Too Bad

It looks like Adrienne Vittadini is going out of business, which makes me very sad. I've been a loyal customer, especially this past season, when it was getting hard to find flattering and not ridiculous fashionable clothes. This leaves me with very little outside of Saks and Neiman's, and there's only so much Elie Tahari that one can wear.

What I'm Wearing

In a season that seems committed to making us re-live the worst fashion moments of the 80s, It is very refreshing to have somewhere to buy real clothes. The kind that will not be relegated to the back of the closet before shamefully donated to the nearest Goodwill, and that will not make looking at pictures from this year with a "What the hell was I thinking?" cringe.

I've always like Adrienne Vittadini, but this fall/winter it's been my salvation. About 50% of my new clothes were purchased there. They have a big sale at the moment, so it's a good time to check them up, both online and in store. For the online shoppers, they mostly run true to size, but the XS is just a bit roomy (I just bought their black wrap dress, and I don't have to use the zipper to get it on and and off, but since the fabric is fluid and drapes nicely, it doesn't really matter).
