With all the hype surrounding Selkie's Monet release, I almost overlooked this long sought after Monet print from ModCloth circa 2015. As you know, I not only do I love all things Impressionist, but I also tend to latch on to things and never let them go. Such is the case with all things ModCloth from 2012-2017. That was during the golden era when Susan Gregg Koger was still in charge and ModCloth felt like a carefully curated collection of beautiful things that made your girlish vintage dreams come true.
The trouble back then was that every dress I desired was $100 or more and my budget did not allow for more than one pretty MC dress per month at the very most while ModCloth was showcasing at least half a dozen dresses a month that went on my wishlist. So, I ended up with an ever growing list of wishes that I have hung on to in my heart long after my MC list has been defunct.
Undeterred by the sold out signs or the passage of time, I turned to the resale sites and have kept a watchful eye on my favorite MC brands to see if these coveted pieces ever manifested. If you've been reading the blog for any significant amount of time then you already know that now and then they do. And when they do I pounce on them like a hungry bear on an unattended picnic.
This beauty popped up on ThredUp last year but I missed it by mere minutes and so opted for another gem (which you can see here) that was lower on my list but also painting themed and still available. The search continued, I'd already waited seven years, what was one more, until I finally found this dress again, this time on Poshmark. I made a reasonable offer, the seller accepted, and one short week later, I'm wearing the original Monet dress that stole my heart. Of course I paired it with my brightest pinks--my YeMak sweater and VIVAIA flats
