Nanette Lepore: Little Red Dress Deal
I’ve never been a huge fan or follower of Nanette Lepore, I do like some of her designs though. They are very feminine, girly, sexy, flirty and most of the time…flattering. I haven’t really tried any of Lepore’s separates (capris, camis, blouses, etc), but I DO like her dresses. A dress fiend myself, my eye is drawn to the patterns, and colors she picks and uses in her dress designs. Nanette Lepore also has created a few versions of wonderful smelling perfume in pretty little light pink floral bottles. Good fragrance, great look. What is is about Nanette that makes everything she creates and designs inexplicably eye catching? Her look is distinct, even down to the little french looking font she uses in her signature label. And after browsing her website, I took note of the fact that every piece of clothing she makes is a bright, bold color, or a fetching floral print. Making use of fabrics that include silk, linen, and cotton, the clothing is soft and flowy, draping well where it needs to.
Nanette Lepore In the Wild Dress on sale for $149.90, originally $375
The first thing I liked about this dress was its cut. The v-neck top is always flattering, and I love the way it is fitted on top around the waist and then flares out slightly around the hips. There is also a great little gathered piece in the front that hangs a bit longer. The print is my most favorite part by far though, I am a sucker for red and this shade is perfect.
I found this red dress on the Saks Fifth Avenue website for a great price. Finding any top desingner items for under $150 is a pretty good find. However, I did find tons of cute sale stuff on nanettelepore.com, prices were more or less the same, but the selection was fabulous! I found geometric rompers, sea foam floral tunics, and butterfly print silks, mostly for under $170. It’s a hit or miss sometimes with the department store sites I feel. You will either find plenty of great designer stuff for inexpensive prices, and most of these sites will give you either free shipping, or an additional discount depending on what sort of sale is in effect. Designers’ own sites work a little differently. The discount may not be as generous on the clothing, but the selection may be more satisfying.
