I don't think I can express to you how much fun I had reaching back into my closet for the button downs. I could finally worry less about sweating out everything I own and more about which necklace would go best with this skirt. Top & Skirt: H&M ~ Belt: Ann Taylor Factory (taken from a skirt) ~ Shoes: Madewell ~ Necklace: Lou Lou Boutiques ~ Watch: Michael Kors...

Dress off. Like Face Off but without the bloodshed and unfortunate face switching? How about you just go with me, I promise it'll make sense in a minute. Lately I've been running up against the reality that summer is not my season and finding new pieces to wear is a pain in the rear end. Tops have been almost impossible so I decided to switch to dresses in the hope they'd be more enjoyable to shop...

Top: Forever21 ~ Skirt: Dorothy Perkins ~ Belt: Hong Kong ~ Shoes: Target Thankfully I can say my summer top wardrobe has increased by 1, but I'm still missing collared tops. Fall come back to meeeeee!...

Dress (worn as top): Maggy Boutique ~ Skirt & Belt: J.Crew ~ Shoes: Express ~ Bag: Lou Lou Boutiques ~ Necklace: Gift ~ Watch: Michael Kors  Ugh. Wrinkles. I hate them and this skirt produces them in a disturbingly fast amount of time. Also, looking at these pictures makes me realize that the cap sleeve is never gonna be my favorite, but hey - COLOR EVERYWHERE!  ...

Backup singers live in a world that lies just beyond the spotlight. Their voices bring harmony to the biggest bands in popular music, but we've had no idea who these singers are or what lives they lead, until now.   -- from IMDb I first saw the trailer for 20 Feet From Stardom at E Street Cinema when I went to see Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing, and I could tell within 30sec that...

Dress: Taylor (via Nordstrom Rack, same in navy here) ~ Shoes: Nine West (thrifted) At some point I inadvertently put this dress in my 'fancy occasions only' mental box. Luckily I was combing the closet for hot weather options and even with lining, the full skirt and lack of sleeves make this more comfortable than most. Plus since I didn't get any weird looks/comments I'm definitely going to wear...

So I complained about the rain last week, which I'm not apologizing for, because damp moist heat is disgusting. But I can't say 97* full-sun heat was exactly the solution I was looking for. Thanks for NOTHING D.C. Still, In trying to figure out what the heck to wear this week, my friend Jessy came up with a quicky solution (and a skirt loan) - tuck the peplum top I purchased from H&M into my...

 (Clockwise) Lawn Crowd at Wolftrap ~ Munchies ~ A Quick Pic of the Stage ~ My Anthropologie Outfit  1. She & Him, while not my normal concert fare, was a lot of fun. I wore a cute fit and flare dress from Anthropologie, enjoyed some munchies with the bestie, and had my umbrella on hand for the intermittent sprinkles. 2. Hey DC - can we stop with the rain now? I know that you...

Top: J.Crew Factory ~ Skirt: Modcloth ~ Belt: Hong Kong ~ Shoes: Eva & Zoe ~ Watch: Michael Kors ~ Necklace: Gift So....about this outfit. In my head it made total sense - different patterns, but both in shades of blue, with white-ish backgrounds to connect the two. Once I had it on my body though I couldn't help but feel like the execution was questionable. Normally I would just put these...

When people talk about shopping in NY this is what they mean right ;)? I tend to use my trips to stock up on face essentials, because while in DC K-town might be super far away and not really metro accessible, in NY it's just a few blocks away! Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil, $10.99 I know some people swear by the DHC version of this cleanser, but Softymo is slightly cheaper and works just fine...

Happy Fourth of July everyone! I had a full (HOT) day in D.C. eating and drinking on the National Mall that ended with some spectacular fireworks. Though I have to say all the scaffolding on the Washington Monument made me a little sad :-/. And to be completely honest this outfit is not what I was sporting on the day of, lol. As nicely patriotic as this look ended up being, I spent yesterday in a...

I know, I know, back to the super original names but it was all I could think of! Happy Monday! (blech) Dress: Tahari by ASL (from this post) ~ Necklace: Ebay ~ Shoes: Me Too...
