Wearing Now: Working Girl

Turtleneck sweater: Valentino - $35 via eBay (I'm on a roll; join the ride)
Pants: J. Crew - $24 (here)
Suede jacket: Elie Tahari - $40 via Nordstrom Rack (similar here)
Belt: Calvin Klein - $20 via Outlets
Bag: MICHAEL Michael Kors - $100 via Marshalls (similar here)
Shoes: Vera Wang Lavender - $50 via Marshalls (real deal; similar here)
Sunglasses: Fendi - $80 via Nordstrom Rack

First day of work felt less like a job and more like utter fun, though this makes me wonder when the other shoe will drop (I just love microbiology). My boss has a penchant for fancy teas and coffees and I, with my chronic tea addiction, will probably be the sole reason for the increase in the break room budget. So to be less of a mooching d-bag I'll bring in my own stash :) 

In other not so newsworthy news, the weather cooled significantly after this post expressing dissatisfaction over chicks dressing in leather and wool in summer weather. It's finally fall here in DC - 55 degrees when I leave for work in the morning and 65-70 when I return. I broke out this Valentino sweater I bought on eBay for only $35. It's been online for a while (silly seller misspells brand name and I walk away with a great deal via best offer). 

Have you gotten any good deals lately?

  1. Only $35? That's so awesome! I've had some good luck at Goodwill in my area (mostly J Crew sweaters with new tags on them) but nothing as good as this.

  2. Yes I did get a good deal recently but probably not as good as the $35 valentino sweater I am seeing in this post.

    OK so I am now going to confess my recent good deal...I found a Chloe Marcie Handbag at Marshall's for 45% off the regular price. It's all leather :)

  8. HAHAHAHAHA at "In other not so newsworthy news, the weather cooled significantly after this post expressing dissatisfaction over chicks dressing in leather and wool in summer weather."

    Such wonderful news that you're loving your new job! Having fun on the job is rare, but a clear sign that this is the right path for you :) That Valentino sweater is another perfect example of your eBay expertise - gorgeous!
