Walking through 234 Collins Street after lunching, I happened to stumble upon a Burberry Clearance Outlet which had 50% off the Burberry London Label collection and up to 70% off Burberry Prorsum past season collections. Not that I was in any position to spend any money on designer items, but it's always fun to see what's in store and how good the discounts are. But then, of course, I would spot something that I would fall in love with.
Everyone remembers the dress that made big, bold embellishments cool to wear again. It was the oversized gem embellished pewter dress from the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2007 collection. Once Jessica Stam walked down the runway with this dress, every other designer and high street store took on the concept and ran with it.
It would have been nice if this dress was in the store, but it wasn't. However, I came as close to it as possible...and it was better suited to my day to day style. The top version, straight off the runway. It was beyond beautiful and stunning as ever. Worn, it was even better. The price tag you ask? $4000. But it was 70% off, which brought it down to around $1200, which I think, in 3-5 years, where I would already be an established career woman, would be a pretty good deal! As for now, since it's not going away in my head, I will be on the look out for a similar style.
The whole Prorsum Spring/Summer 2007 collection was actually really nicely done, and the flow of colors and embellishments worked well. It's one of my favorite collections from the label. Here's another dress which I hope to find on the high street somewhere.
