Dearest BS,
We are coping with Cincinnati’s 20 degree weather this week by planning our spring wardrobe. We’re loving this dress trend, and are all about fun, flowing dresses with pockets on the sides this spring. Particularly this Diane von Furstenberg number. Can we say gorgeous? Yes, we can.
Alas, it lies out of our reach, as we are trying to save money for our future world travels. Can you aid us in our search for something a tad more reasonable?
Much love,
-J. in Cincy
Oh! We love Cincinnati! Maybe we will have our next Bunnyshop swap there. We are longtime visitors, specifically in what we believe is the Kenwood area. And our favorite thing about it: obviously, the Gold Star Chili, and stopping there at midnight, and going home to our bestest-type friend Nicole’s house and watching Project Runway.
Anyway! There is nothing in the entire world we recommend saving money for, more than future world travels—we’re doing the same thing ourselves. And then, in the meantime, the need to wear clothes. Preferably cute clothes, and, in this case, clothes with pockets. We really like that dress above. This was an incredibly hard bill to fill. We did our best.
We just saw a dress in Forever 21 that looked almost exactly like this dress—this one, unbelievably, was not it, and is only in second place. Broken dot tube dress, $24.80. But of course it misses the point, which is about pockets.
We like this one, but it’s just about as much. Tucker pocket dress, $330
We are really having a hard time finding dresses that fit this bill. Bizarrely, this is one of the ones we like most. Puella pocket dress, was $110, now $55
This one isn’t as fun, but it’s a bit closer, we think. Sunner dress, was $233, now $117
This is ridiculously short. So: just our favorite thing! (Especially, maybe, with black pants \ tights for winter.) It’s hard to see but there definitely are pockets. Guy Baxter dress, was $391, now $196
Very springtime, but we love that yellow, and maybe they could be successfully layered-up. Armani Exchange pleated smock dress with pockets, $130
This fits a bit strange but we still love it—we’re buying this when we get paid. At $36, we can take the risk. American Apparel pocket dress, $36
