score

Dress: H&M. Blazer: Silence & Noise. Boots: Jeffrey Campbell. Fedora: Trash & Vaudeville. Bag: Balenciaga. Rings: NY street vendor, LF.
I posted on twitter last week when I scored this ivory blazer reduced from about $88 to $15 at Urban Outfitters. An especially sweet deal since I have been looking for an ivory blazer since the summer. God am I glad that I waited! I went back the next day and scored ANOTHER one in mint. I finally wore it the other day when it was a bit warmer.
You guys know this ocean print dress from H&M: I wore it in the summer with the ‘corset’ Aldo wedges posted here. For anyone still mulling over the Jeffrey Campbell boots, get them. They are reeeeeally comfortable, true to size with just enough but not too much Creeper.
****OMFG BLOG NEWS ALERT!!! ****

    reaaaaally hoping that you win; how incredible would it be to go to stockholm?!

    and this outfit is amazing; LOVE the pairing of that dress (that i still want) with that blazer. still can’t believe that i paid $88 for it and you paid FIFTEEN! oh well. i never did call them about it, so i guess it’s my fault haha
