Look of Day: Relapse

"Let’s be honest, that last Relapse CD was ehhhh”
I am a recovery addict, and it was hard habit to break. I spent all my money on it. I couldn't get enough. I went back weekly for more. And then when I graduated college I had to quit, cold turkey. Abercrombie, you had me hooked. I couldn't have the sweater, without the cami, without the jean skirt, without the matching flip flops (Kara I know you are right here with me on this). I had to end my incessant need for all things Abercrombie. After my complete obsession I have avoided the place, but this past weekend I relapsed. And now I am kind of happy I did, because I picked up a couple button ups and a really cute bandau/corset bra on clearance. old habit die hard I suppose.

Hi, my name is Amber, and I'm a recovering Abercrombie-holic.
Abercombie Classic Top, Abercrombie Morgan bra/top, J Brand jeggings, Postcards+Love Oh Deer Necklace and Cynthia Vincent for target Wedges.
Yay for oldies but goodies, moose and deer.

  2. LOL I love it. I actually wandered in there today to check out all there cute summer dresses and I was so annoyed...the damn things are so flippin short! And I am not tall! Why make such a cute piece that is nearly unwearable as a dress! And I would not have worn something that short at 20 so I am not going to start at 28.

  3. Haha it's so funny that you post this because I too used to be an Abercrombie addict. I remember when I first went to college, I thought Abercrombie was like the best "designer" ever. Haha. Oh how times have changed.

  10. I cannot handle the loud music in Abercrombie anymore :( But when I browse online I often find lots of cute stuff that I would love to own! I think this relapse isn't too bad ;)

  11. Switching from abercrombie to american eagle greatly sated my cravings with less of a dent to my bank account. I think there is a twelve step program for this, by the way.
