If you can overlook the tired face, messy hair and depressing parking lot backdrop, you'll see that I'm wearing an outfit! And, no, that is not the same plaid shirt as the one seen in my previous two posts. I'm not a one-trick pony, I promise. The button-up is not what I want to talk about, anyway. It's the sweater that's new and exciting! At the Weardrobe Conference, the bloggers got a chance to meet representatives from Gilt Groupe, a members-only website that offers designer items at a major discount for limited windows of time. While I've done plenty of browsing, this sweater is my first purchase! Sweaters, in my opinion, are the most important type of garment this time of year. My collection was in desperate need of an update, and I love embellishment, so this little number won me over right away. Haven't checked out Gilt? Use my invite code!
