I remember seeing this sweater at Simons last year, and being immediately drawn by its Ted Baker-esque floral print. Alas, at $70+ for a poly blend, I couldn’t justify the purchase. But then! A few weeks ago, I found the very same sweater at a local consignment store — for under $20. Score. It’s one of my fave things about shopping secondhand: getting second chances at clothes I might not otherwise get to take home.

This is a super basic outfit, but it felt chic nonetheless. Wearing so much black meant that I could take a risk, and pick pretty much any colour of accessories. Baby blue shoes? Don’t mind if I do.
