If you read this post last Thursday, you know that I’m slowly but surely (and certainly via the “hard way”) learning the value of the (ever-overused term) “investment piece.” However, finding pieces that are really truly here to stay is a tough thing to tackle pragmatically. When doing the investment calculus, can I really count on the idea that I’ll want to wear this in five or ten years? Also, if you follow me on instagram, you know that I just discovered literally the best burger on the face of the planet. with that kind of not-so-healthy deliciousness around the corner, is it realistic that I’ll even fit into said investment piece in five to ten years?
Enter timeless luxury knit dresses that will weather both my evolving sense of style and size. victory is ours.
Continuing my collaboration this month with [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1EPX5hb” target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”Nordstrom” elabel=”Nordstrom / St John Collection Brandpage” noninteraction=”true”]St. John[/glink], today I’m featuring three of my favorite dresses from their spectacular spring [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1EPX5hb” target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”Nordstrom” elabel=”Nordstrom / St John Collection Brandpage” noninteraction=”true”]collection[/glink]. As always with this brand, each dress manages to be simultaneously on trend, yet completely timeless. If you need more evidence, check out my post from two weeks ago that features additional pieces from the same collection—pieces that still have me in full swoon.
