Mossimo Knit Dress

A perfectly long tank

While I was at my aunt’s house visiting my grandmother last week, all of the family took turns getting out of the house while someone stayed with my grandmother. It was a really nice way to get a breath of fresh air and have some time alone. When it was my turn to take a few hours away, I went for a drive and ended up at Target. Shopping is probably the worst form of therapy, but when I saw this racerback tank dress I nearly gasped in excitement.

About three years ago, Urban Outfitters was selling really long tanks and shirts, which I bought and wore all the time. When I went to buy more, after realizing just how much use I was getting out of them, they were gone — and they didn’t have any on line either.
By now, you’d think I’d have learned my lesson to buy two of something I really love, since everything I love gets discontinued or sold out, but I always feel like that’s just being really greedy and compulsive.

But when I saw these long tanks, I knew that they would be well used, so I ended up getting a few in different colors. They are perfect for layering, good for warm weather, and look casually Fab with my herem pants. (Yes, I wear them, and I love them. They remind me of the Indian outfits my mom used to put me in when I was little.)

Since these tanks are 100 percent cotton, I bought mine one size bigger than I normally wear because they’re bound to shrink. If you’re tiny, you could always cut about four inches off the bottom so it hits at a place that you’re comfortable with.

Bottom line: BUY THESE. And maybe even buy two.

Buying two of everything isn’t recession friendly advice. For shame.

(However, being a girl, I secretly applaud you.)

Great find!
I just hate the ones that have really large gap holes (for the arms)
