Dress Mate

When I was scouting H&M Herald Square last week, checking out their plethora of hats, I noticed a section on the left side of the first floor to the right of the registers. Everything looked slightly...old. In a good way. Mixed up with the fauxberry trench and some droopy Aladdin pants were some very interesting items with a big retro feel.

I couldn't get out of that little area and lucky for me because that's where I found my dress mate. Yes, I have a dress soul mate: it's stylish but shapeless, can be thrown over anything, looks good under everything, is in a dark neutral color and couldn't make me happier unless it came with a trust fund.

Hello, shapeless lover ($49.90):

I'll put on tights and take you to work;

Or I'll tart you up. You know, net stockings, killer heels;















Like a good dress mate, you'll get along well with my friends, Fauxberry;

And Hippie Faux Poncho, $59.90. Acid green acrylic sweater straight out of a yard sale (actually, 26% mohair, 27% polymide and 47% acrylic).



Go check out that first floor in Herald Square and have some fun.
