I had steered clear of shoulder-emphasizing dresses til now, mostly because I think you need a small waist (aka b&w model above) to pull it off, and also because I haven't done as much shopping this year as I have in last years. I'm growing up, saving pennies;)
I do love the Balmain mini dresses that have 'inspired' countless numbers of high-street brands to provide us the same style. I found my special inspired dress in London at a little vintage boutique called Appletree on Portobello Road, Notting Hill. It was about 32GBP and as soon as I saw it on the racks I knew I must have it. It's super short and I need a belt to cinch in the waist, for the reason above, but also because it's a bit of a straight cut, a little loose.
