  There are many times that I pick new pieces based on ones that I have at home; not purposely. At the time of the purchase I do it without thinking knowing that I really adore the piece for some reason (and usually the reason is because I already own it). Here is a perfect example of two very similar black lace dresses one from Diane von Furstenberg and the other a gift from my boyfriend (and from Topshop). Do you find yourself buying pieces similar to ones you already own?

Sequins & Lace

This past weekend New England was lucky enough to get gorgeous weather. I was able to go out without a coat so I thought I would finally wear this dress with no tights for a night on the town. I never have been a girl who wears sequins or lace, but lately I feel as though I cannot get enough of them both. The lace dress was perfect for a hot date night with the low scoop neck in the back and full length exposed zipper. I was gifted the sequins clutch and at first did not love it but have grown a liking to it. It holds a good amount of stuff and adds a little shine to any outfit.
