Work, jaunt through Central Park on the way home, and a little bit of thrifting…is it a blessing or a curse that I live right across the street from a thrift shop?

The Outfit…

Grey Tee - American Apparel

Orange Silk Pencil Skirt - J Crew

Royal Blue Scarf - Thrifted

Aviators - Vendor on Canal Street

Chain Bracelet with Blue Stones - Handmade by PrincessL!

Faux Lizard Pumps - Isaac Mizrahi for Target

orange

For months, I dog-eared the page of the J Crew catalog with this skirt on it.  I lusted after it on the website.  I once longed for it on a mannequin at the SoHo store.  But $98 for a bright orange skirt (totally memorable and therefore not an everyday wear)?!  No way.  Last week, I checked the final sale section of the website for the umpteenth time, and voila!  My size was magically available in the delicious tangerine of my dreams.  I wore it the day after it arrived in the mail, naturally.
