A Dress A Day

A dress.
Mostly every day.

Sub Ubi Semper Ubi


Oasis Rosalind Trompe L'Oeil dress

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 don't remember any of the grammar, but I remember all the puns.

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

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

    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.

    It does look very Darth Vader, doesn't it! Ha ha!

    As regards the sweater-dress:

    "Why so serious? ...Oh, right, because my dress is terrifying..."
