Quite surprised on how many times I wore this corset.  My birthday bash, weddings, halloween, concerts-- what a great buy!  Sometimes even questionable buys become a girl's go to outfit.  This just means go buy more stuff you don't think you will need.  

We are each other's shopping enablers.  No one can separate our habits -  even when we are on opposite ends of the country.  

Don't ask why I'm wearing a Hello Kitty crown.  I just am.

Shop Your Closet

I recently rediscovered a beloved sequin jacket that I'd stored in a garment bag and completely forgotten about until I was "shopping" my closet to save money.  Don't you love when that happens!?!

This was a runway look from Diane von Furstenberg S/S 2009 aka the "Rock Goddess" collection.  The jacket was completely sold out in stores, but being the style stalker that I am, I was able to track it down a few months later on eBay for a mere $400 (originally $1000).

It's actually thigh-length, but for daytime, I decided to pin it up to my hips and paired it with high-waisted shorts to give it a more casual feel.  Next time, I think I'll wear it with some relaxed boyfriend jeans.  My credit card is already thanking me!

xoxo, Linda
