It's Friday and one of my goals was to get last Sunday's New York Times read so I'll be ready for next week.
The paper had a big fashion magazine this week and that in addition to my usual Sunday business, magazine sections and the daily Post resulted in a lot of subway reading.
So here it is Friday evening and I'm tearing through descriptions of shows, reviews of make-up and interviews with actresses and designers. For some reason if they put lipstick on a model they always use two colors and they each cost $18.
As I was turning the page I saw this dress. I'm afraid it's not very fashionable. It's not military, it's baggy, it's almost covering the knee. Just my kind of dress!
So I tore the page out and resolved to look up the web site when I got home, which I did.
I'm not going to say how much the dress costs, but it's way out of my league. The intersting part was the brand - Babette. Even though the dress is ridiciously priced I clicked to see where they sell them. Well, they sell them in Rockville at Kindred Spirits. A store in a strip mall with a Whole Foods, a Starbucks and a Container Store. Someplace I just ate dinner last weekend.
I think I must be an advertisers dream. Maybe if I'm back over there have a half-caff-skim-latte I'll drop in and see what I think about that dress.
