Eat This

One of my best gal pals Leslie Almeida runs a new but already really successful networking business called Eatventful. Having done some writing for her other project, NOLA Eats, I’m always happy to help her out collecting money, distributing wristbands, etc…

The events bring out a variety of people ranging from individuals seeking business contacts, students looking for employment opportunities and others simply just to make friends and enjoy themselves. It is the type of event that you want to put your best foot forward, or in my case a high heel.

 
I just purchased this dress at Buffalo Exchange and couldn’t wait to wear it. I’m so in love with the one shouldered look and I haven’t seen many ladies wearing it yet. This is good since I tire of trends quickly and I’ll get some extra mileage out of the three I already own.

Of course I brought this 3/4 sleeve boyfriend blazer with me but didn’t really need it. Where did that cool weather go? I’m so tired of it being in the ’70s here in New Orleans. What’s the rest of you southern girls doing? Are y’all wearing your summer clothes or sweating it out in sweaters?

They don’t call them sweaters for nothin’, so I’m not buying one until it hits 60 for at least 10 days in a row.

I think of you everytime I get lusty over a 1 shoulder top! But then I think about how to wear it with a bra and it goes out of my mind.

Y’all both looked fab. I’ve had to dress for Fall at work for weeks, thanks to the malfunctioning a/c. It’s rarely above 70 at my desk.

I love the colors you both are wearing- they complement each other so well! I’m a big fan of the one shoulder dress too- it’s surprising flattering even on my fugly days.
p.s. Sometimes I don’t know how Atlanta can be considered the deep South- it has been cold here! We’ll try to send cooler weather your way 😉
