Public Desire

Hi there, everyone!

This is sort of a "Part Two" to my previous post, although it isn't Badwood related. Alee and I shot this look immediately afterward, and I'm more than happy with the outcome. 

If there is anything I love, it's platforms. I swear by them. Maybe it's because I'm biased and my height or lack there of draws me to them, or maybe it's because I can achieve the height I desire without killing my arches in uncomfortable shoes... either way, platforms and I are like peas and carrots. I was lucky enough to come across this online store called Public Desire via Instagram. Who knew their "accounts you might also like" suggestions would actually come in handy? Despite the fact that the store is in the UK, with affordable prices and speedy shipping (given that it's international) I really couldn't say no. My biggest struggle was deciding on a pair, and I probably would've bought two if it hadn't been for these show-stoppers. Initially I saw them in all white and was pretty dead-set on buying them since I went through a pretty serious white phase this summer, but I got a bit greedy and kept on scrolling when POW! These babies hit me like a Mack truck and just like that, it was a done deal. No questions asked, no second thoughts. My only regret is that I didn't wear them more this summer.

This dress almost didn't happen. I was scrolling through Tobi because I had gotten an email about a crazy Labor Day sale and had originally seen it in a different color combo that wasn't so much my taste. I kept it open in a tab and kept looking through other options when they had it pictured again, but in this color combo instead. At first I didn't think it was even the same dress (it's crazy how something as simple as color scheme can change an entire piece so drastically) so I clicked on it to see if my size was still available and lo and behold, there it was: the dress in not only two, but three different color choices. I was back and forth between two options, but I just happened to look over at my closet only to see my Public Desire platforms and that ultimately guided my decision making (plus, it wouldn't hurt to add some pink to my wardrobe). I am more than happy with the fit and feel of the dress. It's a fancier substitute to my typical t-shirt dresses... not to mention it's lightweight and really cool.
