The Waiting Game

Jacket | Rebecca Taylor
Dress | Rebecca Taylor
Bag | Mansur Gavriel 

I did not realize until I went to write the caption on the photo above that I was rocking a Rebecca Taylor double feature. I really like her clothes (obviously), which are always fun feminine pieces with interesting details. 

I first encountered this dress at a Nordstrom Rack, and instantly liked the fact that it would be a patterned pocket dress to add to my work collection, but the price was just a little more than I wanted to spend. Pro, it was work appropriate, could pair with a lot of different pieces (blazer, leather jacket, long cardigan) and would look good "winterized" i.e. with tights and boots. Con: it is silk, so dry clean only and I have a lot of dresses. 

I hemmed and hawed and ultimately decided to walk away. Then, almost two months later I found it again at Simply Chic in SF, in my size, and for 30% less than I had initially seen it! I figured it was a sign and purchased right away.

 Do you ever pass in the store and regret it? Have you ever gone back to get something you left behind?
