Gettin My CPW On

Purple (it's hard to tell!) sweater, Forever 21. Dress, Isaac Mizrahi for Target. Belt, Luxury Divas. Boots, White Mountain. Bracelet, Urban Outfitters. Bag, Payless

I don’t think this dress cost more than $35, but I’m determined to bring the cost per wear below the current $8.75. I plan on pairing it with lots of sweaters this fall.

Oh, and here’s a secret: I can’t zip the dress up by myself. The bodice and sleeves are so fitted that I can’t pull the zipper up the top four inches in the back. If I can’t find help, I just leave it unzipped. No one can tell once I’ve thrown a jacket or sweater on top. If I DO find help, I have to be sure that I have someone lined up to get the dress off again, or I’m stuck.
