Can I throw one last thought into this thread? I was thinking about this yesterday, and you know something interesting? "That" store, the one where you bought these pieces......well I bet you the clothes I have that I wear the least, and often regret having bought , all come from there. I use it as a default store when I'm trying to find something and am having no success in my usual places. It's a hodgepodge of prints, and textures and studs and sequins and a lot of other s**^ , and it's often hard to pull out things are really going to stand the test of time. Unfortunately too, they all know me there (the asst manager Heather is an old friend) and I end up getting talked into things I don't really want or like or aren't my thing.
Why am I telling you all of this? Maybe this IS a blessing in disguise and this isn't quite the source for your best look either? Anyways.......
