Marianne: Sometimes I am dumb.

Sometimes, I am just not very smart. Take the dress above, for instance. This gorgeous, silk, Mara Hoffman dress was at a local consignment store for a whopping $23. Twenty. Three. Dollars. And yet...I waffled. I went and tried it on three different times before sending Adrien the photo and then cringing as she basically told me I was a dummy for not snapping it up immediately. And she was right! It would have served me right if it had sold, but I was in luck.

I think what gave me pause was how buttoned up it was. Very Florence and the Machine if you did the snaps all the way up.
But, duh, you don't have to do the snaps all the way up. Again, I am dumb.
Apropo of nothing, I ran into my friend Haven and she was also wearing black + white + mustard, and so I made her pose for a picture like the nerd I am. Isn't she cute?
