ALL The Flowers Would have Extra Special Powers

In a world of my own this Monday trying to decide which pair of these Zinia Earrings by Roarke speak to me the most. Short answer is they all do.

What If I Wore This to Work Today...

When I was in my second year of law school I participated in a national Moot Court competition in San Antonio, TX. After one of the first rounds had finished, my (all-female) team and I awaited feedback from the panel of judges only to learn that the only constructive criticism we would be receiving would be on our wardrobe. No word was spoken on the legal arguments we had prepared for and made, but much was said on the fact we were all wearing black suits that looked very serious and that it wouldn't hurt us to don some color. If I remember correctly, one fashion-forward thinking judge went so far as to remark: "I think even a pink suit would be appropriate, given the temperature outside." You don't say. 

I was so peeved that looking back, I'm not quite sure how I practiced enough self-restraint to keep from having a personal Cher Horowitz moment ("and in conclusion may I please remind you that it does not say 'colorful attire' on the competition score sheet"). Like seriously lady, do you think I would be rocking this Ann Taylor "powersuit" if this was some sort of style tournament (no offense to Ann)? Anyhoo, we left San Antonio with a trophy and on days like today, when I slip into the recurring "imagine if I wore this to work" daydream, my mind returns to that Moot Court competition and that judge and my recurring desire to ask "IS THIS BETTER?!".

One Way Ticket to Margaritaville

What was that? You want to know what I'm doing this weekend? Oh, nothing. Just taking my first tennis lesson in give or take 10 years in an attempt to unleash my inner Johanna Konta - I'm convinced she is lurking in there somewhere (and believe you me I'll report back if she is). No physical weekend activity is complete (or worthwhile) unless it is followed by a treat yo'self pursuit - and this fateful Saturday afternoon it's the annual Margarita Tour, which entails making various pit-stops around Houston in search for the best limey-tequila concoction. In other words, I'm just living my best life this weekend and I hope you all do the same.

Forecast Says: No End in Sight for Wedding Season

Let me guess - you know at least one person who got engaged in the last couple days. Let me guess again - you have at least one wedding to attend in the coming month. Let me guess one more time - you're not in the mood to think about what you're going to wear to said wedding. 

You just relax, RSVP and leave what to wear part to moi. Because even better than catching the bouquet is winning BDWG (best dressed wedding guest). No, I've never caught a bouquet - but I have a funky feeling you would prefer a photo of yourself lookin' fly versus looking like this.
