Lust of the Week: Mara Hoffman Double Layer Asymmetrical Swing dress



There is something about draped, floaty, silhouettes that I love. The way it just flows over one's curves is gorgeous and that huge draped sleeve look where you basically have to wear something else underneath or an accent colored bra since everyone will be able to see clear to your ribs, just makes me swoon. Maybe it's the relaxed, yet fashionable vibe, or perhaps it's the way this silhouette has of making skinny people look skinnier, but I am a puddle of lust over this dress. Featuring cool jersey in a summery shade of ombre peach, this dress would look stunning if you have toned arms, calves, and the perfect delicate gold arm cuff! Argh, why did I have to spend all my shopping budget for the month already on shoes and sunglasses?!

I'm still a big fan of the ombre. This is making me think of heading to the beach wearing flimsy sandals. Love it!

I like that. One arm peeking out, the other hiding.

Gorgeous...but I couldn't justify the price, personally. It's like $300 I can live with but when it's pushing $400...makes me feel icky.

Good thing is it will probably go on sale by the time you're allowed to spend more money. Shopping budget is a great idea, maybe when I start online shopping again I can plan one out for myself....and actually stick to it.

Eh, not bloody likely.

love the color for summer and the gradient, but not crazy about the 1-shoulder
