Beautiful, Unattainable, Covetable, Nonsensical: Alexander McQueen Peacock Jacquard Dress

($3,191, Alexander McQueen, Saks)
The black and gold silk jacquard print is, of course, stunning, and OBVS I'm attracted to ANYTHING with peacock in the name, but WHO wants their ass to look like a hot air balloon:


Why wasn't this a straight A-line dress??? Why? WHY? ANSWER ME, SOMEONE!

Things that are black and gold and make more sense: Laura Mercier's Black Gold eye pencil and Sam Sparro's "Black And Gold" video:

    Seriously. This silhouette will look good on approximately 5 humans. The rest of us ... not a chance.

    i adore anything peacock related too and totally think you would love these tights i've been coveting for the last few days: http://www.freepeople.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.detail/productID/749b62df-3923-46cd-b04d-025e5216a3a2/cmCategoryID/683d4023-53f5-4900-b5ce-ecf465df31a9

    of course, i'm on a shopping hiatus (again) and seem to be very good at resisting online impulse shopping so far....
