the drape is just right; everything about it is exactly how I wanted it to be. You know what? This could be habit-forming. Gulp. I’m going back to the studio this week to see some new spring/summer styles. Uh oh…

The good news, though, is that I also found the perfect shoes. And as it turns out they were right there in plain sight. I had seen these bronze Manolo Blahnik d’Orsay pumps on the Neimans site but ruled them out as not metallic enough or strappy enough. I’ll admit it. I was wrong. I spent a long lunch hour at Bergdorf’s on my quest for the perfect shoe, and lo and behold! There they were, and in person they were just right! (I also totally see them with jeans or… what else, my summer whites!)

The one problem? I had originally ordered it for a wedding I’m attending in September, but please, do you really think I can wait that long? I just have to make sure wherever I wear the dress now, there’s no overlap in social circles. I figure as long as no one at the wedding sees it, I’m safe… right?! I know, I know, no one’s supposed to be paying attention to what I’m wearing at a wedding. It’s all about the bride. And yet… it’s the bride who has the least to worry about. No matter what she wears she’s a star. The rest of us have to work! Unless, of course, we’re pre-ordained to wear matching bridesmaid dresses. Uh, I’ll take the angst of free will, please.
