Oh happy dress

I fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it on one of my favorite sites, www.tracyporter.com. It is vibrant, versatile and oh so happy. A must have for my upcoming bachelorette party in the Hamptons. A bonus - this dress goes well over pants for Spring / early Fall wear. I would buy this for $264, and if you’ve been reading my posts, you know that I am very particular about any clothing purchase over, say, $200. I’m not cheap, just particular. 

But today must be my lucky day. Within hours of spotting it on Tracy Porter, I receive an email notification that one of my DC friends has launched her store online. And what do I find for over $130 less…this happy little dress! Yipee! Wow - this is a rare price shopping moment.

My friend’s store is called Fornash. It is located in Georgetown (DC), but she carries a great selection on he website. Very cool accessories, such as these gold bamboo bracelets which would look great with the dress. (I’ve spotted her bold silk clutches in Novel)

 

Although I’ll be takin’ my business to Fornash this go around, I encourage readers to check out Tracy Porter. You might be more familiar with her ceramics designs (which are 50% off right now on the site), but I think she’s budding into a little lifestyle brand. I really enjoy her site. Lots of eye candy and videos discussing the products and a great blog.
