Daytime Appropriate

Through a closet clean-out raid, I happened to toss all of my day dresses. While none were worthy of keeping, I did end up leaving myself with no breezy, hot-weather dress options. So, I decided to rethink something I wouldn't wear for day, and make it work. Layering a plain tee under this strapless floral dress happened to do the trick! A wide brimmed hat, and my favorite oxfords made this look totally perfect for a walk in the park.

In Blooms

I've been in Lake Tahoe for two days now and I've been trying to post this for just as long- internet is not reliable up here. Besides that though it is absolutely beautiful. It's warm and sunny and I wish I could stay longer. I've mainly been hanging out on the beach so far and later today we are going to drive around the entire lake and explore whatever seems intriguing.

Here is what I wore my first day here. I was finally able to break out my new Betsey Johnson dress, and though it's black based the blooms make it Summer-y and it keeps me cool in this heat.

Oh Betsey!

This past weekend I got to dress up and be a model for a day! It was So. Much. Fun!

The Betsey Johnson on Fillmore St., San Francisco was throwing a Pink Party in honor of National Pink Day and Pride Weekend. I was asked to be a model for the party and walk down the "runway" wearing some amazing dresses.

Now, Betsey Johnson isn't really a designer I would relate to my personal style. I did wear a Betsey Johnson dress to my Senior Prom in High School, but that's about as Betsey as I get. BUT, it was an amazing opportunity, and why not dress up out of your comfort zone and have fun with it? Isn't that what experimenting with fashion is all about?

Make-up professionally done by MAC Cosmetics.

All done and waiting to get styled for the event.

First dress I wore before the fashion show.

As part of their thank you for modeling, the store gave me 60% off a purchase. OF COURSE I took advantage of that and walked away with this dress: http://www.betseyjohnson.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11449955

It is so figure flattering and versatile, I love it! I just decided to swap out the pink bow (not my favorite thing) for a chunky brown leather belt, or nothing at all. The dress doesn't really need a belt.
