Cupcakes and Cashmere

In Theory

September 4th, 2008

My love of shopping knows no limits after I braved hordes of tourists and ridiculously humid conditions in order to stop at the outlet mall in the desert. It turned out to be well worth the trip since I came home with this red Theory dress that is actually still available in stores (though only in black and at full price). After writing about my new obsession with zippers last week, I knew that this dress, with its fantastically bright color and delicately detailed sleeves, would be a great staple to own. This morning I threw it on with an H&M belt, Jeffrey Campbell heels and my obnoxiously large Forever 21 watch.

    you know how sometimes in outlets you find things you love but compromise on size/fit because it’s so well priced?
    well you obviously didn’t! Fits you like a glove!
