Currently Loving: Tie-Dye

peacock tie-dye by gleighb featuring Alexander McQueen dresses

This is one trend that falls into the same chapter as clogs in my book.  Much like clogs, I've never thought tie-dye belonged in a well dressed person's closet, or at least I had never seen it... until this season.  Now, I've suddenly noticed tie-dye popping up on the most unexpected silhouettes and I strangely find myself attracted to it! However, it was the Alexander McQueen dress featured above that caught my attention several weeks ago while purusing Polyvore.  I've since found myself drawn to different variations of the 70s-inspired print whether it's a blouse, tank, tee, or ruffly dress.  I think between the clogs and tie-dye I've sufficiently learned my lesson on keeping my mouth shut about clothes I will never wear. 

A Taste of McQueen

Do you have an article of clothing or an accessory in your wardrobe that you are grateful you purchased because you know the opportunity will never come back?  Right now, this cropped blazer is that piece in my wardrobe.  I bought this about a year ago when Alexander McQueen did a line for Target.  I've always loved his work, but sadly enough could never afford it.  While it may not be as flashy as his couture line, it is my little piece of what he brought to fashion.
