I'm a firm believer in the notion that every woman should own one nice piece. Mine's a pearl bracelet. I'm not talking family heirlooms [[I have earrings my grandpa bought my grandma when he was in Hong Kong on a boat ride from the U.S. to Japan to surprise her after the Korean war]]. And I'm not talking electronic either. I mean one nice dress, accessory, pair of shoes, whatever it may be, that makes you feel like the center of the world.
You know what I mean. That little black dress that, even if you wear it only to
slow dance in your living room with your husband. That locket that shines as bright as the sun the day when you graduated college, when you knew the entire world was open to you. I'm waxing poetic here, but that's what this one piece does to you. It transgresses you, brings you to somewhere so far from where you are, you forget where your feet are.
Now, truth be told: We all want that one piece. And since you're a Drugstore Diva reader, you want that for cheap[[er]]. And this Referral Wednesday does just that.
Rue La La is a two-day online boutique, similar to
Gilt. It's designer items and discount prices. That might not be the tagline, but it sure should be.
There were Fendi bags up the other day, which were going for more than I was willing to pay [[especially since I'm saving for my
Jimmy Choo bag anyway]]. But there were a ton of shirts and shorts and skirt I've seen for reasonable prices -- for that one special piece, at least.
