I have a bad cold, so I’m not hitting the stores to check out the post-holiday sales. But I always have enough energy to browse online.<\/p>\n

I like this asymmetrical top even though it’s terrible for jewelry. A necklace is out of the question and earrings might be too. I try to avoid clothes that don’t work with all types of jewelry but at least I could load up on rings and bracelets. Since it’s not available in my size so it doesn’t really matter. Just window shopping!<\/p>\n

I love this vintage Sarmi dress from Vintageous<\/a>, but it’s a little too damaged for me. I’ve done the stained-vintage-dress look to death. It would be nice to have something without a big splotch on it for a change.<\/p>\n

I’m crazy about this sequined dress by Antik Batik. I already got it in silver in a size medium, and I ordered the gold in a size small. I’ll keep whichever one fits better. The medium dress is not as short as it looks in these photos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I encountered horrible customer service when I ordered the silver from ASOS.com<\/a>; the gold is coming from Net-a-Porter<\/a>, with whom I previously had such a bad returns experience that I swore I’d never order from them again. So you can see I really like this dress to be willing to put up with the abuse!<\/p>\n

As for shoes,I just did one of my periodic checks of Bluefly<\/a> and eBay for fish feet<\/a> in my size. No luck. It’s starting to look like my scaly Louboutins may be “the ones that got away.” Alas. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
