Must stop buying things

And I will. Starting right now. But I had no choice with this Helmut Lang top; we had history. I fell in love with it last spring, but it came only in this institutional blue-y white that made me look like I was wearing a pillowcase. I was disappointed, but also not. Because sometimes, isn’t it kind of a relief when when a fantastic piece that costs more than you wish it did falls flat in the dressing room,  and temptation just slips away?  Today, however, as I was flipping through the racks at the Helmut Lang store on Madison Avenue (where I only was because I had a doctor’s appointment nearby! Swear!) I saw it in black. And in black, it is a triumph: sexy, slouchy, I-just-naturally-look-this-cool-all-the-time perfection.

    “Must stop buying things” is what I text to my sister on a regular basis. Love the top.

    I love it. But how does it look if you don’t have such lovely thin thighs? Do you wear it with jeans? My eye is all in love with the look of the model, but I don’t have that fierce lower half!

    You need a Cos in NYC, and soon! Wait, maybe that doesn’t help with the shopping habit. But it will be friendly on your wallet.

    You had to have that one. Otherwise, why would you have found it in black? The cosmos was telling you something, obviously.

    Love. It.
