Dress, vintage. Knit coat, scored at Marshall's. Shoes, Bebe. Bag, Old Navy.
Yesterday, between losing internet spontaneously and miserably weird 40s temperatures, began as an annoying mess, so I decided to console myself with a creamy mocha and a perusal of a beachside cheapy boutique I've always wanted to check out. Downtrodden spirits lifted as soon as I saw a dusty pink dress with alive-looking collar ruffles that I determined to be perfect for the night's Valentine's dinner (perfect with my Oh Deer CL Lastic k/os) and a pair of electric blue skinnies with an extremely friendly $20 price tag. New stuff = happiness.
{Though my favorite purchase of the week has to be this mint condition dress form I scored at a thrift store, clean, sturdy, and marked "Elegance LA". I've already had an enormous amount of fun playing dress up with it and am even considering naming it.}
The night ended up being completely magical, with a wine-heavy dinner at our favorite Thai place that was also where we had our first date almost 3 and a half years ago..one of the best Valentine's I've ever had. Hope everyone else had a wonderful time too!

Love your coat.
awww u look so warm and toasty! :-)
Looking fantastic as always! I was wondering what is your educational background? Did you go to Fashion/Merchandising/Textile/Art school? You seem to know how to tell a good quality piece.
I was so in love with the Prada ombre patent bag, so when this Old Navy tote came out I wanted it. Seeing how great you make it look I think I need it now.
Seriously, your jacket thing is so ugly. I don't get why you see the appeal in it.
I´m actually having my post valentine´s date today, but it´s going to be very wine-relying, too.
as my favourite dinners always are.
lovey dress, I think I will go for some erin fetherston-ness.
i don't really like the sweaterjacket either but you can't like everything. But actually with her style, I almost do like everything else which I can hardly say for anyone else.
The pink dress is gorgeous :-)
Does the boutique where you snagged that adorble pink dress have an online store?
You are so amazingly pretty, and the dress is a beauty.
