We want more, we want more!

I was thumbing through Elle magazine this morning and was shocked to find an ad for Tommy Hilfiger. It's safe to say I haven't seen the inside of a fashion magazine in quite some time, but does that company really still exist? Who buys that stuff? Tommy Hilfiger has always been an eye sore for me, sticking to the primary colors, never venturing off or taking a risk with a nice deep green or delicate lavender. I mean, I guess it says it all in the label, but who wants to look like the America flag walking? And the style of clothes they produce! It's like Abercrombie College Ed meets 1950s school uniform meets Sailor. I'm no expert on fashion trends, but I swear their stuff looks exactly as it did 10 years ago shot on the same football field. Talk about limiting your clientele. I may never get it, but to each his own I guess...

Then my breath was taken.

I flipped the page, a Dolce & Gabbana ad. Now that's more my style.

Contrary to a lot of scoffing that might be going on right about now, it's not about the name brand. I've never owned a D&G item in my life, but these dresses! There were four, and unfortunately one was cut off by the binding so I wasn't able to see much of the details, such a bummer. The dresses varied in texture, some more heavy and tightly woven while others a bit more airy with a loose knit. The cut of the dresses were all fairly similar, more fitting at the top and tapering out at the waist. I just love everything about this look. The dresses were paired with deep red lipstick, hair in messy yet effortlessly elegant up-dos, and chunky jewelry. They may have stuck with basics as far as the dress colors go, but you can still do so much with whats there already. I was so intrigued that I could just hear the little girl from the AT&T commercial in my head chanting, "We want more. We want more. You really like it, you want more!" as I turned the page and realized this was a singular photo ad.

So then she googled, and she got more..
