First, I'm going to apologize for being MIA. With going back to school, my Little Guy and his myriad of activities that I am primary chauffeur for, and oh yeah, that little thing called work, I've been a little bit preoccupied. But I'm here and I've got a bunch of posts lined up that will keep me present in the blogosphere for the next couple of weeks.
First up, Fashion Night Out was a couple of weeks ago and moi, being of a fashion-minded nature, had to attend. Between some lovely champagne bubbly at Club Monaco (love that store), great deals at J.Crew, and an excellent cause at hand, Fashion Night Out was a hit and I can't wait to attend next year!
Live models in the window at Louis Vuitton. Ugh, to be tall and thin and modeling such gorgeous bags!
Hubs trying his best Zoolander impression, whilst carrying my purchases and keeping our Little Guy busy. You gotta love a man who can multi-task like that!
A copy of the flier that acted as our map. It outlined every activity, deal and highlight of the night.
My purchase of the night at J.Crew. A great dress that was on the sale rack. I went right by it at first, thinking I didn't need a dress like that. I had just told myself earlier that day that I needed to stock up on basics, not fabilis pieces. (hmmm... writing that down just now, it didn't sound as great as it did in my head when I originally had the thought. Not the best wardrobe strategy.)
Well, with a simple black eyelet dress in hand, I strolled around the rest of J.Crew looking for pieces that would go with this dress instead of the one I had in my hand. At that point, I knew it was meant to be mine, so I put the other dress back and grabbed this one instead.
With some help from the CS, I found the most perfectly destroyed leather belt. Why oh why, ladies, do we covet things that look this old and ugly. My saving grace is that it was on sale. But I find myself reaching for it over and over since I've bought it, so, perhaps it wasn't a crazy purchase after all.
Paired with a cardi from Tar-jhay, my Fashion Night Out purchase makes its debut.

I love that you got The Hubs to go to an event called, Fashion Night Out, and that he carries your bags and watches the boy. If I asked my husband to attend this with me he would probably bust out with a, "You trippin', sista."
ReplyDeleteLove the dress.
Sadly I couldn't get him to dress up, though. Brother Man attended a fashion event looking like a surfer boy. But that's okay. I love him for keeping it real.
ReplyDeleteI have the same exact dress and paired it with a smiple green belt. I think it's such a versatile piece, love that we have much of the same wardrobe :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute dress! Looks great with the Tar-jay cardi!
