Busy Mom (lady) On The Go

As I've mentioned before, last week I co-hosted a Girls Day Out event for Star 94 and The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta. Our theme was "take time for you, tips for a busy mom (lady) on the go". My gorgeous friend, Jennifer Duvall of JennySue Makeup, shared makeup tips on how to look your best when you are in a hurry (and how to stay looking your best in the heat!! On the day of our event it was blazing hot and we were set up outside, but Jennifer stayed looking fresh and shares her melt-proof makeup tips here.) I styled two outfits for the event, one from Isaac Mizrahi New York (seen in this post) and one from Saks Off 5th. I knew going in to my styling day the day before the event that I wanted to do one of the looks around joggers (not the people, the pants!). Joggers are a way of feeling like you are wearing your pajamas but looking chic, on trend and totally pulled together!

Jennifer, my manikin wearing her busy lady on the go look I styled from Saks Off 5th and me at the Star 94 Girls Day Out event. (You can get Jennifer's look here and here).

What We're Wearing ~
Manikin:
Silk Tapered Joggers: Saks Off 5th (on sale!!)
Loose Fit Striped Top: Michael Kors (Identical)
Floral Cross Body Bag: French Connection (such a great bag for a great price!!)
Me:
Faux Leather Shorts: eBay (similar)
Thin Knit T-Shirt Sweater: Forever 21 (similar)
Black Cage Sandals: BCBGeneration via T.J.Maxx (I have these in white and they are fabulous and on sale!)
Sunnies: Coach

Part of the event's set up including my busy lady on the go styled manikins.

I'm still kicking myself for not purchasing this outfit at the end of the event! I may be making a trip back to the outlets soon or ordering it online!

What's your favorite stylish on-the-go outfit? Check back on Friday when I share three ways to style these joggers ~ for now, for transition and for fall.

Mz Savvy Style Loves Athens ~ Encore ~ Leather Joggers for Spring

I love joggers especially a great leather (or faux leather) pair (proof here and here) so when I spotted these by Line & Dot on my styling day at Encore I knew they would be the base to one of my outfit choices. They are buttery soft and not heavy at all so they are perfect for the winter to spring transition period or to wear well on into spring especially when paired with a cute tank like the one I'm wearing. I really love the drawstring waist detail which adds a little something when you do a front-tuck with your shirt. Speaking of the front-tuck ~ did you know this makes you appear slimmer and your legs look longer than letting your shirt hang out or tucking it in all the way around? Try it for yourself and see what you think.

Joggers: Line & Dot via Encore (I'd LOVE this white pair!!)

Tank: French Connection via Encore

Shoes: Anne Michelle (they kind of came home with me!) via Encore

Bag, Necklace & Earrings: Encore exclusive

Have you entered my Encore giveaway yet?? Up for grabs is your choice of the outfit I wore in this post or a $200 Encore gift card!! Either one you choose is a win! Enter here:
