Bubblegum

When I saw this necklace, I wanted to eat it like candy. Instead, I purchased it and wore it with this outfit... and at least three others that I didn't share.

Tee: Urban Outfitters, $10 // Sweater: Forever 21, $22 // Jeans: Almost Famous via TJMaxx, $18 // Belt: Thrifted, $1 // Necklace: JCPenney, $20 // Sandals: Ciao Bella via TJMaxx, $30

It was sunny and in the fifties yesterday, and it felt like paradise. Though cloudier, it's just as warm today. So, on that note, I'm going to head outside!

Here's what I wore to the show. I considered dressing to match my models more closely but thought it was better this way. Wouldn't want people to think I'm a one-trick pony!

When I woke up this morning, my already nasty cold had worsened, so I decided to go to work late. By the time I rolled out of bed, I wanted to get ready as quickly as possible. Without really thinking, I threw on this outfit. When in doubt (or a hurry), my default combination is a t-shirt, blazer, skinnies and a scarf. I suppose it's pretty predictable, but I tried to keep things interesting with the stripes and floral combo. Isn't the scarf pretty? I have a feeling I'll be wearing it a lot this spring. The pumps were my attempt at making the look more office-appropriate since I'm not really supposed to wear jeans. 

Coverage of the fashion show to come tomorrow!

Fashion Show Tonight!

As I mentioned the other day, I'm styling a run for a local fashion show. Considering how last-minute my participation was, everything is coming together wonderfully! Borrowing clothes from the Social Service League, a local thrift store, I created a collection of casual spring looks. With a light color palette and generous doses of denim and floral, it has a breezy, carefree vibe.

Local folks, you should come! It's tonight at Teller's at 8:00. It's a benefit for Haiti.

Everyone else, stay tuned for pictures and hopefully video!

It occurred to me yesterday that I hadn't shared a picture of Igby in a long time. He's no longer the size of a kitten, but he's still a puppy through and through. Rambunctious and rascally most of the time, sweet and cuddly the rest.
