The Fashion Week Window Shop

January 23, 2013April 8, 2015Leave a comment

So, friends…as the PR chair for NWA fashion week 2013, I’ve been asked to blog in support of the local participating boutiques. We are posting my introduction today. I’ve copied it below but go to the site to keep up!

Hi to all the sartorially preoccupied of NWA, my name is Payton (Rosenzweig) Bridewell and I am the window shopper.
Since Fashion Week 2013 is right around the corner, it’s time to join me for a peek in the proverbial windows of the participating boutiques/designers/shops. Once a week, I’ll be highlighting the shops with shows. I’ll be perusing their racks, choosing a few pieces to take home and styling them with what I already have in my closet – granted… I am something of a clotheshorse. I’ll show you some of the wonderful things you can find shopping in NWA and how to wear them.
I’ve rounded up a local team of skilled professionals to help me and we can’t wait to share what we’ve done. Find me on instagram @mspayton to stay tuned!

What I Wore: Say It Ain’t Sheer

January 11, 2013April 10, 20131 Comment

what I wore: dress – BILA, booties – forever21 by way of Plato’s Closet, bow necklace – mae’s, belt – thrifted,

So I found this dress at the goodwill and I knew it would be much cooler if the rather dowdy and wrinkled slip were removed. I did just that, wore another shorter slip and voila!

What I Wore: Purple Peplum

what I wore: blazer – arpeja (seen here with matching skirt / I found the exact one on etsy here), cropped trousers – jcrew, heels – jessica simpson

I love this purple blazer with its giant shoulder pads. It’s not something you can wear all the time but once in a while it’s the perfect addition.

While I realize your life does not revolve around what I might have worn, I do apologize for leaving you hanging over the holidays. I was ill/traveling/hope you’ll forgive me. Posts probably will be a bit more sporadic as I’m working on some exciting stuff that I will share soon and some not so exciting stuff that I won’t bore you with. Happy 2013 & thank you for visiting.

This jacket is pretty major. I’m very excited about it. The dress is supposed to have a mid-calf hem but I used some hem tape to shorten and really loved the results.
