 With the enthusiasm for mini-dresses comes the risk of the unintended crotch shot. I have a heightened awareness of such things due to the frequency with which I wear mini-dresses: Spandex bike shorts became my best defense against the unintended naughty bit flash long ago.

 Is this a killer nod to warm weather? Yes. Do Tibi jackets retail for around $398.00? Also yes. My penchant for neutrals and northeast location makes splurging on something like this almost as ludicrous as the price tag itself. If I could find something like this for a more reasonable number – say, $24.95 – it’d be a different story. One in which I’d BUY IT on the SPOT. . . . → GO ON… Retail Vs. Resale: Tibi Jacket

 May is upon us, and you know what that means: It’s time for sundresses! Beacon’s Closet and Housing Works are currently bursting with floral fabulosity.
Retail value comparisons included for motivational purposes. Few things are more thrilling than the massive cost differential between new and gently-worn, IMHO.

 Wanna rock the See-Through Shoes thing for Spring? Check THESE out:
They’re Candie’s, which are now “sold exclusively at Kohl’s” (barf) for around $55-ish.
This particular pair is a hell of a lot cooler than any of the line’s current styles, which leads me to the conclude they’re . . . → GO ON… A Nineties Take on the Transparent Shoe Trend

 A reader recently asked why I don’t shop at Urban Outfitters.
I don’t know if it’s the music, the faux vintage and/or gimmicky tees, the uber-cute stuff at uber-offensive price points, or that my definition of SALE is rarely in sync with the stores’ reduced-price racks, but . . . → GO ON… Urban Outfitters Scored Resale

 This is an Alice & Olivia Party Dress.
It has a lot of sequins. It gets worn once or twice a year. It costs $440.00.
It is, heretofore, an idiotic purchase.
A party dress is kinda like a going-out top that way: It sits in your closet, collecting guilt, . . . → GO ON… Party Time with Alice & Olivia

 Let’s talk about this vintage-esque top ($11.95, Beacon’s Closet).

I Do Not Heart: Turtlenecks and/or any style of shirt that makes my boobs look bigger than they are.

Okay, okay, so I was going to try to be all environmentally conscious and attempt to buy vegan ankle boots. But when you find Salvatore Ferragamo footwear at Beacon’s Closet that’s both aesthetically superior and more cost-friendly than any of its non-leather counterparts you don’t say . . . → GO ON… Fabulous Ferragamo Boots

In the past, I’ve described leggings as too close to underwear to be thrifted in good conscience. I’d like to retract my position, as I’ve recently come to the conclusion that the sketch-factor of secondhand items has more to do with what they’re made of than . . . → GO ON… The Post Where I Retract My Previous Position On Secondhand Leggings

So. Trovata took Forever 21 to court a few months ago for ripping off its overpriced designs. I’m sure we’re all eagerly awaiting the pending verdict of this crucial case (yawn).
I’m as much a fan of designer copies as I am of getting the real thing . . . → GO ON… An Authentic AND Cheap Trovata Dress
