Eager shoppers scoured the racks in search of the perfect frock, including Sophia and I.
Tables of shoes were lined up by size. Thank goodness the crew at decadestwo was so organized or it would have been chaos.
While Sophia and I both agreed we needed to add another pair of green shoes to the closet, we differed in opinion on which one. No consensus meant no shoe. Feel free to offer your input! My choice, the Philip Lim's on top, Sophia picked the Gucci's on the bottom.
Sophia tried on a fantastic pair of YSL heels but these Jil Sanderss didn't make the cut. I would have loved to pick up a pair of pumps but alas, I am a true 11, making it virtually impossible to purchase shoes on consignment.
Handbags were in constant need of replenishment. Turning my back on a bag meant losing it to the wind. Frequently Sophia asked if I'd seen a bag that disappeared within seconds of the hand release.
I absolutely adored a little necklace with a single gold ball, but couldn't justify it as a wardrobe addition. I wanted it so badly, I regret not buying it! There were plenty of coats and sweaters on the main floor, but Sophia found this one hiding in a back room.
Several people complimented my vintage feather hat, even though a kindly bartender had to pluck a windblown, disoriented bug from its clutches upon arrival. We had a wonderful time but focused on shopping. Events are a great way to network and we may have missed that opportunity with stylist tunnel vision. A designer in attendance engaged an audience showing off one of his designs.
LESSON: Be more vocal. You never know where it may lead.
