Dress by Emilio de la Morena, from Rocca Boutique in Harrogate. This has to be my most indulgent purchase ever, it was a true cinderella moment when i tried it on- i absolutely fell in love!
The fit is unbelievable, its made of such a heavy weight silk that despite it being a little too large on my waist and hips it hangs and moves perfectly, the peplum looks really fresh and it doesn't really need accessorising as the print does all the talking already. Morena trained as an architect before doing an MA in design and it really shows in the construction, and his Spanish heritage makes for a subtle sexy take on contemporary womenswear.
Originally £861 from SS'11 despite buying with a hefty sale reduction this is still the most expensive thing I've owned but I see it as an investment. I'll style it with black tights, boots and leather sleeve blazer for my interviews and then for upcoming family occasions i'll add some earrings and wear bare legs and sandals. Job done.
Although i know it wasn't necessary to wear Designer to my interviews, in no way am i a 'Fashion Victim' there was just something about it i had to have. Of course, if i don't get a place i'll be kicking myself for the spend, but in the mean time, its been hanging in my wardrobe for just over a month and i can't wait to wear!
