Outfit: Alexander Wang

outfit december 21 2011

WEARING:
Bordeaux (Anthropologie) skirt
T Luxury cashmere sweater (several years old)
DV by Dolce Vita Jamison booties
Alexander Wang Donna bag (on sale in black at SSENSE)
VKOO Cashmere loop scarf (gifted)

I’m not going to lie, I sometimes regret selling my Alexander Wang Rocco bag. Mostly, I wish I had one of the newer ones with the shoulder strap; it’s so much easier to manage with the shoulder strap. And, I’ve discovered lately that I need a bag with both handles & a longer shoulder strap, otherwise, I just don’t use the bag as much.

Which is why 1. I am selling my J.W. Hulme Linwood bag, and 2. I really don’t regret selling my 1st gen. Rocco THAT much 3. I REALLY want the Alexander Wang Rocco with the clear rivets and 4. why I’m thinking of selling my Alexander Wang Donna bag. But only THINKING. I’m really attached to this bag even though I don’t use it very much anymore. She’s the one that started the Alexander Wang obsession…

What bags have you sold/given away that you sometimes regret getting rid of? Have you ever bought one back after selling it?

Favorite: Opening Ceremony Swimsuit

Are you dreaming of Summer yet? Maybe you’re going on a warm-weather vacation soon? That’s no & no on both counts for me, but swimsuits and resort-wear are popping up everywhere lately, so why not play along? This Opening Ceremony swimsuit is amazing – so bombshell, yet modern at the same time:

Favorite: A.L.C Back drape sweater

by grechen on December 21, 2011 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

This A.L.C. sweater is similar to my T by Alexander Wang drape-back cardigan (seems like everyone is doing this now) which I really love – it’s so unexpected from the front, but fits so nicely and adds a great drape to the piece:

Iosselliani is quickly becoming one of my favorite jewelry designers; I love the heavy/delicate/unique styles and that they’re not afraid to take risks (insect jewelry?). This bracelet at Zoe (use code GZ10 for 10% off) is perfect for wearing everyday & so pretty to look at:
