Eighteen

Title refers to amount of money spent on this outfit. Minus the bag, which was a present from my mother, who thought that it was time her 20-year-old daughter have a sturdy designer purse. I find my favorite things often have some underlying food-related quality that fuels my attraction (I am a bit of a glutton). The rich dark chocolate leather and gold accents remind me of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and, therefore, have me drooling, haha.

As you may have noticed, we are a festive bunch on Broad Street and we busy ourselves with reworking fifty cent garland into as many seasonal symbols as possible. These interlocking hearts chill on our living room wall.

Want to know a secret? My knee highs are actually two pairs of legwarmers layered over one another.

Want to know another (less creative and possibly idiotic) secret? Those loafers are a size 10. I am an 8. They cost $9. I figured things would even out somehow, but until then I wear my old ballet toe pads with them so they fit. Hahah, oy vey.
