If I visit one and the same shop over and over again, it sometimes happens that I notice an item I like, but still leave it for some reason; it is not really my style, it may be unflattering, it is not “interesting enough” or I already have a similar one in my selection. So I leave the boutique thinking of this garment yet with the feeling I might have made a wrong decision. The dress of this post is exactly the piece in question. I have seen it in my local ONLY shop for quite some time, but always ended up leaving it and now, that I bought it, I am really glad that I followed my style instinct. D’you ever experience the same?
