If it's on the wall, it's a tapestry. If it's on the floor, it's a rug. If it's wrapped around someone, it's a...dress?!

So, in an example of highly effective advertising, a Nordstrom ad for dresses caught my eye; in particularly, this gorgeous dress;

It just looks like Spring, so sweet and pretty. And only $156 (US) - practically the same in $AUS, the dollar is so high...

This one makes me wish for warmer weather, but at $425, it's not as tempting as the above.

I'm not sure, however, if some of them were meant to look like they were wearing tapestries:

This one's kind of cute, but still has the 'I could hang this on my wall instead - instant art!' look.

A further click around the site revealed that their day dresses leave much to be desired. This, for example, looks like a nightie, something Wendy might have worn to Neverland.


This just looks like a pinafore - as in, school uniform - but admittedly has potential. The colour is appealing. Maybe Carrie could get away with it...in heels, of course.



I like this one; it's simple but chic. Makes a nice LBD, but it would be more summery in another colour, say a bright shade of yellow.



And also...would anyone actually wear this to homecoming or prom...or ever?!

It could be nice, I suppose, if it didn't look like she was wearing a jungle.

Speaking of dresses...I'm on the prowl for a sweater dress, because I agree with the Clothes Horse that dresses are "more comfortable and easy than jeans and such a simple piece to throw on;" They're fun, and pretty, and girly, but tend to be spring/summer wear. The sweater dress, however, is a solution to this.

You can wear them with boots, heels, or flats, and with or without a jacket and tights. So versatile, practical and so stylish! Any suggestions as to where I should start looking?
