When: Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Where: On the way to brunch at Community Food & Juice

What: Tee (Forever 21), shorts (H&M), sandals (Michael Kors), bracelets (Forever 21)

For the second time this season (which is a lot for me), I decided to don a pair of shorts.  To jazz things up a bit, I had to add in an embellished tee.  Unfortunately I forgot to snap a rear view pic, because this one has a ribbon that ties in a really cute bow at the neck.

I originally had on a pair of platform wedges to help elongate my legs, but as I was leaving the house I thought it looked a little too high maintenance so I slipped into a pair of sandals instead.  I was so glad I did, because we wound up doing a lot of walking that morning!

When: Sunday, June 6th, 2010

Where: Dinner in Meatpacking District

What: Romper ($30 Sassy City Chicks Fashion Bash), belt ($28 Anthropologie), cardigan ($30 Filene’s Basement), shoes ($40 Banana Republic clearance sale)

This outfit was definitely a step outside of my comfort zone, as I typically don’t do shorts.  But I figured if I was going to go there, I might as well go all the way and throw on a bunch of crazy prints! 

I adore bold patterns but usually stick to one main piece (like a skirt, dress, or top) and keep everything else pretty basic.  I was feeling a little adventurous yesterday, so I decided to try something different this time around.  I think it works here because I stuck to the same color palette (black and white).  I also like how the wood accents on the belt, sweater, and soles of my shoes all came together to give the outfit a cool tribal vibe. 

On a side note, the Sassy City Chick’s Fashion Bash was fan-freakin’-tastic!  All of my pics are on my other camera, so I’ll be posting later today about the awesome finds I picked up at the event.  Stay tuned!
