All Dressed Up (kind of) and No Place To Go

The other night was our Southern Blog Society quarterly meet up at BLT Steak in Atlanta.  On a good day with no traffic and perfect weather conditions it's an hour and a half drive from where I live in Athens.  Well, the weather was far from perfect and the traffic was terrible.  I was about 3/4 of the way there when the bottom fell out and the rain got so bad that I couldn't see and traffic was at a standstill.  I realized that by the time I got to the meet up with the conditions the way they were it would be over and honestly I didn't want to continue to drive into the storm so I turned around and went back home.  But at least I got some good outfit pics before I left the house and the rain started!

I have a thing for bow blouses, I have a thing for distressed denim and I have a thing for leopard print anything so putting them all together in one outfit and adding a pop of color in a fun bag makes for the perfect outfit in my book.  I'd wear a version of this combo every day if I could.  My youngest daughter surprised me with these shoes the other day.  She inherited my love for thrift/consignment shopping and came across these leopard peep-toe wedges at one of our favorite consignment shops for a steal.  They were not in her size but in mine so she got them for me as a little treat!  Peep-toes are perfect for showing off a fun pedi!

Leather For Summer

I love leather (and faux leather) in any shape or form ~ skirts, tops, dresses, bags, shoes, pants, joggers, details, leggings, vests, jackets, shorts... the list goes on and on.  I think it adds a touch of edge and sophistication to any outfit.  I was really into leather pants and leggings this past fall and winter so of course I had to find a less hot alternative for spring and summer and I found it in the form of shorts.  They are so easy to dress down with a simple men's T and flats or dress up, like I did here, with a silk tank and heels. I wear these shorts so much I also bought them in camel and in white.  Look for them on the blog soon!

What I'm Wearing ~
Faux Leather Shorts: Forever 21
Silk Tank: Thrifted (splurge, save)
Lace-up Cage Sandals: BCBGeneration via TJMaxx ~ I wear these shoes about 3-5 times a week! TJMaxx had them last week in tan and I ALMOST caved... (I have this pair in white and they are just as comfortable as the pair I'm wearing)
Bag: Tory Burch (last season, current version here and canvas version here)
Sunnies: Coach via TJMaxx (identical)
Necklace and Bracelets: c/o Mes Bijoux etc
Lips: Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain in Sweetheart Valentine
Tan: Suave Visible Glow Gradual Self Tanner (I'm on my third tube. It's so easy to use and gives you a hit on color without turning you orange!)

free fab'rik, Blogger Buddies and LBJ's

Last night was the free fab'rik Charity Event at the AmericasMart Atlanta.  I was really excited for a night out, fabulous fashion for a great cause and hanging out with some of my blogger buddies!  Of course when you are going to a fashion event, especially one in Atlanta, you have to bring your fashion A-game!  Jumpsuits are quickly becoming my event go-to's.  From wedding showers, graduation parties, hosting duties and fashion events, my jumpsuits are on heavy rotation!  The first jumpsuit I bought was this black menswear-inspired, harem jumpsuit.  I love the cut, it's not too tight but it's not too loose, which is key in any garment and the cropped style is something I gravitate too so I can show off my shoes!  If you are thinking about adding a jumpsuit to your wardrobe I'd go with a black one first.  It is easily on the same level as a little black dress (LBD) in it's classic chicness, wearability and versatility!  Yay for LBJ's!

What I'm Wearing ~
Jumpsuit: Forever 21 (Other great LBJ options here, here, here and here)
Snake Skin Bag: Cynthia Rowley via TJMaxx (similar here and here)
Necklace: K-la Boutique (love this one by Kendra Scott)
Gold Metallic Shoes: Michael Antonio - thrifted (a few other fun, affordable options here, here and here)
Bracelets: J.Crew (old, new version here)
