What I Wore: Chevron

what I wore: dress – ann taylor, flats – go jane, bracelet – dannijo, sunglasses – asos

I love chevron. It feels really funky, I also love these comfortable green flats from go jane. Sometimes when I wear a shorter hemline to the office, I try to tone it down with flats so it’s not soooo much leg.

I love that this sweet black dress can be dressed up or down. You never can have too many black dresses.

What I Wore NWAFW: Lamé Perfection

what I wore: dress – unlabeled vintage from trendy mindy’s, heels – nine west, earrings – forever 21, bag vintage,
Last Friday at NWAFW, I wore a dress I’ve been dying to wear since I purchased it a few months ago. It’s gold/green/blue lame with sequins and a nude panel, so it’s not exactly the kind of thing you can wear out on a random night. My husband had to practically sew me into it (and rip me out!) but it was totally worth it. There was really no better place to don it than a fashion function and no less than one minute after I walked through the door, a girl asked if she could take my picture. Talk about validation!

What I Wore: Baby Blue

what I wore: dress – vintage parade from cheap thrills, necklace – 30s vintage (a present from my hubby) found @ mae’s, platforms – go jane *please excuse the (clean) laundry in the background…it was late

Last night I went to the Shop Local night of the inaugural Northwest Arkansas Fashion Week. I have to say, I was really impressed and am now so excited about Friday night when some of my favorite boutiques will be showing. Obviously we don’t have as many designers as a big city would, so the shows are all philanthropic and benefit local charities. I’m really proud of the great work that went into making this event happen and I can’t wait to see how it takes off!

What I Wore: Black on Black

what I wore: dress – tj maxx, jacket – bcbg, heels – gianni bini, glasses – shop ultra, watch – bcbg, bangle – kate spade, earrings – forever 21

This outfit was a random idea I had before going to bed the night before. I thought – why don’t I tie a sash around the neck of a button down top or dress? So, I did and for once, it worked!

What I Wore: The Marine Layer

what I wore: dress – vintage via cheap thrills, platforms – go jane, earrings – charm & chain
This lovely little number can be worn many ways thanks to the sash that can be wrapped inside or out. I love a good kaftan!

What I Wore: Pumped Up Kicks

what I wore: dress – vintage from grey dog (also seen here), shoes – go jane
So…I’ve been really into my new orange shoes from gojane. I love the idea of a girly dress and sneakers. There’s nothing more comfortable.

What I Wore: Breaking the Rules

what I wore: dress – vintage paper white from cheap thrills, slip – target, platforms – forever 21
I’ve never adhered to the no white after labor day rules. No, maybe I wouldn’t wear a strapless white shift with sandals in the snow, but that’s really about practicality and not about following set guidelines. On the first day of March, the forecast was for 74 degrees. I am a self-proclaimed sun worshiping summer lover and I took the opportunity to wear a white lattice dress. I knew the minute my eyes locked on this dress that it would have to be mine. You know that moment when you have the internal argument with yourself about how much money you can possibly let yourself spend? Luckily it was $18. And I have to tell you this is the very best silhouette for ANY WOMAN. Ladylike & feminine, it accentuates the waist, shows the legs and covers the arms. PERFECTION.
