remixing fashion and luxury for reality
It’s always a challenge to create a layered look without adding bulk or getting misaligned layers… so when designers provide the short-cuts for you.. one must take advantage of it. This Alexander Wang Vest Shirtdress pushes the envelope in terms of faux layers but he’s done a good job and I’m (almost) sold on it. I love the idea of a faux vest.. just not lovin the $481 price tag. Not quite sure if this piece really constitutes itself as a dress that can stand on its own as shown in the picture here… personally I think it would look nice over dirty denim pants or over my tuxedo striped velvet pants. I’m considering hard whether a belt would work here. Prob. not but something tells me this shirt might make me look a little short without a belt. Sigh. You tall girls can have it… can’t afford it anyway!

I love the get-up but the price tag hurts. This would look lovely with my most recent handbag indulgence, though.
