I know I've reiterated it again and again, but I don't really care much about designer clothes. The main reason for this apathy is that I'm all about shopping on a budget. That doesn't mean I don't admire or draw inspiration from designer garments. And, if given the chance to snag a designer piece within my means, I'll jump on it! There is a certain level of quality and artfulness that comes with designer clothes.

So, when Gilt had a super sale on Marc by Marc Jacobs, I knew I had to get something! This quirky yellow top with basket-weave details was one of the items left in my size, so I grabbed it on a whim. It's pretty big on me, but I figure the A-line, trapeze-y shape kind of masks that. I'm still glad I got it. Do you own designer pieces? Which is your favorite? Or what is your dream purchase?
