One thing I rely on too heavily when getting dressed is easy outfits. I’m not the type of person to take something “so ugly it is cute” and turn it into something fabulous. When I was younger I was more daring with thrift store finds but the older I get my desire to reduce the risk of looking like a jack ass goes up. That said I’ve been feeling fairly bored with my outfits and want to break away from my tried and true combinations and bring some fun back into my fashion.
I lived in tanks and skirts last summer and I’ve been trying to wear this combo more in the winter. I wear tank tops year ’round since the weather is so unpredictable here in the Deep South. On this particular night I winterized a cotton summer skirt, by New Orleans standards anyway, by throwing wool tights on and adding a cardigan. In lieu of wearing all black I opted to wear this grey cardigan with white sequin appliqués and kept it in check with grey tights and grey and black shoes.
So where did I go on my night out? My too cute for words friends Joseph and Zac came with me to the Style Lab relaunch party followed by dinner at the Ste. Marie, a new restaurant located downtown. We ended the evening with a glass of wine, fries, and dessert at Delachaise. Yea, because only in New Orleans would you go out for more food after dinner.
Gotta love finding a bright orange chair to use as an impromptu prop. I’m pretty sure Reginelli’s didn’t mind too much since we were only outside!
