Ready, Set…
So the first real designer sales (Saks, Bergdorf’s, Neiman’s) begin this week. But am I ready?? In a word, um, no! I’ve been so obsessed with my new dressmaker that I honestly haven’t really been studying the season’s selections very well.
As I wrote last week, this is the time for the second tier of shopping: the stuff you didn’t want to buy at full price, and knew you could wait for the first markdown. This means you, Prada shoes and Missoni pieces. So what should I be calling my saleswoman (or rather my sister’s saleswoman at the Beverly Hills Saks) to ask her to hoover up?
Maybe these Prada linen wedges with passementerie detail. They’re neutral and could last all summer. And no, they’re not too similar to what I already have… I mean, not really.
I have to say I wasn’t bowled over by this season’s Missoni collection, but I do rather like this trumpet dress and coordinating cardi. I’ve always said I wasn’t the matchy-matchy type, but ever since I started going to this dressmaker, I’ve been a most devoted convert. Heavens, you must have a jacket for every dress — even better if the lining of said jacket was made of the same silk as the dress. Oh yes, that is the life.
Though separates are important too. This Marc Jacobs navy wrap skirt is something I have had my eye on for a while now.
Maybe I’ll finally get these Chloe silver python sandals!
And I never did give up on these Bottega Veneta kiltie slingbacks. My other pair are closed-toe — totally different!
Hmm… so maybe this round of shopping won’t be so difficult after all!
