Sometimes when a dress really makes a statement (like my yellow lace Lucille dress from J.Crew), you tend not to want to wear it as often because it's so "memorable." I think they key is to have fun with the piece, everytime adding one or two different elements. This time, I switched out the fabric belt the dress came with to this hot pink ...

What I’ve Been Wearing: Workout & Gym Edition
I've been keeping up pretty well with my weekly workouts lately, exercising about 4 days a week. That includes gym workouts, home workouts and my once-a-week Bar Method class. Right now my goal is to heighten the intensity of my workouts because I realized that I wasn't in the shape I want to be in when I got a free workout with a trainer as ...
Pleats, Please
Today I wore my Banana Republic accordian pleat skirt and it continues to be one of my favorite new pieces. You can see how I styled it previously in my Banana Republic Desk to Dinner post. Even though it is more of an A-line shape, it wears just as well as a classic pencil skirt and is just as versatile. Fuller skirts with pleating ...
Black on Black
I don't know what got into me this morning. Maybe it's the fact that I saw a personal trainer at my new gym on Sunday and realized that I am not as in shape as I thought I was (and can barely walk today)....and maybe it's that I need to curb my sugar addiction... or maybe it's because it was gloomy out...but I decided to wear all black. GASP! It's ...
Shorts That Go the Distance
My bright purple J.Crew chino shorts are arguably one of my best summer purchases. They're comfy, versatile and fun. So fun, that I seem to live in them on weekends. Today was no exception. I met with Magen, Monica and Mishelle (whoa, that's a whole lotta "Ms") for brunch at Tiny Boxwoods. If you haven't been there, it's amazing! I had ...
Double Take
I had a work-related event to attend after regular office hours Friday evening, so there was no "casual Friday" for me (I don't really remember the last time I had a casual Friday recently,come to think of it).I decided to re-wear my J.Crew Lucille dress in the emerald color again. I can already tell this dress is going to be one that is ...
Bright As the Sun
Hello, yellow. As I mentioned in my post where I got to rent a dress from Houston's New for the Night, yellow is a color that has always been out of my comfort zone. But when I saw that J.Crew's Lucille dress also came in a sunny yellow lace, I couldn't resist (I got it on sale, too!) Dress- J.Crew (buy it here)Belt- ...
The Grass is Greener
It ain't easy being green. Okay, that's a lie. We all know by now that green is the color of summer...or maybe just MY color of summer, but either way, it IS easy being green..because the vibrant color suits so many skin tones.Here's my latest green pairing... Shirt- Talula @ AritziaSkirt- J.CrewNecklace- Bauble Bar lime ...
Lace for Summer
It may seem odd to wear a half sleeve top in the height of summer, but when it's lacey, it's airy and perfectly suited to keep you cool (though, in my case, I had to use a heating pad at my desk all day because of the office's frigid A/C). Imagine how much money all companies could save if they turned the temperature up just two degrees in ...
Orange You Glad I Heart Coral? & Bubble Necklaces for $19.99!
I always shyed away from coral and orange colors, but this summer, I've embraced coral, blood orange and everything in between. In fact, two of my most recent outfits have featured pretty pops of orange: In addition to adding lots of pink, green and blue to my wardrobe this summer, I'm glad I also stepped out of my comfort zone ...
