Date Night Closet Remix

You don't need to break the bank to ramp up your date night wardrobe.  Chances are, there are some pretty fabulous pieces already in your closet.  I love mixing old pieces to create something new.  I bought this skirt two years ago to wear to a baby shower and art show.  I paired it with heeled sandals, a tank, and black wooden jewelry.  

Fast forward to last night:  Dado Fashion Show...

I took the same skirt and put on a long sleeve Express crew neck tee and bright Hue tights to create a whole new look.  I added some vintage jewelry, my new Buffalo motorcycle jacket, a Kate Spade bag and my favorite Nine West peep toe booties.   Voila!  Now I've got a fall look that's a little edgy, a little fun, and a bold pop of color to boot!  The only new items (bought this season) were the tights and the jacket.  So for around $100, I completely updated my date night wardrobe.

What do you think?  Suitable for a night out on the town?  Or should this ensemble have stayed in the back of my closet?

What's your go-to date night look?

How Do You Mu?

Last night I went to TRATA for the launch party of Mu, LiDestri's latest line of cafe-inspired cocktails.  Coffee break meets happy hour?  Yes, please! I got to taste all three flavors:  Vanilla Latte, Coco Cappucino, and Chocolate Chai - all were DE-LICIOUS!  I even had a Mu-tini complete with marshmallow garnish.   Yum-o!  Rochester A-List did a phenomenal job with the event, there was schmoozing and boozing (two of my favorite things!)  and who doesn't love a swag bag?

Truffles, Pink Limoncello, coasters, coupons, recipes, a magnet and
postcards (one of which says "I would like an iced coco cappuccino with a side of Bradley Cooper")
Love that!

Since outfit posts are a big hit around here, I tried to get a photo for you.  However, this is what happened when I attempted to have my mother (who was babysitting) take an outfit photo for the blog:

Tada!

So I decided to take a picture of myself in the car instead...

But, all I could get was my head...

You can see the full look here, where I'm posing with the models who were dressed up as the various Mu cocktail flavors.  Aren't they gorgeous?!

I'm wearing Guess shoes, a.n.a jeans via JCPenney, Express tank,
Forever 21 blouse, H&M necklace, and Banana Republic earrings.

It was a wonderful night, spent chatting with great people, and getting to be one of the first to try some fabulous new cocktails.  Mu will definitely be making an appearance the next time I host a Mom's Night Out.  Looks like they landed a new customer!

Cheers!
