Lanvin . I . Hate . You

... but only because I love you so much! Today I found EXACTLY what I want to wear to get married in. EXACTLY. I've lusted over beautiful wedding dresses before, but this is the first time I've said, "That is what I want to be married in."



It's perfect. It has little sleeves, it's got a slim silhouette, it's not too frou frou, and it has just enough detail to make it special.

It's actually a tiered skirt and top. While the top is a very manageable "I'd order you right now" $600, the skirt costs... wait for it... $3200.00. Big pouty, frowny face.

I've spent a good chunk of change before on a bag or a fur vest, but $3200 on a skirt just seems like, well, a lot. Le sigh...

    Hmmmm, do you think you could get the top and find a less expensive skirt somewhere?

    ^^ I wondered about that too. But then I also don't want to get stuck with a $600 top if I can't find another skirt.

    Maybe I'll win the lottery though, and can then buy both :)

    You should try having someone recreate it.

    Splurge on the top and see if a local seamstress can recreate the style of the skirt! The top would be pretty paired with other items in your closet, therefore totally worth the investment.
