Night and Day

There are certain rules to follow when it comes to dressing appropriately.  More specifically, there are rules to follow around night-time versus day-time apparel and even your overall look.

Here's a quiz to see if you know right from wrong:

1. Bright red sequined top - Night or Day?
2. Dark smokey eyeshadow - Night or Day?
3. Flowery dress with pink cardigan - Night or Day?
4. Six inch platforms - Night or Day?
5. Tight black pants and halter top - Night or Day?

Answers:

1. Night -- saw a woman wearing this today and it looked wrong.
2. Night -- save it for a night on the town! Not a great look for 10am staff meetings...
3. Day -- a woman at an evening "cocktail attire" event I attended was wearing what looked to me like a summer day wedding appropriate dress.  It was weird.
4. Curveball question -- I'd say either, depending on the outfit and the color of the shoe.
5. Night -- I really don't need to see you in your club outfit when I'm walking to work...

How'd you do?

TGIF

Happy Friday everyone!!  It's a yucky, rainy day here in DC so Mike, Bella and I are going to stay warm and dry and order in tonight.  Tomorrow night we have an event to attend called Fashion for Paws which is a fashion show fundraiser to benefit the Washington Humane Society.

I still don't know which dress I'm wearing, but I'll be sure to take lots of pictures of both the human and canine models strutting their stuff on the runway!

Here's to a fun filled weekend.  Enjoy!

Ching Chong!

I know that this is old news already, but I was thinking about the idiot student from UCLA that posted her rant about Asian students in the library, on You Tube, and then got kicked out of school.  Really, what a dumb ass thing to do. Anyway below is her rant if you haven't seen it yet.  Be forwarned that she is an idiot of the utmost caliber...

                                                                    

The only good that came from this rant was a response from a very talented, smart, hysterical guy who also happens to be Asian. He wrote and performs a song that really cracked me up, and totally put this idiot in her place.  It also just makes me happy....

Did you enjoy?

                                                                                 

Delightful Denim

My jean shopping experience this weekend was great and I ended up with two new pairs of really soft, comfy, and stylish jeans.  We went to Saks which had a great selection to choose from.

I must have tried on about 7 pairs and decided on a soft, darkish blue pair of Stilt's by AG which are basically cigarette style, and a pair of soft, lighter colored, St. Barts's by Hudson, which are a more relaxed fit.  Seriously though, both pairs are made of some of the softest denim I've ever felt!  Makes wearing jeans a dee-light!

AG Stilt

Hudson St. Bart

I can wear both cuffed and they can be dressed up or down which is excellent!

Next up...summer dresses! Stay tuned...

New Jeans

It's that time again!  Time for some new jeans.  Jean shopping is a dreadful activity for some women, but I am actually really excited to get to the stores and try a bunch of different styles on.  I find that a person's jean style says a lot about what kind of person they are.

Whether they're Levi's, Earnest Sewn, AG (my faves), or Seven's, (and obviously there are soo many more) I think that jeans should be flattering to the figure and comfortable to wear.  Right now, I'm sitting in a pair of dark blue, skinny, tapered, Earnest Sewn's and to be completely honest, they are a little too tight for my liking.  They still look good, but my style has changed and I now prefer a more comfortable, relaxed fit.

My favorite pair of jeans are my AG Tomboy's.  The color is great, the denim is high quality, and they are super flattering and are really comfortable to wear all day. I want like 10 pairs!

So, we'll see what I end up with this weekend.  What's your favorite jean brand?  Style?  Any advice?
