contemporarian librarian (in love)
I first saw this dress, unnamed and unloved, in January when the lovely Lisa tried it on with a bunch of other gorgeous dresses. Even in a blurry photo (actually, I love this photo and I find it so evocative of mystery...)I could tell from the sketchy checks and unusual earth-tone palette that it could be for me...I stalked it until it finally appeared on the Anthropologie site, and it just got more and more beautiful to me. I loved the wide-shouldered look, and fitted waist, and simple drape to the skirt, the decorative back looked like it might be troublesome but it was a nice detail. I waited as more reviews rolled in, but it still wasn't clear what size I should take (I can't make returns, so things better fit first time around!)
