So to my point here, I checked my favorite collection today which I've stored shopped items for  the past 3 months. I had over 500 items stored, and all but 57 of these items were sold out. What am I getting at here? Am I saying I have an eye for style? My fashion sense is dead-on? No, I am not saying that. I can say I have an eye for what sells, and that is pretty rad.
