Interesting Sights

Today Sephora opened up near me and I was ecstatic. I went with friends, who are always good for talking you out of buying yet another lip gloss, and bought some lovely products. Nothing like buying makeup to make you happy! On the way back I saw a lovely coat. It was a simple black coat except for one detail. A gold sequin panel on the side. It was a lovely detail but i wonder how she could wear it everyday in the winter. Is it easy to wear a distinct coat or a simple one. A simple one won't interfere with your outfit but an interesting one could brighten your day up considerably.
Things like these make Friday even better!

Sorry for the somewhat sporadic posting. Lame excuse, but in my effort to procrastinate from schoolwork, I've been putting off everything. I went shopping Friday night with my friend which was fun. Though they're between seasons, they still have lovely things. My favorites were their florals and coats. I tried on many dress but only bought one black and green-purple-white floral dress. It's very cute and even though it's a very spring-y dress I'm looking forward to wearing it soon. I also bought a pair of red platform heels from payless. Last night I went to a party and watched Snl which was AMAZING! The MacGruebers were especially good, "Pass me the pen" "Which one?" "The African American one" Too Funny.
Spring Collections are coming out and I am very excited because spring is my favorite time of year. I am so over Winter by now. Romanticism is in for spring how much fun is that! Ruffles and layers of sheer are easily dressed, up down and made tough by a doc martins and a blazer.

Today I felt like an idiot

It was fifty degrees out and I paid no attention to any past experiences and went out in a mini and two small sweaters. It's ridiculous that I have no sense of how I'll feel when the weather is between sixty and forty. I just can't imagine how cold it will feel until I feel it.
I know today's not one of the days I promised to post but I'm making up for the days I missed.
Since It's troubled me for a while I thought I tackle all the mystery about dress codes for parties.
For casual, you can probably wear jeans but make sure you know what type of person is hosting the party. Others idea of casual could differ with yours. Always keep one peice special though. A top like this could easily be dressed up or down. A pencil skirt or jeans are easy choices.
Festive, club and cocktail wear are more dressed up and you can be very fun and outgoing with what you wear (unless of course the host is very conservative). Mini's are also appropriate. I would go with a dress but you could easily wear a skirt. If the event is specified as cocktail I would go with something a bit longer like this:
This one looks better on and the seaming is beautiful.
For black tie optional go for longer dresses in special fabrics and not tons of skin. this one comes in tons of colors and the cut is perfect.
Black tie should be something very special.

If you wear vintage you can be sure no one else will be wearing what you are. You can be unique and very pretty in such a dress and if you know where to look they can be cheaper than current dresses. This one is so special I feel lucky just looking at it.
