crochet coachella dreams do come true

After a decidedly terrible half week, mostly spent in my Cookie Monster pajamas hoping that my body doesn’t continue to implode, I had a package come that made me momentarily forget my misery! Background: I’ve been searching for a crochet mini dress ever since I saw Kate Bosworth rock her Topshop one at Coachella last year.

It’s become an unhealthy obsession, and for those of you who know me, know that I can’t justify spending $150 dollars on a dress that my father would say looks like something I can make .. ANYWAYS, I had a fleeting spark of hope last weekend at Zara when I spotted a gorgeous khaki crochet mini, but it hung funny, only came in medium, and taunted me in the mirror when I tried to come up with a variety of ways that I could fix it. No dice. So, prompted by Forever 21’s promise to donate all online proceeds to relief efforts in Japan, I backtracked on my usual no online purchases rule and bought their crochet mini that I’ve been sneaking glances at for the past couple weeks.

It’s fucking p-e-r-f-e-c-t. Fits well, not too tight, not too short, not heavy in the least (which the Zara one was). Sorry the shot is on my Mac and not a full body or anything, it was a glasses, no makeup, hair unbrushed sick day, and I didn’t want to subject anyone to that.

More to come!
