the van noten vibe

after a brief scan of the anthropologie website, i happened upon this dries-ish dress (above, on sale for $80 down from $328). unfortunately, as i'm making a concerted effort lately to purchase only pieces that can serve multiple purposes in my wardrobe (this baby's pretty much a one trick pony), i'll have to bypass. on that floral note, however, anthropologie also featured a $178 stunner (below, right) that is reminiscent of the dress maggie gyllenhal wore in her olivier assayas' directed vignette in paris, je t'aime (below, left). i'm obsessed; but, sadly, also broke. dare to dream, right?
