Surface2Air is another one of those impeccably easy-breezy French labels (like the absurd A.P.C.) that I feel like I should love. I mean, Garance Dore herself swoons over it. Surely if such elegant tastemakers endorse the company, then I should too, right?
As such, I came * thisclose * to ordering this dress tonight. $69, from $150. And I have my mom to thank for bringing my daffy head back down to earth (see below for our IM convo).
me: mom, are you still there? what do you think of this dress: [link to gilt.com]
me: i like it
Khoon: I saw only the blue dress that is ugly do U mean this blue one or else
me: the blue one.
me: why is it ugly? i like it.
me: the blue one.
me: why is it ugly? i like it.
Khoon: it is ugle & wiere too Not good @ all
In the end, it was the "wiere" backside of the dress that really made me scratch my head.
