CHLOÉ Animal-Print Silk Dress $1,920
CHLOÉ Black Over-Knee Suede Boots $1,245
CHLOÉ 'Heloise' Leather Hobo Bag $1,595
This is all just so, so good in the best possible ‘Rhoda’ way. I can remember my mother dressing like this; quintessential ’70′s chic. Of course it was the seventies, and I have such fond memories of her looking exceptionally young and beautiful, in oxblood colored Aigner knee boots with silk bow neck dresses, her hair in a shiny chignon. Maybe if one of us had had the foresight to save some of that stuff (yeah right – I was like ten), I wouldn’t be coveting these quite so voraciously in the 2000′s…live and learn. In the meantime, I’ll continue to scour the thrift stores for something comparable, and long for the day that these go on sale – as if they’d be reasonable even then. Whatev – a girl can dream.

- Roksanda Ilincic Silk Floral Ribbon Dress $1660
Aside from the fact that this would look crappy on me for about sixty different reasons, not to mention it’s excessively prohibitive price tag? I long for it. I think I’m loving the whole film noir look; It reminds me of those glamorous dresses all the dames wore in movies like ‘Double Indemnity.’ But in those days? Dresses like this probably only ran them a couple of sawbucks.

Calypso St. Barth Pazzi Dress in 'Ladyslipper' $49
Run to Calypso to scoop up this lovely dupioni silk shift! Marked down from $195, it comes in eight brilliant colors, so gorgeous I can’t decide which I like best. ‘Cardinal’ would be the ideal choice for spring, since red is enjoying such a redux, but if your eyes are even a teeny bit blue? Go for ‘Cyan.’ This dress makes sense in so many ways, giving you even more for your money; It’s comfortable and forgiving, not to mention it would work with everything from flip flops to heels. I would pair it up with the ‘shoe of the moment,’ a.k.a those wooden platform sandals I can’t believe I actually like. You know the ones – here…
