A Pink Dress And A Playlist

Yesterday I was running some errands and stopped by Goodwill and bought a great dress for only $12.99!!! It's usually not my luckiest thrift shop, but what a find! It was right on the front of the rack, just waiting for me.



It's so simple, but the cuffed sleeves and tucks at the shoulder make it really elegant.

One sunny day soon, I'll put it together like this:


Dress: Goodwill on 25th and 6th
Belt: something my sister bought ages ago, who knows where
Bag: vintage Ann Taylor from my mom!!
Shoes: Mood Swings, a tiny fabulous vintage shop on Staten Island, I was told they're from Ecuador, I think... Only $5!!!
Hat: also bought by my sister - last summer in Brighton Beach

P.S. Here's a little mixtape for today, to cheer you up on this horrible cold rainy New York day in May - wtf?! Just 10 songs, but so good. Here's the tracklist:

1. Shocking Pinks - This Aching Deal
2. Whitest Boy Alive - Burning
3. King Khan + the Shrines - Welfare Bread
4. The Shangri-Las - He's A Rebel
5. Belle + Sebastian - We Are The Sleepyheads
6. Oh No! Oh My! - I Have No Sister
7. Chantal Goya - Comment Le Revoir
8. The Kinks - Dedicated Follower Of Fashion
9. The Shaggs - Yesterday Once More
10. Françoise Hardy - La Maison Où J'ai Grandi
Also: SPOTTED! Also on Sunday I saw Taylor Momson/Jenny Humphrey from Gossip Girl at Antiques Garage flea market on 25th checking out vintage dresses with her mom and lil sis. She was wearing what I believe to be  a Chloe dress - white and flowy with a red and blue print - with a black leather motorcycle jacket and slouchy black boots. No I was not starstruck, no I did not try to talk to her, Gossip Girl is lame-o, sorrryyyyy. But it's always fun to see celebrities. Like a year and a half ago I saw Jared Leto at the same flea market. He was wearing silver crocs. There is no way to take someone seriously when they are wearing crocs.
