CHANNELING AUDREY HEPBURN...

This Saturday, on the way to doing anything else but shopping, I found myself at the Goodwill on 25th Street off 6th ave NYC. I walked in to take a peek at their new inventory...totally NOT expecting to see anything I might like (I lie to myself constantly). Of course I found something I liked will the obsession ever stop?

Like most other Goodwill stores in upscale areas of town, you will occasionally stumble upon designer duds like Chanel, Diane Von Furstenberg, Fendi and Marc Jacobs marked down to nearly pennies on the dollar! I say all this to say take your butt to a Goodwill every once in a while...just for your own good will.

Also, if you are in the area, keep in mind that this particular Goodwill will except returns in exchange for store credit which is ALWAYS good to know (yessss)! 

Unfortunately, (maybe fortunately) while I didn't end up buying anything designer this time around, I  did see the MOST fantastic rendition of an Audrey Hepburn dress with a matching jacket. I would pair it with the following......

Wool dress and matching jacket $25

Gold tone necklace (can also be worn as a belt) Jack's 99 Cent Store $0.99

Michael Kors watch $195

Earrings (bought 12 years ago) random jewelry store about $100

I would also pair this with a white shirt...as the fall season progresses



White Calvin Klein shirt Filene's Basement $20

Egyptian style necklace (I bought about 5 years ago) JC Penny $25

Matching earrings (I bought about 5 years ago) JC Penny $15

Bracelet (I bought about 6 years ago) Bolton's $15

***HUGE DISCLAIMER***

When you are shopping at a Goodwill or any second hand / vintage store PLEASE make sure you check all your garments for small holes, tears AND stains! After I bought this dress I noticed that it has a few small holes (from moths). I will have it repaired as best as I can considering the circumstances....

***HUGER DISCLAIMER***

Bedbug ALERT!! If you live in NYC please MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE that you keep your new garments tightly sealed in a plastic bag until you are able to go to the dry cleaner.



Let me know if you stumble across any deals this weekend! Happy Shopping!!
