Covetworthy

It’s not about the price of the dress. When you amortize (yes, children, that does say amortize) the cost over number of wears, that’s when you get the real value. And while I’ve used this formula many times to justify purchases in a price range way north of reasonable, it is with particular joy that I can do so with an item that needs no such vindication.

I have happily happened upon the Rachel Rachel Roy collection. I Besot You. Really.

Well done, Miss Roy, well done.

Let me describe what I love about the line: I’m thinking of every little cute dress / funky top / distressed pair of jeans / boyfriend blazer / jumpsuit / studded piece / younameit I’m feeling this fall.  Now I’m thinking of it available in sizes beyond 0, 2, 4. Now I’m thinking of it for less than HALF what I imagined. And finally I’m thinking, where the hell’s my Visa?

I find a new favorite every time I look at the site – and since most of the pieces aren’t available for another month, looking’s all I can do for now. Come October and the falling leaves, I want to ROCK this Transfourmer Coat in all four of its glorious manifestations – long coat, cropped jacket, cropped vest, long vest. And there’s a cross front LBD that also does double duty. I envision myself swathed in it by day with gladiators and aviators, by night with studs and Sergio Rossis.
