After my court appearances, however, I relax. Instead of riding the subway back to the train station, I walk. It's a four-mile hike running straight through SoHo, a neighborhood replete with wonderful clothing stores. SoHo has both posh and less-expensive boutiques.
Today, serendipity -- and a pretty window-display -- pulled me into Soho Girl where I squealed with excitement at beautiful dresses. They were all in my price range, averaging around $20. The designs are chic and unusual.
I snapped up three dresses which you'll soon see. Here's one of them, a strapless tube dress with high/low hem. It appeals to me and is perfect for the season since it's as light as a tissue.
Do you ever find nice clothes when you aren't looking for anything specific? My best finds seem to happen by chance.
Kinda funky! can't wait to see the rest of your finds :)
ReplyDeleteOooh love the colors and the hem. I always find the best stuff whenever I'm not looking that hard.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely and unusual colour mix! I'm still warming up to high/low hems, and knowing me, they'll be passe by the time I finally make the leap. :)

wow i need to go to Soho--what a great deal for such a fabulous dress!! You look amazing in it!
ReplyDeleteActually, the store is online too and there's a link to it in my post. Visit their online site!
DeleteYou look super cute in this dress ... great find. Look forward to seeing the other two.
ReplyDeleteNice dress - very unique, and the colors look good on you! It's great when you find something unexpected. You get that pull, knowing you can't leave the store without it!
ReplyDelete$20 dresses? I'd be all over that too. I love the colors and design of this one. Pretty necklace too!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this! The dress is so pretty, awesome colors and looks great on you. I love the necklace as well! I think I always have better luck when I'm not on a quest for something specific!
ReplyDeleteThis is really sweet on you, Ally. I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteAH! I love it! The colors make me pine for September, fall colors, but it is still warm out. I have a dress with this shape, the high-low dress. Kyle calls it a "mullet-dress".
ReplyDeletei love the watercolor print and colors here. that's what i noticed...when you have money and are LOOKING, you never find anything, but when you don't have money and aren't really looking, you see a lot of things you want! nice find!
ReplyDelete[oomph.]
I like these colors...
ReplyDeleteand I usually run into really nice clothes when I don't have any money.
whenever im looking for something i can never find it. thats why you should always buy a great dress even if you have nowhere to go in it just yet!
ReplyDeletegosh I wish I could wear dresses like that!!
ReplyDeleteHow envious am I that you get to stroll through Soho on a regular basis, such a neat neighbourhood! I love this dress, so pretty for summer. I'm like you, always find things when I'm not looking but if I go shopping with a list, it's rare I find what I need!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great dress, the colours and pattern are so unique. Strapless is always a favourite of mine and I've been wanting to try the hi low hemline for ages. Looking forward to seeing what else you bought.
ReplyDeleteThe palette at work in this summery frock is so very lovely (and looks terrific on you) - at once earthy and beachy, classic and modern, it will have me reaching for beige, brown and aqua to partner together in the near future for sure.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a joyful 4th of July, my dear friend!

I love the colours on this dress! And that you paired it with an unexpected orange necklace! Very mermaid-y (but that may be due to the fact I always associate that colour of teal with Ariel...)
ReplyDeleteHey, you look ready to go to th' Club! Let's go dancing, Ms. High-Low! Hot, hot, hot!
ReplyDeleteAir kisses,
Lynne
I'm not usually a fan of the extreme high-low thing, but this is too cute! I love the pattern...so summery. But girrrrrrrrl, why are you covering up those gorgeous legs! It's July! Show us your glorious gams! Haha :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, can't believe I missed this one. This dress is soooooo pretty. Love it so much. So light and breezy with amazing color.
ReplyDeletewhat a dress! I loved the colours and shape is perfect! Strapless dresses fits you co well. You have a charming neckline and shoulders for that
