The fashion gods bestowed me this dress from the Maison Martin Margiela Collection for H&M. I must say that I am great at spotting things that I know were not meant for my over size 14 body. With my finely tuned shopaholic eyes, I can spot a dress that will fit. I bought this dress in the biggest size they had, which was a size 12. I was actually on my way out of the store and then saw this in the window and was like, "wait, wait, wait, I can wear this!" I had eyed this dress from a distance in the magazine ads. I shimmied over to the dressing room to give it a whirl. Sidenote: Zippers are the bain of my existence without help you can never get the blasted things up. I got the dress up and over, but didnt get it zipped. I had to drive home and ask my husband to zip it to make sure that I could wear it. I can't remember how I conquered them as a single girl. What's even better is when I got the register, I was ready to dish out the $200 that was displayed on the price tag. Then, what do my ears hear, "50% off, only $99." Oh sweet baby Jesus! I'm not sure if it's appropriate to thank God for epic fashion finds, but you know what? I'm thanking him just in case it is.
In the case that you go looking for pieces from this collection, here are a few things to know. Quite a few of the pieces are over-sized, so there is a good chance that you will be able to fit. Know that the piece will probably not fit or look the way the designer intended. I actually like this dress better on me, than I did the model. Also, this collection did not do so hot, the items are on sale. I bought this dress a few weeks ago, so this and the other items maybe even more deeply discounted. Finally, the shoes from this collection are insane! They are definitely worth the trip.
