'Some Beauty Peeped Through Lattice of Seared Age'


I don't usually buy things at full price, but this All Saints sweater dress was one of my exceptions.  My excuse to myself: I fell in love with the detailing!  My excuse to the BF: You get your money's worth since it can be worn as a dress and a sweater...(blink, blink)

Wore it with my fav leather skirt that I've worn here, here and here.














What I'm Wearing:
Sweater: All Saints
Leather Skirt: Alice and Olivia
Shoes: Calvin Klein
            Orig.: $790.00
             Paid: $230.00
Earrings: Etsy
Rings: YSL, Made Her Think

I was interviewed at the IFB Conference for Magnum Ice Cream's “Doses of Decadence” video series.

Check out my video here where I talk about my secret indulgence!

What's yours??
