I was almost able to title this post “Another Outfit by VS.” I buy bought, a LOT of clothing from the Victoria’s Secret catalog and can sometimes dress head to toe (or ankle) in their Moda International brand, as I did on this day last December. (No, I don’t know why my face is deformed in the photo. For all of you who thought I was vain, now you know that I’m not because no vain person would ever direct someone to a picture of themselves this hideous.) Today’s VS domination was spoiled by my loss of the pink tank I originally bought to wear with these pants. No great loss, as I like this tank better. (And really, who needs TWO pale pink cowl-neck tanks?) I only have one pair of shoes from VS, my lime green pumps, and they wouldn’t have matched.

Now that I’ve discovered Forever 21 (for trend items) and Steve and Barry’s (for basics), I don’t buy so much from VS anymore. I still drool over the catalog, though.
