Sub Ubi Semper Ubi

Holly of Lucite Box Vintage sent me the link to this dress (for sale at Oasis). I kind of love it, but more as a witty swimsuit coverup than as an actual dress, and it's definitely on the pricey side for something like that ($60, plus $10 shipping to the US). Plus, you know, no pockets.

The rest of the Oasis site terrifies me, especially this dress, which I am certain to have nightmares about for quite some time. (Although it would be pretty awesome as part of a Joker's-henchwoman costume for Halloween ... )

I walked past this on a mannequin while out looking for new clothes yesterday. It certainly made me look twice!

Oh, no--no pockets on a swimsuit cover-up is even worse. Talk about a time when you REALLY need pockets. Where are you going to put your shells, sea-glass, and quarters to buy Cokes?

My nutty Latin teacher was a big fan of Semper Ubi Sub Ubi. Funny, after all the years I studied the language, I dont remember any of the grammar, but I remember all the puns.

I was thinking that the white one thats printed like a trench would be even better for the beach. (Oh, the incongruency of it all!) Plus, I think these trompe loiel oversized things would be good for when youre having an I feel fat day.

I can honestly I would never wear that dress. Anywhere. Fat day or no.WendyBee

I was thinking that it would be better in a Maternity style.

Also, when you look just at the top of this dress, it kind of looks like Darth Vader.

[Latter-Day Flapper]

It does look very Darth Vader, doesnt it! Ha ha!

As regards the sweater-dress:Why so serious? ...Oh, right, because my dress is terrifying...
