I succumbed to the allure of the Triglav Peep-Toes ($110) over the weekend. Something about the cafe-striped wedge heels was too tempting. And they are really comfortable to boot! I wouldn’t want to be on my feet all day in them but they survived walking around the city for a few hours quite well. No pinched toes, no blisters. On my way out of the store, bag with shoes triumphantly in-hand, I passed by the Segovia Dress ($128) and it stopped me in my tracks. Why, hello capped-sleeve dress with bottom floral accents reminiscent of Ric Rac’s Teaming Coast scoopneck (no longer online, $78 in-store, pic below)! I couldn’t leave without trying it on.
The store didn’t have any 6s or 8s left so I decided to try a 4 just for the heck of it. Surprisingly, it fit fine! This Floreat number is pretty flowy with a tie-back so I think the less structured shape allowed me to fit into the smaller size. The sleeves hit just off the edge of my shoulder which created a flattering look as opposed to some cap sleeves which cut down the middle of my shoulder and make my arms look paunchy.
I liked the pattern of the dress and the length was good — hit me right at the top of my knees. But I couldn’t think of anything to wear it for in the next few weeks so back to the rack it went.
