'The Fault, Dear Brutus, Is Not In Our Stars'


Was so good with keeping the credit cards in the wallet and the wallet in the bag (although truthfully, I have committed to memory no less than 3 card numbers) wink wink.

Bored to tears one day, I happened to click on the Asos sale page, thinking nothing good would be left in my size (since it was the last day of the sale - a tactic which only rarely works) and sure enough, this cropped suede top was there for the taking, in my size and for only $34.

Now I ask you, is there fault in the purchase? No, my dear ladies and my exasperated BF, I think not!











What I'm Wearing:
Suede Crop Top: Asos
Dress: Anthropologie (also worn here)
Shoes: Steve Madden
Necklace: Jewel Mint
Rings: A Peace Treaty, YSLPin It

    Definitely a great buy! Cool touch with the dress under it. I slipped up and bought a couple of things on sales from Anthropologie. Oh well! lol.
