On the Hunt for...Karen Walker

I kind of have a massive crush on New Zealand designer Karen Walker's clothes.

They're feminine but still really interesting and offbeat.

The cuts are often unusual and, somehow, simultaneously sharp and soft. I wish I could wear things like this every day. But as is the norm for the things we truly covet, this line is bit pricey for my budget. So today I wanted to see if I could fulfill my Karen Walker fix on the cheap, went on eBay, and found some really fantastic, perfect-for-right-now items. I love this classic-with-a-twist puffed-sleeve trench, these fun wooden star earrings, a bow-front tee, and especially deeply, this insanely good navy-and-white dress.
