Inspired by the cover of ESSENCE


The August issue of Essence magazine arrived in the mail the on Monday. As soon as I looked at the cover, I could not stop gasping. Viola Davis looks stunning in this dress. Upon looking at the dress I thought about the iconic photo of Marilyn Monroe. You know the one where she's standing on a subway grille in New York and her dress is flying up.

According to Essence, this dress is a Lanvin polka dot gown and it retails for $6,085 at Barneys New York.

Yes, you've read it correctly $6,085.00. Yikes! I cannot afford this stunning dress.
