When: Saturday, September 4th, 2010

Where: IHOP in Queens

What: Cardigan (H&M), dress ($35 Banana Republic), shoes ($30 Cynthia Vincent for Target), necklace (vintage)

I woke up this morning in the mood for PANCAKES!  It was all I could think about.  So I slipped into this dress, hopped on the train likety-split and slid into the nearest IHOP.  Sooooo good!

If this dress looks familiar, it’s because I have the exact same one in silver as seen here.  I have a really bad habit of buying things in multiples…

Moving on to this month’s giveaway…

Like the necklace I’m wearing?

I got it on eBay, and it came as a set of two (told you I like buying things in multiples). Nonetheless, I don’t need two of the exact same necklace, so I’m giving the other one away!

Closet Confection: Flower Power

When: Friday, August 23rd, 2010

Where: Dinner in Alphabet City

What: Dress ($20 Liberty of London for Target on sale), shoes ($20 Charlotte Russe)

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that I love buying things in multiples.  So yes, I do have this exact same dress in another print.  However, I’d have to say that this one is my favorite of the two.  I just love the colors and the pattern.  It has a sort of 60s vintage vibe, which is why I decided to go with the retro-looking photography.  But because the colors on this dress are so vivid, I wanted to leave you with some clearer pics as well:

And of course, I couldn’t leave out a closeup of my awesome pink heels.  They make me so happy!

When: Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Where: Work + Lunch Date w/ Hubby

What: Dress ($35 Banana Republic clearance sale), necklace (H&M), bracelet (Forever21), shoes ($30 Michael Kors via eBay), handbag ($88 Botkier via Gilt Groupe)

Here are a few quick pics of me sneaking a weasel date with my husband during lunch. We like to do this from time to time since we work so close to one another.  I usually wear more conservative pumps with this dress, but I decided to step it up a notch for my hot date.

Because of its somewhat drab color (pale grey), it’s easy for this dress to look washed out and boring.  So, I tossed on some dark chunky jewelry to provide contrast.  For next time, I’m thinking a big coral necklace and cocktail ring would be perfection.
