Question Answered

One of those items from Bebe we were all drooling over is available. The brocade mutton sleeve jacket is $169. Do you like it more or less now that you know the price? It's in line with what I expected it to be. I'm still waiting for the pale jacket and the bustle dress, but I doubt I'll be able to snatch them up on sale. Difficult decisions!

the fabric is pretty but i think it's pretty atrocious with those puffy sleeves (and i LOVE ruffles and feminine details... TOO MUCH here!) and that price, sheesh! surely there's something else out there that's cuter and not so expensive.

The fabric looks silky and smooth however the sleeves are little too big

Retro Shoes

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Sweet Sleep Bra

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.

The Horror: Crochet Coverup

By -

To be completely upfront, I'm not a fan of crochet anyway. It always reminds me of a hanging planter my mother preserved from the 70s. This crochet dress by All Saints may be cool layered over a body con dress, but it's absurd as a swimsuit coverup. First of all, it doesn't cover anything. Second, it will leave weird tan lines. Third, it's $75. You should know in the midst of your eye rolling that this $75 beach coverup is half off the original price of $150.
How do you feel about this item as a coverup vs. as a dress? How do you feel about crochet in general? What would you pay for a swimsuit coverup? (I wouldn't pay more than $10 for something fun at Goodwill.)
