There is an Anthropologie right next door to my office. Need I even tell you how dangerous this is? Need I mention the sales? I passed the display window yesterday (as one does when one has to run the gauntlet of fashion to get to their job) and did a double take for this white eyelet dress, an item that will never make the sale rack:


Eyelet has not been even remotely attractive to me since I redecorated my bedroom at the age of 10, but I love the way it softens this mod-inspired minidress. At first glance I began accessorizing: red heels in the evening or over jeans during the day. Sandals and a big bag for the weekend. I love the versatility - even if it's a shade that would attract red wine its first day out. I went back to gaze at it yesterday afternoon. I look forward to looking at it again this morning. I clearly need a life.
