The Details: Strappy Shoes, Black Tights & Rusty Necklace

So I realize I haven't been posting too many full length outfit shots, even though many of you have been requesting them...so I'm excited to post my outfit from this past weekend! It was a big night out for a friend's 24th birthday in downtown Seattle...Happy Birthday Zoe & Kristi!!!

The dress is a lace dress from Target, the necklace is from Forever21, shoes by Crown Vintage and purse (below) from Forever21 (my "faux Chanel" bag). How was your weekend? Any good fashion moments?

From the Author: Favorite Photoshopped Pics

Photoshopping is lots of fun...as we all know. Adding effects to give a photo an emotion, like anger, melancholy or happiness, can be an entertaining challenge. What do I like to add? Drama. These are some of my favorite photos of myself that I have photoshopped around with. What is your favorite effect to use in making pictures more dramatic?

I would like to start off by saying thank you to the dress gods for blessing us all with this Robbie Bee Beaded Tiered Dress.

The Details: Floral Prints & Lace

I'm loving the lace trend that is popping up everywhere. So when I found this Tucker for Target printed tunic on the clearance rack, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it: throw it over my lace dress & play peek-a-boo with the sleeves! Paired it with a chunky Moroccan style necklace from Urban Outfitters and brown riding boots. So tell me reader, what do ya think?

Jessie Writes: "Hello! I'm hitting the 6 months mark with my boyfriend & he has invited me to fly to New York City with him & have Thanksgiving dinner with his family! While I'm very excited he wants me to come along, I have NO IDEA what to wear. His family are all very stylish & well-off, and I don't want to seem out of place. Can you help me find a chic dress that flatters my curves & doesn't break my bank account? Thanks!"

Jessie! Thanks for writing in. I have come up with some very stylish options that look much more expensive than they really are. When you are at dinner looking fabulous, remember to start with the outer fork first...or wait...the inner...oh never mind. Just be yourself!
