Housecoats Gone Modern...and Wildly Chic
On the day of my wedding, one of my friends showed up bearing an Oscar de la Renta caftan for me to use as a dressing gown as I got ready, and it's definitely one of the loveliest and most thoughtful gifts I've ever received. It's beautiful, made of liquid-y silk in a stunning robin's-egg blue ikat print, and is the type of thing that really does make you feel more pretty/fancy/glamorous when you have it on. Quite handy when you're about to walk down the aisle obviously, but since then, it has also proved uplifting in the most mundane times (on the couch watching reruns of America's Next Top Model, reading the paper on Sunday morning, etc). I love it so much I'm pondering getting a second, this time in gauzy, perfect-for-the-tropics (or sticky-hot NYC in the summer), machine-washable cotton. The bracelet-length sleeves and lavish embroidery give this an especially feminine, exotic quality, and it looks every bit as flowy, comfortable, and gorgeous as the one I already have.
