I opened the Resort 2010 e-mail from Bergdorf Goodman a couple days ago and have been drooling over my keyboard since. Finally: bright colors, shorter hemlines, and the hope of sunshine to come.
(As I type, it's 19°F, with a "feels like" of 1°F. It's snowed twice today. Thanks, Boston!)
This little suit has me swooning (and drooling): puff sleeves, check; big, oversized buttons, check; Italian craftsmanship, check. I love short (and 3/4 length) sleeves because I can skip a trip to the tailor!
(And, you know Readers, that's what's really important when you're buying an "investment piece," too-- it is of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE that your clothes fit your body. Rarely will anything fit you just "off the rack," so if you don't have a tailor, I suggest you skip your other "New Years Resolutions" and find one. Find a good one. Not just some cheap-o. I can't tell you all the countless times I've seen my peers in ill-fitting garments, whether it's pants too short, sleeves too long, hemline on a skirt in an awkward place..cringe. First and lasting impressions mean an awful lot.
So the rule you have learned and shall commit to memory: even when you're purchasing quality, make sure you take it to the next step and get it altered to fit your body, if needbe.)
Ok, go grab a tissue or a bib because you're about to drool with me!
