Awesome from an Unexpected Source

Shopping for me usually goes two ways- one, I impulse buy things because they are deeply on sale (like the white necklace in this picture, which was $2.50 and goes with everything I own it seems). Two, I have an idea that's fairly specific in my head and I look until I find it (my leather jacket).



More rarely I see something amazing and just know before I even put it on that I can't walk away from it- like the lilac patent-leather peep-toe pumps from Nordstrom that I found in February with Stephan, or my black WESC jacket. This dress was one of those things- I love the very mini length, the 3/4 length sleeves, the amazingly soft and stretchy fabric, the v-neck, the black-and-white palette... it manages to be classic and novel at the same time. Probably another short dress was the last thing I actually needed, but love at first sight just defies logic.
