WhatIWore:

When:
Sept 10, 2009

What:
Vintage Dress: thrifted, hemmed
Necklace: ModCloth
Tights: We Love Colors
Shoes: thrifted (originally Zara)
Bag: gift from the lovely Krystal

Where:
Fashion Night Out in NYC!!

Why:
I’ve been really thinking long and hard on what to wear for fashion week. Lucky me the dresses I saw out tonight are TOTALLY THE SAME PANTONES as the dresses I am rocking this week. Think highlighter yellow and electric blueish/violet. Yum.

So, tonight’s look was actually because I had made a little mistake on another dress and didn’t want to deal with any major sewing outside of hemming.  The before picture of the dress is here. Chopped off a nice amount to the length and the result is questionably short. Whatevs. Got recognized twice tonight (yay!) and enough compliments to keep my self esteem up at a healthy level (as we all know models and empty pocket books and nothing to wear can drag it down low low low).  I love how Mod this outfit feels. I could have just rocked out black tights and shoes, but I think the lace pattern really lends itself to the necklace and applique on the dress.  Tonight was awesome. Yes yes yes.

Full post on what I bought and where I went (and who with!) coming right up!

WhatIWore: If you live in NYC, you know this Thursday night, September 10th, is Fashion Night Out! There’s loads of stores staying open late and offering deals, but one special event I am looking forward to is the pop up shop held by my friends at Market Publique. Add this stop to your shopping list!
