Dress: Ellen Tracy | Sweater: H&M | Bag: Ted Baker | Sunglasses: Michael Kors | Shoes: Soula (Brooklyn)
Interestingly enough, the last time I wore this Ellen Tracy dress was when I was in DC, which is poetic that I packed it today. There’s nothing particularly fancy about this piece, except the experience behind the garment. I had literally flown in that morning from Sao Paulo to JFK, and went straight onto another plane that took me to DC for meetings, only to realize that I had (shockingly) not packed properly for the remainder of my stay.
Tragically for me, the nearest retail store to my hotel was Filene’s Basement (gasp shock horror!), but it actually worked out quite well in the end. The thing about bargain shopping, for me at least, is that it’s never quite actually a “bargain,” as you end up emptying way more out of your bank account than you anticipated. The reason being, everything seemed like such a fab deal that you basically lose control! (I know I always have this affliction whenever I leave Century 21).
Be that as it may…. I still very much like the way this entire outfit came together (paired with a sweater I bought from, of all places, Mystic Connecticut). Also, I find it very appropriate for a casual office/spring day, wouldn’t you say? My belief still stands… mustard yellow remains to be the best hue on Asian skintones.
