What We Want…

October 19, 2011 The Beat, Yummy

agent provocateur thora dressWe’re the opposite of “shopaholic,” those ravenous Sex-and-the-City women whose sense of self-worth is derived from the momentary pleasure of a designer handbag or pair of shoes. In fact, women like that downright creep us out. But every so often we come across something so stunning that it deserves a second glance, a further inspection, and a bit of hard-earned want. So now we’ll do a little sharing.

Gray is really no one’s color, a shade disappointingly forgettable given its stunning parents Black and White. But pop it onto a curve-hugging silhouette with a sweetheart neckline and salacious red lining and it becomes positively exotic. We love this “Thora” dress from Agent Provocateur because it’s the picture of decorum…until you turn around.

We’re far more into experiences than things and can’t see ourselves following through, but perhaps if we’re in the neighborhood we might stop in for a fitting…no harm in a little tease?
