These are all of my favorite pieces combined into one!
I just got this new blazer and I'm so excited about it! It dresses up the simplest outfits and makes things look more expensive than they really are :-) Oh, and it has amazing side flaps and shoulder pads!
Finally had an excuse (like I needed one) to wear my new skirt from Reiss!
You know what I love about this whole sporty chic thing? Take some comfy shorts and a top, add heels and blazer, et voila, you're done! Now if I can just get my hands on a pair of fancy scalloped Chloe shorts, my life will be complete. Oh and this nifty little pin thing I found in my mother's old jewelry. I think it gets along nicely with my blazer.
I've had this top for a couple years, but seem to keep finding new ways to wear it. I love it, because it's like wearing a beautiful scarf that you can tie multiple ways. For some reason, I felt kind of rockstar-ish in this outfit, though I definitely didn't act it on this particular evening. I drank too much wine at a bbq and wussed out minutes after arriving at Russia House maybe around 11:30 (though I don't even think it was that late). Lame.
I had my first "blogger meet up" on Saturday with Laura and Megan of chicfaced. Being able to meet up in person with two local bloggers that I enjoy reading so much was a refreshing experience. We all thought it was funny to be so familiar with someone, but to have never have met them face to face. Anyway, it was interesting to talk about what inspired us to start our blogs, speculate as to who Anna Wintour really is, and marvel at the way the blogosphere has totally dominated fashion week this year. Good times. More on my blog: www.districtofchic.com

I guess this would be the "night" half of a day-to-night look from Saturday (day half seen here: http://www.districtofchic.com/2009/09/if-it-werent-for-double-standards-i.html ). I liked the fancy feel of the top, so it wasn't too difficult to dress it up for going out. Hmm... I kind of wish I had something exciting to tell you, like "I saw Karl Lagerfeld riding the metro and neither of us had a pen with which he could autograph my forehead, so he gave me one of his rings instead," but that would that would be a untrue. Better luck next time. More on my blog: www.districtofchic.com

For some reason, this felt like an Uncle Karl outfit. Not really sure why, because there are no stiff collars or sunglasses involved. It just does. more on my blog: www.districtofchic.com
