I have a serious problem! I have finally found a designer who not only always makes dresses I love but ones that also fit my body perfectly. This leads to a rather expensive issue known as, Thakoon Addition Addiction. Just google, “Thakoon Addition Caftan,” and see my picture pop up with all the different times I have posted about my favorite dress (or see caftan crazy and caftan lifesaver). And don’t even begin to wonder how many times I have worn my Thakoon Addition caftan outside of my blog. I would not be scared to say it is over 100 times. It is my all-time favorite wardrobe staple. Whether I am wearing it to the lake or a charity function – this dress is always perfect! I was beginning to get a little embarrassed at the number of times I wear it – I mean you can only be seen in the same dress so many times before it is considered ridiculous. Trust me when I say, I am straddling that line between love and clownish.
I was on the lookout for what would be my next “lover” when I decided to check-out Thakoon Addition. Since it was such a score in the past I thought I would give it another go. Let me preface this by saying for the past six months I have also been on the hunt for the perfect shirtdress. Literally searching relentlessly for what I think is something every closet should have, and mine is lacking. The search was by far harder than I thought and I was about to throw in the towel when I saw this gathered-front shirt dress in the Thakoon Addition section. Not only is it one of my favorite designers but I also found the item my heart had been searching for. What I loved most about the dress was that it had added elements to a classic piece – gathering, hi-low hemline, and pockets. I had found the dress! Once it arrived in the mail I wore it that night to a dinner. Sadly, I spilt red wine and beer all over the front so off to the cleaners it went. The day I got it back I wore it immediately anddddddd red wine once again. So maybe I should lay off the red wine but I will not be laying off this dress! It has everything the caftan has, and more! It will be perfect for my next trip (which I am excited to share this week) and a piece that will transition perfectly into fall! You will just have to stay tuned for the million+ ways I will probably wear this one! At least my sweet caftan will get a break!
