Puttin' on the Glitz

It first caught my eye this lunchtime at Zara in Pacific Place. Among the racks and racks of items on sale, it easily stood out - and for good reason. It was a dress full of glitz, and its glitz came from the hundreds of sequins sewed onto the bodice. At first glance, my immediate thought was: "Ate Bullet is definitely going to love this dress." And my second thought was: "I'm hungry..." So, I left Zara and proceeded to Triple Os.

The funny thing was, the dress was still on my mind the entire afternoon. It must've been the glitz that I couldn't forget. I even told Arnie about the dress and how it's haunting me, and that i'll probably end up buying it.

And tonight, I did.



It's a nice variation of the Little Black Dress - something that Ate Bullet definitely adores. (The long line of LBDs in her closet is testament to that.) The silhouette is very relaxed, which gives it a relaxed glamour feeling. Aside from the bodice, the sleeves and neck area are points of interest.



The embroidery reminds me of Galliano, particularly the one on Nicole Kidman's groundbreaking Oscar dress. This plus all the sparkle really makes this dress a stand out.

No wonder I couldn't forget about it.
