WHY I WAS LATE FOR DINNER

I was VERY excited to meet up with a wonderful girl who was back in town for the night.  I had a NON-stop day of jobs and meetings and was, as per usual, flying around like a crazy lady.

In an attempt to get five minutes of sit-down time before dinner, I caught up on some blogs and changed into something a little more night-time fun.  You know, something I would never have the brass to wear in the daylight.  And of course, because I changed, I just HAD to get a couple outfit shots.

It's not exactly pushing outside the box with it's creativity, but I'm kind of a sucker for simplicity.  And not much more than a week after swearing off heels, I decided to be a rebel for a couple of hours, mainly because I knew I would be doing very little walking and a LOT of sitting.

I'm so in love with this blazer these days.  It's so comfortable and adds just enough structure to leggings and an over-sized tee.  While in NYC for the Weardrobe Conference, we went to Buffalo Exchange where they so graciously gave us each a tote bag with a BE American Apparel Deep V tee in each one.  I am in LOVE with this tee!  If you've read my blog for a while, you know my fondness for the AA Deep V.  And this one's 2 sizes bigger than I normally get, which makes it so soft, comfy, and drapey.  Love.  Love.  Love.

In an attempt to make it a little more night life, I added the heels.  These were also free from the Weardrobe Conference thanks to Lela Rose for Payless.  They're not exactly everyday shoes (I'm not gonna lie, they're a little high), but they're really pretty to look at and that's enough to earn them a couple of wears a year.  Plus, I love the electirc, almost purple, blue.  And because it was cold and rainy, I decided to go all out ridiculous and tucked my pants into the shoes.  When most girls in town are tucking their leggings into UGGS, I think I'm okay.

Or should I be thankful that my bottom half remained under a table all night?

  2. The leggings and the shoes together,l tucked in such a way have some SERIOUS sass. If anything, I'm disappointed your legs were under a table all night, you should have been making EVERYBODY look at how badass you are.

  6. I'm loving the tucked in look! And I shockingly have never been into an AA. I just don't get excited by anything they sell - but this got me excited! What's not to love about super soft oversized tees... I might have to make a trip to the nearest AA sometime in the near future. Loving the whole look!
