my piece

Everyone should have a PIECE – a giant piece of statement jewelry that goes with almost anything. I found this one in a heap of sad chipped plastic costume jewelry at Goodwill. The second I saw it I knew it was something special. It was heavy, super interesting, and only $10. I had every intention of putting it in The Hunt Shop closet, but I just couldn’t let this one go. So now it’s my piece. Sorry I’m not sorry.

I’ve worn it many many times. It literally makes any outfit. It looks great with a simple v-neck tee or something fancier. In these pics I was at my husband’s co-worker’s wedding, and as per the usual, I received many compliments on it. I rocked it with a thrifted navy ZARA bubble dress ($4), and my tried and true thrifted Jessica Simpson patent leather nude pumps ($10). The purple pashmina was scooped on 69 cent Saturday for….you guessed it. The entire look was $24.69. I can math!

Speaking of skills, check out my bathroom selfies. There is a hilarious and mortifying story that I would like to share about this ladies room visit….

Sometimes it’s immediately obvious why something has been donated i.e. a gaping rip, but sometimes it takes me a while before I discover the reason. About half way through the wedding I went to the ladies room. When I tried to hike up my dress I realized that the hem of this dress WOULDN’T FIT OVER MY HIPS! It’s a bubble dress meaning it is gathered at the hem. Typically bubble dresses are made of a stretchy fabric; this one was not. This is a horrible design flaw. Shame on you ZARA.

So, to actually use the restroom, I had to unzip the dress and step out of it. This alone would not have been all that bad, but I also had safety pinned my bra to the dress straps to ensure they wouldn’t peek out. Since my bra was attached to the dress, my bra had to go too. I decided to hang the dress on the purse hook in the stall for safe keeping until I was done. OF COURSE, I forgot to lock the stall and someone walked in. There I was hovering over the toilet stark naked except for my undies which were around my knees. I died a little bit. I’m not sure who’s face was more impressive. The best (or worst) part is that I didn’t really know anyone at the wedding. Somewhere out there I’m only known as that weird girl who gets naked to pee.
