Who doesn't love the name Michael?

So, since I work on a fashion website, I'm constantly forced to browse lots and lots of designer clothing. And every so often, something makes me stop dead in my tracks. In this case, it's the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. It's by Michael Kors and it's perfect. I've been admiring it from afar on Netaporter.com for what feels like 5 years though it's only been about 6 months. I've watched the price drop from $1,880 to $846. I've spent full 5-minute periods just staring at it and imagining places I could wear it (if only I'd had it for the MTV Awards!) And in my weakest moments, I've gathered co-workers to talk me OUT of actually spending nine hundred dollars on a dress that a) isn't a wedding dress and b) hasn't even been tried on and c) COSTS $900!!!

Anyway, I've put it into my shopping bag on Net a Porter, hoping that one day I'll check on it and they'll have marked it down to $200 or $300. I realize it's a pipe dream, that michael kors would probably step in front of a speeding bus before selling his stuff for less than $500, but a girl can hope, right?

I think the reason the pull is so strong is because the dress has actually spoken to me. The first time I came upon it, it whispered, "Hey there, ace. Listen, I know you don't normally tread in the $1,880 dress arena, but I was actually made specifically for you. Well, in full disclosure, I made the dress for Angie Harmon, Michael's muse.. and to be honest, she really ROCKS IT, but seriously, it wouldn't look half bad on you. You should TOTALLY buy me." This dress is SO ME. I'm not being vain - I'm not saying it would look so good on me, I'm just saying, the colors, the shape and the detailing feel very Tracey. (que everyone I know: don't you mean totally tracey? I need to rename this blog. But I digress.)

So, I leave you with this... if you EVER see this dress for $300 or less, please let me know immediately. The MTV awards are an annual event and I can wear it next year...
