OUTFIT DU JOUR: THAKOONING

The weather is promising to warm up enough to finally wear my much-loved shibori-print dress from Thakoon for Target. Here's the first photo of me in it:

I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it at our local Target!

It wasn't an easy dress to accesorize, but I love how these two handmade bracelets look with it:

On the left is a traditional "evil eye" bead bracelet my aunt got for me from Greece, and on the right is one given to me as a birthday gift by a dear family friend who's an acclaimed stained-glass artisan.

Dress: Thakoon for Target
Shoes: Steve Madden (Ross)

I'll show more photos of what I got from the Thakoon collection soon!

I love the print on that dress! It looks perfect for summer :)

Thank you both! I think this dress was the highlight of Thakoon's collection for Target, but I didn't think it would fit me as most Go Intl. clothes don't, but I was very pleasantly surprised!

jealous!! my friend just picked me up the other night wearing that dresswith leggings and cute flats- LOVED IT!!! cant find it now even on clearance (hmm maybe on the website?)

Anchibride said...

Thanks Christina! I wish you told me earlier ... this dress was on clearance at our local Target last month (I think it was less than $15). I'll look out for it for you. One may still be around at some podunk Target somewhere around here. Might seem farfetched, but the other day I picked up a Jovovich-Hawk blouse they'd put out from storage or something, so you never know.

Lovin it! I saw that dress, now seeing it on you I wish I would have gotten it You look super, super cute and playful! I love that you are showing us your outfits.....more pics please!

Anchibride said...

Thank yooouuu! So glad you like it. :o) I'm thinking of shortening the sleeves, though. They're a bit too long for me, otherwise it's perfect.

Gorgeous! I have that dress in the black/white/gray print. I wore it with tights and boots in the winter and now plan on wearing it with sandals in the summer. I just wish I had the blue/white version, too!!

Anchibride said...

Thank you BB! The black/white dress is seasonless! You're lucky. :o) I tried it on and it didn't look that good on me, but I did get the skirt in the b/w print on clearance.
