This Richard Chai Silk Cowlneck Dress reminds me of something I would find in a photo of my mother taken during the late 1970s and early 1980s and I don’t disapprove! The small purple flower pint and silk is to die for and the cowlneck gives pushes it right in to the late 2000s.

Sak’s Fifth Avenue

What do you all think? Is this worth the splurge of $518.19 at Sak’s to get that retro feel that you could find at in a photo album? I don’t know. It just might well be because it is 100% silk, has a side zipper and of course is designer made. It’s your call though!

And if you’re a fan of the purple flower print you’ll also like the Richard Chai Silk Cowlneck Top in the same pattern for $358.11. Both are on sale right now.
