Fashion SCORE!

While most of the people I know were enthralled in the World Cup, I experienced s serious “score” of my own, a “fashion score” that is.

I work on a University campus, so imagine my surprise when I popped into a clothing exchange store, to call it a Consignment shop would be a stretch…so imagine my surprise to see a Hermes dress hanging on the racks!

I simply had to snatch it up.

download-128Can you imagine my utter delight to realize it kind of fit perfectly?

download-127What can I say, sometimes in life the fashion Gods are on your side…and also, “SCORE!”  Now, how do you say that in French?

Project Island Runway

Pretty soon, if not now, I’ll be taking my fashion cues from my daughter’s, a.k.a mini fashionistas.  Especially after they recently attended Cheryl Fudge’s Nantucket Fashion Camp.
