I'm back in Connecticut this weekend with an empty, extra large suitcase. I'm visiting my family and bringing back more of my clothes. I've been missing some of my staples and I don't really know why I left them in the first place.
I've literally been dreaming about this teal blazer. I got it off ebay a few years ago. If I never win another ebay bid it's fine, because I hit the jacket jackpot when I stumbled across this. I was searching for vintage plus size blazers. The listing photo did not show all the details of the blazer. I was sold merely by the color and the gold buttons. But when I opened the package and discovered the cut and the exaggerated shoulder, I was so hype. I don't remember what I paid but whatever it was, it was very well worth it.
I've been without all of my statement necklaces for almost 4months. Thats crazy! I've been in DC this entire time with a pair of hoops, my wedding ring, two bracelets and one necklace. I purchased the necklace pictured from my cousin. She sells jewelry she buys wholesale from NY.
My leopard camisole will be coming back to DC with me. It's leopard, it's sheer, and there's some lace. Enough said.
I have a few clutches I have to pack, including this little faux croc Steve Madden joint I got years ago from Macys.
I also grabbed my red Nine West "Max" sling backs. Yea, yea I know I just made a big tadoo about not wearing heals, but every once in awhile I'll grin and bare it. I love these shoes! The buckle hardware, pleasantly reminiscent of the 80's bamboo door knocker earrings, along with the rich red tone and the lux suede, sends me! The best part about these shoes is, between a 75% off clearance sale and my employee discount, I paid only 6 bucks for them. I also bought a black pair. Back then I wasn't aware they came in the turquoise, but for six bucks I would have gotten them too.
As the weather warms up, I anticipate getting out more rediscovering the area and visiting friends. I'm not sure when I will be able to get back to CT to officially move all of my things. So, this go round, I'm doing my best not to leave anything behind that I'll miss too much.
