I’m a total sucker for those designer collaborations that seem to be all the rage these days.  So as you can imagine, I was pretty  bummed when I missed out on the Marni collection at H&M back in March.  I suppose I could’ve camped out the night before in hopes of snagging a few pieces…

In any case, fortune was on my side when I recently snagged this skirt for just $11 bucks on the second-hand market.  The best part is that I didn’t have to camp out on 5th Avenue or battle hoardes of bargain-hungry fashionistas!

True Story:

I may officially be the least athletic person I know.  I was the kid who was always picked last for volleyball games.  I got mostly straight A’s in elementary school, but was only able to scrape up a B for effort in gym class.  Never could climb a rope (but I could dangle at the bottom like nobody’s business).   And at a company “field day”, I got hit in the face with a dodgeball by our VP of Sales (he brought me flowers the next day). So in answer to today’s post title:  NO… I am NOT up for a game of rugby!

But I am up for this cute little rugby stripe dress that I scooped up on the clearance rack at J. Crew!

Closet Confection: Makin’ A Splash

I know I said I was nixing the office-supply idea, but I have to admit… this dress does sort of remind me of toner.

In other news, I am suddenly craving big, bold earrings this season.  Not the huge door-knockers that threaten to stretch your earlobes to within an inch of their life… but beautiful, colorful creations that dazzle the eye and draw attention towards the face.  I scooped these up at Forever 21 for a song, but I’ll also be on the lookout on Etsy and at my favorite local vintage shops for one-of-a-kind versions.
