Man, it is tough going back to work after a long vacation! This was my second day on the job, and I was totally beat. I couldn’t wait to get home, but I did muster up enough energy to snap some pics before hopping on the train.
Everytime I wear this dress it reminds me of how much I miss the Isaac Mizrahi line at Target. There were some seriously well-constructed garments in those collections. For instance, this dress is fully lined and comes with pockets and little hidden snaps in the shoulder to hold your bra straps in place—GENIUS!
I usually just wear it with the matching belt that came with it, but I recently purchased a vintage silk scarf that I wanted to incorporate into the outfit. At first I tried tying it around my neck, but then I decided it was just too hot (maybe I’ll try it again when the weather cools down because it was super cute).
The necklace was a great eBay score I made a few weeks back. If you recall last month’s visit to the Hester Street Fair, you know that I drooled over a number of jewelry creations. One of them was this cool vintage mechanical pencil necklace from Corvus Noir. I couldn’t justify spending $84 on a necklace at the time, but a quick search on eBay later that evening yielded a similar piece for one-tenth of the price! Mine even has the original lead in it.
Do any of you guys shop for clothing and accessories on eBay? What have been some of your favorite finds?
