This blouse, which I stupidly obscured with a scarf, is one of my favorite tops. It's Diane von Furstenburg and my guess is that it retails for at least $250 (for a blouse!). But, lucky me, I used to work next to a fabulous store called Secondi. Located on Connecticut Avenue in DC, it is a consignment shop that sells gently used women's clothing. I am pretty sure they only take certain brands - no Old Navy here. I bought a few things there when I lived in DC, but this is by far my favorite. It was, if I remember correctly, $40. My guess is that it sat on the rack for a while because the tag says it's a size 4 - clearly vanity sized. One day I'll wear an outfit that shows it off a little better... (By the way, let's talk about why some woman out there got rid of a $250+ blouse! Secondi is chock full of stuff that I wouldn't dream of getting rid of. Who spends so much on clothes and then gets bored with them?)
I just calculated that the jacket + jeans + top retails for $675. I paid $153 - just 23% of the original price. Shopping win!
