Its official, Ive been Missonized. ;) This dress is from Missonis collaboration with the Swedish clothing brand, Lindex. I have always been a fan of the fabulous zig zag pattern but could only dream of buying a statement piece from Missoni. But here I am looking a little smug in my budget but nevertheless genuine Missoni dress. :)
But boy was it hard to get hold of this dress, I first tried to buy it online but the site crashed. But to my luck my local shop opened early in the morning the next day, so I started the day by queing outside a shop at 7am. ;) Pretty desperate right? Lol. But it was totally worth it, I got my lusted after dress and a cardigan. One of the few as the collection was completely sold out in minutes. I have never done this before, a fun experience indeed. :)
A rear view, my favourite part of my body, my boooooty. :P Hehehe so much for me being shy. LoL. :) Well at least its the most curvascious part of my skinny frame, looks quite odd really. ;) Someone just glued a balloon on my backside. ;)
A member of the Norwegian royal family wore the same dress at an exhibition just two days before the collection launched. She caused quite a stir , so me and the princess, ha! ;)
A close up of the fantastic pattern, whats not love. <3 A subdued look from what I normally wear but I love it, a classic, staplement dress.
What Im wearing:
Dress from Missoni by Lindex
Top from HM
Shoes from Tamaris
As always on a Monday Im joining the Visible Monday party at Not Dead Yet Style! Hit it ladies!
You and the princess, indeed! This is a lovely dress and you look fabulous, Izzy. A genuine Missoni will be fun for you to wear many times! Thanks for sharing it with Visible Monday.
SvarSlettAaaw thanks Patti. :)
SlettYou look fabulous as ever.

Thank you!
SlettLucky you! It looks amazing - and I so wish I could get one too! I've loved Missoni's pattern and incredible colour combinations for years! Was it Märtha louise who wore the dress, or the Crown Princess? Anyway, you certainly have the better booty! And no, it doesn't look like balloons, it looks just right, especially in this MISSONI dress!
SvarSlettThank you Tine! :) It was Märtha Louise who wore the dress. Heeee I can do booty *shakes*
SlettLove this dress! I don't think of neutrals when I think Missoni, but the pattern makes this stand out.
SvarSlettTHe same thing happened here in the US last year when Missoni joined forces with Target to launch a collection - the site crashed and I couldn't buy anything :( Glad you got the dress, despite the early morning trek to the store.
Thanks! Yea its was pretty wild here too, not in my local shop but in Oslo (capital) women hit and elbowed eachother at the racks....
SlettGorgeous dress! Reminds me of the big reception of the Missoni and Target collection. People bought it all so fast and resold it on ebay for extremely high prices.
SvarSlettThanks Megan! Yea Ive heard of the Target and Missoni collection. Yea I think the same happend here, I did notice some garments popping up at a Norwegian auction site. Its stupid really.
SlettWOW, really elegant, Izzy! The pattern is vivid enough that the neutral colours are perfect - still plenty dramatic, and beautifullly flattering. So glad you got one, congrats!!!
SvarSlettThank you Amber! :) Yea I totally agree with you, this dress is a keeper. :)
SlettOh wow, that's an amazing dress. I love the zig-zags, and the neutral palette is so gorgeous. You look lovely!
SvarSlettHi there Ana! :) Thanks for popping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment! :)
SlettYou do not look like you have a balloon glued to your butt! You did make me laugh out loud. The Teen calls it the junk in the trunk, and having some is fashionable :)
SvarSlettAwesome dress. And smug looks very nice on you.
Hee, happy to make you laugh Lynne! :) Junk in the trunk sounds good to me, especially as Ive got nothing goin for me upfront (miss boobless). ;)
SlettThis is a fantastic dress! You look wonderful in this, Izzy!
SvarSlettHee, girl's got some booty! Woo!
Thank you Sheila! :) Heeeeee *shakes booty* :P
SlettI. LOVE. this. dress! Kudos to you for having the patience to queue up for it so early in the morning...it really did pay off!

Aaaw Connie, how sweet of you! :) I really appreciate your comment. I do hope you like it here. :)
SvarSlettI love that dress! The zig-zag pattern is a favourite. And your adventure buying it makes this dress even better.
SvarSlettThank you so much Melanie! :) Yea this dress is a treasure for sure. :)
SlettI love that classic Missoni zig zag stripe. What a beautiful dress, worth all the effort to get it!
SvarSlettI keep looking, but I see no balloon butt!
I found a Missoni Sport dress in a charity shop last year! It was sadly too small for me but I sold it for a good price on Ebay. I wonder if I will ever find another one...? xxxx
Oh wow I cant believe you found a Missoni dress in a charity shop, too bad it didnt fit you.
SlettHi there Priscilla. :) Thanks for popping by and leaving a comment, appreciate it! :) I will check out your blog, love your blogname, blow a rainbow. :)
SvarSlettlovely dress! I love the pettern so much! gorgeous!

Izzy, you look great in this dress and I cannot tell that you have a balloon behind. It looks quite tiny to me. The only piece I got of Missoni for Target was an infinity scarf. The pieces were actually rather cheaply made and not worth the money or the frenzy. Your dress does look worth the trouble to get though.
