Today (March 10th, 2010) I'm Wearing...

So it's that odd transition time in NYC where it's getting warmer and the sun is shining but it's still too cold to toss aside the winter jackets, and so dressing is quite the everyday conundrum. I feel like I'm ready to deshroud myself of the chunky layers and heavy daunting winter coats...Spring we neeeeeeeeeed you! Come quick!

I was going out for drinks this evening at the Blue Owl- so loungy chic, I love it! I wanted to sip cocktails in something casual yet urban. I always seem to layer this crocheted tank tunic but the idea of pairing it with just a simple white camisole just felt sort of fitting since the sudden burst of warmth hit NYC these past few days. 

Next I added this slouchy cream open cardi- I like it because it has the same effect as a blazer but with a more casual/ adaptable feel. The belt sort of tied the overall colors together and broke it up in the middle to create a line of vision. This combo with some faded skinny denim jeans and just a mint of a hint of sparkle with these uber-fantastic heels!!!!...now THIS has cocktail hour all over it :D

I went with a neutral palette makeup-wise. Raspberry glossed lips and lots of mascara for that wide-eyed doe look. I tossed on these sunglasses right before I was about to head out the door (I normally tend to take my pics just as I head out).

 I remember I used to bartend just after college and when I had short hair many of my co-workers used to call me Trinity (from the Matrix), I certainly don't flatter myself but I do think that this is the first pic I've ever seen of myself where I could maaaaaybe see a resemblance...

...incredibly slight I would say...

God I love these silver heels...
