Complex Simplicity

I'm a sucker for a simple garment that has an undertone of complexity. Whether it be a skirt cut at an unexpected angle, or a plain top with a strange neckline -- I'm completely drawn to it. It's rare for me to wear patterns, if I do it's usually a black and white striped pattern or polka dots. For my clothing, basic colors and lines with funky twists are my favorites. These two dresses are currently at the top of my Spring wardrobe wishes.

First there's the Phoenix Dress, made from 100% organic cotton, on sale for $120. The Phoenix is available in grey, tan or olive.

Next, there's the Bagera DF A/W 08, $335, which is a lovely little number with two hip pockets and a pleated neckline. Available in red, black and tan.
But...I'm not loving the prices. It may be time to finally take that dress making class!
