Two reasons why I love the Fashion Show Mall in Vegas: Topshop and Zara. But not just any Topshop and Zara, the only Topshop in the Western United States, and one of the most well-stocked Zara stores in the country. And a reason (or three) why it's a luxury shopper's paradise? This mall has not one but three high end department stores: Nordstrom, Saks, and Neiman Marcus. This is a place I'd much rather spend my money in than the casinos.

While I styled the tie-dye piece as a dress in the first set of photos, its diaphanous fabric also makes it an effortless kimono-type jacket with jeans and a tee. Later this season it'll likely serve as a beach/swim cover-up. The wrinkle-resistant fabric makes it a perfect beach-to-bar vacation (or even staycation) piece. One piece three ways? Cost per wear plunges rapidly when something can do triple duty.

That is an amazing tie dye dress! And I love both ways you styled it! That water color print is showing up everywhere and I probably should scoop it up, shouldn't I? I saw a very similar looking fishtail maxi dress at Target today.

And I've been looking for those arrow rings, but haven't seen them yet. I'm determined to find them!! And thanks for being such a great friend. I hope one day I can make it back down to so cal and I'd love to meet you! <3

What a great dress! I'm sure you'll get a lot of wear out of it. It looks so comfy, too.

Hmm, I've never had a desire to go to Vegas, but I just might now that there's a Topshop.
