self isolate in Zimmerman

I am in love with this dress, which I purchased with my birthday in mind from TheRealReal. They have an amazing selection of Zimmerman pieces.

Though my birthday happened at the onset of the Corona crisis, I still got dressed up in one of my favorite new closet additions…a gorgeous floral number from Zimmerman.

Because my birthday was prior to the stay-at-home order, my mom and I went for some fresh air at Bridge Street Town Centre, a hub of eateries and shops, though sadly all the businesses were closed due to COVID-19. I was in good spirits, however, sporting my new Zimmerman & spending quality time with my mom.

This pre-loved dress was a fraction of the retail price and came brand new, with a Saks Fifth Avenue tag. I think this is a perfect example of how we can shop quality and get great value if we are open to shopping pre-loved.

This brand is exactly what I envisioned for the occasion. In my humble opinion, no brand compares to Zimmerman when it comes to silk pieces and feminine silhouettes. This 100% silk dress is lined.

Though it is a floral dress, the soft and subtle print compliments my warm complexion. The matching belt gives an hourglass silhouette.

I own several dresses from the brand, mostly in this style, because you can easily throw a leather jacket over the dress and style it with wedges in the summer and booties in the fall. This dress definitely expresses my signature style, as it day-to-night appropriate, is in a breathable and lightweight fabric, and has a soft color palette. It’s not an in-your-face floral print…the perfect transitional piece.

If you a find a piece you love at TheRealReal that has sold, you can add that item to your wish list and be notified when it comes back in stock. I recommend the long-sleeved 100% silk blouses and dresses. The lightweight fabric layers well and will take you from one season to the next. I will pair this with my BlankNYC tan suede jacket in fall.

I don’t intend to shy away from COVID-19. instead I want to provide a place where I can still share fashion content amidst this crisis and provide inspiration for when the dark clouds of COVID-19 lift and our lives go back to “normal.”

This is just the first post of many in the Corona Couture series…though the rest won’t feature such an uplifting background.

Farfetch is offering an additional 20% off sale items.

I did get one item featured in the previous post with the code and the Moschino selection is definitely tempting.

For now, I’m off to work but will add more items and product links later this evening:)

Zimmerman Sale

While I love a good basic, I have fallen hard lately for statement florals that amp up the femininity and can be styled in a more edgy way. I gravitate to Zimmerman when it comes to dresses.

Zimmerman creates day-to-night girly dresses, that transcend the seasons and look stunning paired with modern accessories.

I only recommend dresses that I see myself wearing and loving for years to come. Each of these is definitely an investment.

I do prefer to get high-end dresses, statement pieces and eye-catching prints when I can get them on sale. I do re-wear my prints, but still can’t re-wear them the same way I could a plain black dress, so getting a discount is smart shopping.

I do believe that separates are more practical, but a well-made dress is a one-piece outfit that makes getting dressed, effortless. These are my top 6 investment dresses. Yes, they pack a punch, but they also have an aura of classic femininity about them.

Clicking the image above will take you to the stunning selection of Zimmerman dresses offered on Net-A-Porter. I have also included links below for each dress shown above. Happy Shopping!
