Alloy Joy

June 9th, 2008

Though I’m probably aging myself by saying this, I believe the last time I checked out Alloy’s apparel, it was long before they even had a website.  Thanks to Neekoh, from LiveLoveLA, I was reminded of their great selection of affordable dresses, particularly this Striped Ruffle Yoke one that is beyond adorable.  The light blue and white stripes add such a nice dimension to this crisp shirt dress that begs to be worn with sky-high espadrilles.  I love the buttons that are encased in sweet ruffles that can dramatically alter the appearance from office-appropriate when buttoned up (and worn with khaki capris and peep-toe ballet flats) or worn open, for a great cover-up for a beach barbeque.

    You’re kidding! This is soooo what made me fall back in love with Alloy this past week. I’m buying it! :) And also possibly not doing my post on it. Haha!

    I love the shirt dresses! I just saw a girl on Face Hunter that looked adorable in one and saved it to blog about. :)

    I’ve gotten some great things over the years from Alloy. Sometimes the cut is a little funny, but this dress looks perfect!

    I really like the light, airy look of that top/tunic. Crisp is a great word for it.

    I’m so jealous of American shops, I spend ages looking at Abercrombie and Forever 21 online so tempted to buy but the shipping costs are ridiculous. I think this is another store I’m going to be obsessive over too, that top is gorgeous.
