Alice + Olivia Trapeze Dress

Okay so I am so not forgetting about my Perfect Summer Dress quest, and I just found this one on the front page (yep, the FRONT PAGE) of the Nordstrom website. It’s only $330, so it scores well in both the glamour and the value for money department if you ask me.
I’m starting to think [...]
