Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Throw Out Your Bedazzler

Embellished sweatshirts are back.

I know... I know.  Puff paint's comeback can't be far behind.  Let's just hope they skip that one and move on to something far classier like pleather... oh wait... never mind.

Since I donated my Bedazzler to Good Will years ago (oh the naivete) and have yet to purchase an "embellished sweatshirt," I developed a simple equation to keep my fashionista-self on trend:

Statement Necklace + Sweatshirt = Blinged Out Loungewear (no purchase necessary!)

Glasses:  Coach (similar in black)
Necklace:  Jane (similar)
Sweatshirt:  Forever 21 (similar with short sleeves)
Jeans: Forever 21 ($7.80) 
Jacket:  Buffalo (similar)
Bag and Shoes:  Louis Vuitton (both gifts-I can't afford that shiz)

The best part about this fashion solution is that when bejeweled sweatshirts are no longer cool, (trust me this can't last long) each piece will still be able to be worn separately while their bejeweled counterparts go the way of my once-loved bedazzler.  Catch my drift?

Good.  I'm so glad we had this talk.

Are you with me? Or do you think I'm completely out of touch?

Regardless of which size of the bejeweled argument you are on, let's just take a moment to revel in this early 90's awesomeness:

Have a great weekend lovies!

PS- Apparently the Bedazzler is still alive and well and has it's own web site...
According to www.getbedazzler.com: "Bedazzling is back and bigger than ever."  Who knew?
Maybe I am just out of touch...

Central Park

As promised, here are the details on the outfit I wore in the city on Friday.  What a perfect fall day in Central Park!

Let's go from top to bottom, shall we?

I am wearing my favorite beanie from Forever 21, Mossimo for Target sunglasses, Kenneth Cole hoop earrings, Ann Taylor cashmere scarf, faux leather jacket by Buffalo, H&M sweater, Old Navy bag, a.n.a jeans and you guessed it, my Fabianelli riding boots from Marshalls.

And now for some action shots...

You love me ;)

That's all for now kids.  Time to get some online Christmas shopping done.

What about you?  Snagging any Cyber Monday deals?  Do share!

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?

Rock Out With Your Hat Out

Happy Weekend!

Thanks to all the lovely ladies who linked up for my first ever Bloggers with Balls link up party!  You ladies rock!  I love seeing how everyone adds their own personal style to common pieces.  Which brings me to the premise for today's link up:  hats.  I love hats.  Knit hats, cowboys hats, baseball caps, wide-brimmed, vintage - I love 'em all. 

One of the best things about temperatures turning a little chilly is that I can break out my knits.  I'm not sure if it's the throw back to early 90s grunge or the fact that they can hide even the worst of hair days, but either way, they are a staple in my fall/winter wardrobe.  

Here are some ways I've worn mine this season:

As a Pop of Color
Hat:  Forever 21

With Shades 

With faux leather Buffalo jacket, Christian Dior frames, and my Jane Eyre scarf.
Hat:  GAP

I want to see how YOU wear YOURS!

Link up and "Rock Out With Your Hat Out!"
(I know that's not grammatically correct - just go with it).
