June 1, 2011: Off Season

Some people might think that tweed is one of those things that should only be worn in the winter. I am not one of those people (obvi.) Perhaps, it's because I don't stores my "winter clothes" in the summer and vice versa. With this skirt specifically it's probably because I picked the it up while I was in California so that must mean it's for warmer weather, right? Either way I will ignore the funny looks I get for wearing tweed when it's 80°+ outside. What are some seasonal barriers that you ignore?

• Bottom: rainbow tweed skirt, Lafatyette 148 via Saks

Purchases: October 2010

While I was on vacation last month I definitely did some shopping but, mostly in search of arbitrary souvenirs for family and friends. On one of our shopping excursions we wandered into a mall where there Saks Fifth Avenue was closing; yes, that's right closing. Everything (even the wall fixtures) was on crazy sale and I picked up a little something for myself. I am a total sucker for tweed and could not resist this fab Lafayette 148 skirt at 80% off the already reduced price; yes, that's right 80%. It ended up being about $23.00! I love it when I find ridiculous sales like this, it makes it so hard not to shop!
