Darn you, Gilt Groupe!...

Ack, I did it again. I went a little nutso on Gilt Groupe. This morning's sale was Shoshanna and I happen to really like some of her stuff. I bought this green paisley dress. I wasn't so sure about it, especially since the way they had it styled was with bare legs and black pumps. Not really that hot. So, I've decided to try out Polyvore (clearly, I'm no pro with this thing yet) and here's a couple ways I'd wear it...and suddenly feeling better about the purchase:

Shoshanna Paisley Dress

On a side note, remember when Shoshanna was just this young NY party girl who made the headlines by dating Jerry Seinfeld? Then she became a designer all the sudden? But, I liked that she was targeting her line for curvier women (like herself) that flattered all shapes. Now suddenly she's this rich, successful designer and since she's all thin, her clothes suddenly aren't all that focused towards the blubber-set. Ack. Thus, I bought the baggiest dresses she had on sale at Gilt. *le sigh*


PS - if you're wondering if the prices on Gilt are worth it, both dresses I bought today were $50-$80 cheaper than their prices on another discount site, Bluefly.com.

I vote for that cute leather biker jacket!

That's because GQ was quality. Of course, we'd get along!

I heart Gilt Groupe... and I'd say that you'd rock the paisley dress. I can see you with the leather jacket too.

I haven't gotten anything via gilt groupe yet ... i'm too afraid! hey, I have to ask you your opinion. Have you ever bought clothes from Victoria's secret? Some of their clothes is kind of nice, but I feel like they are made for really tall tall thin people, not short petites like us. there's a shirt I kind of want, but I'm scared to order from them, what do you think?
