Way back when, I tried my hand at making a few extra bucks by hawking wares on eBay.  This dress was originally a purchase that was intended for the auction block.  When it didn’t sell on the first try, I went ahead and kept it for myself.  And hence the reason why my eBay business was short-lived…

Rule #1: Never get high on your own supply!

Yes, it’s true… I succumbed to yet another Target Designer Collaboration.  What can I say?  I’m a creature of habit. At least you can always find some Target promotional codes to help save money. Now that’s smart shopping!

Since there are only a smattering of Target stores in NYC (and past experience has taught me that the most coveted items would be snatched up within minutes), I opted to wake up extra early and snag a few pieces online.  As it turns out, bleary-eyed shopping is not the brightest idea for me.  My brain was too foggy to properly whittle down my selections, and I wound up purchasing a whopping 4 dresses!  One of them will most definitely be going back, and I’m still undecided on another.

This one is definitely a keeper, but you’ll have to wait for a recap of my upcoming vacation to see what else I got!

I titled this post Crestfallen, but in reality it was a pretty good day when I wore this outfit. I started off with some window drooling shopping along Madison Avenue, swung by Ladurée for those delicious macarons I wrote about yesterday, and finally headed uptown for dinner in Harlem at Red Rooster (they’re mac & greens dish is heavenly!).
