Going to a concert tonight, so pumped!



My favorite singer in the whole world Regina Specter is playing at Constitution Hall in Washington D.C.....so pumped!

So I wanted to wear something flirty that would also be good for concert going in the evening.


The silk number is from Banana Republic and I paired a cream silk shirt underneath for a little color.

oversize dress shirts...

So I got this oversized dress shirt over a Nordies half yearly sale and needed some ideas for what to do with it. So after about an hour in my closet digging out some sweaters, belts and other combos...Here's some ideas for how to wear it:

black and white dinner party


My favorite hostess of the mostess Pam is hosting a black and white dinner party tonight and the requirement: wear black and white only.


Not only will all be looking like giant oreo cookies, but we also will probably be eating them...


So i brought out the black tights, boots and the sweater and went with this. I wanted only white to be in the skirt so it stands out.

French inspired embroiderer patterns continue to remain in style. I've worn this shirt a couple times this summer and still think it works as a fall option.


Funny story: as I was running errands at bed bath and beyond i noticed i was matching the nice selection of bedspreads they had on sale with this same pattern...haha


...and the table clothes, towels, shower curtains...

who says furniture patterns can't be wearable?

big interview today...

We have a big interview today with a special guest, so I wanted to look my best.


A tight black skirt and nice pressed blouse is timeless, but to make it a little more hip I added this fun grey wool tuxedo jacket from urban that I'm seeing everywhere this fall.

sweater dresses


I love, love sweater dresses...


So here's a new one from Anthro which I think is pretty classic, especially the loose collar and cuffed sleeves...way cute! I think grey matched with black is the best combo for this. Many options to make it work appropriate: like those heel black boots for one. Add some leggings or tights and viola!

The belt is optional, but I think it pulls the outfit together.


bring on the cold weather baby...

Monday mondays

I thought this flowery blouse deserved to paired with some tight dark wash jeans and my favorite purple flats.

Added a little black sham cover up and I think it works fairly well together....right?
