Bespoke Moo Moo

That's what I would call this particular item of clothing. I spotted it at Zara a few months ago and fell in love with it immediately. I have no idea what possessed me to buy it, but I'm glad I did. It's so comfy and appropriate for meeting-free work days. I'll probably wear it with a thin, black turtleneck and boots when it gets colder.

    Definitely a wise purchase, lady. It's highly romantic, and utterly gorgeous.

    It looks like a hidden treasure you find when you give it a chance in the fitting room. Excellent choice! :-)

    Sal, I'm so glad you think so, because I got some stares when I wore it ;).

    June, boots it is!

    Franco, a dark jacket is a great idea and it means I have to go shopping ;) !

    Mrs. r, you're so sweet! The best part about the dress is that it's so comfy!

    Terri, you're so right. I was doubtful when I first picked it off the rack, but after trying it on and realizing I didn't have to suck in my stomach while wearing it made it a winner!

    Hot Bot, mu'u mu'u is technically the correct term, but I choose to go with the slang version ;).

    Oh I love it! Especially the detail- it reminds me of ric-rac. It may be moo moo-ish, but it's an absolutely perfect moo moo and you pull it off well.

    I love the dress! I miss Zara a lot... Oh and re: The Fall, I totally rented it after that post you guys made. That's actually the new Manfriend and he made his costume after I made him watch it with me.

    I'm actually really surprised everyone likes the dress - yay!

    Octane guy, you're actually very observant! Lauren just added this feature yesterday. We have a total of four headers.

    Songy, I totally forgot about that! Too funny!

    In her twenties, yep! There's a Zara in Lenox. I hope they open up another location in midtown so I don't have to go to the mall to shop there!

    Jinah, that is too cool. And the costume is awesome!

    I take back all the terrible things I've said about moo moos. I think it's just an unfortunate word for an item of clothing not worn by cows.
