When Outfits Epic Fail…
If I told you that the only item that wasn’t changed fifty times in this outfit was the leather pants, would you believe me? I walked out ready to go on our date, and [houston] looked at my sequin top, white undershirt, and chambray button down (unbuttoned) and gave me a dubious look. I knew right away that there was too much going on. So, I toned it all down with a simple silk & satin Kensie top (love that brand!), bright orange embossed belt, and of course, my arm party.
…New shoes are a pick me up!
I couldn’t wait to wear these mary janes by Nine West (they’ll be available in early October for the reptile prints, late September for suede). I had been waiting for them to come in the mail ever since I picked them out of the lookbook months ago, and here they are!! You will need to get your hands on a pair–I think you can preorder, actually. They’re so hot for fall.
Arm Party: Shashi bracelets (c/o) | Banana Republic wrap bracelet | Michael Kors watch | “diamonique” tennis bracelet | James Avery hook bangle | David Yurman bracelets

As always, I appreciate your comments, tweets, and facebook love! xoxo
Is that a party or what.. awesome!!! I love your lip colour and the cute bow… cant wait to link up my arm party
I actually like too many things about this outfit to name them all. Okay, here's a few: the shoes (wow), leather pants that look classic chic, sparkly clutch, metallic nail polish, pop of orange. And the Arm Party!!! I've been talking about that for a few days and sending people to your blog. My arms pre-partied today. They had fun.
I actually really love the neutral grey color story with pops of color on your lips, belt, and hair. Can't wait to link up my arm candy tomorrow =) JB.

I love the belt, top && bracelets. Great job (: The shoes are great too ! x
Great accessories. Love the bow in your hair, the belt and the shoes.
By the way I used your instructions of your 'half moon nails' post for my nails today.
See my link if you like.

You look stunning! I especially love the bow on your hair, such a classic picture with all the great accessories, what an arm PARTY! – Mar http://notyourordinarybeautyqueen.blogspot.com/
Looking great! Love all of your bracelets and your shoes are to die for 🙂

I really love that bow in your hair – and that state necklace is really cool and quirky!
Love the way your belt pops against the otherwise neutral colors!
great outfit..i know what you mean about changing 50 times except that one piece you really want to wear!
Haha, I'm so glad to know I am not the only one who still makes slightly dubious fashion choices! You ended up looking amazing though, I love the way the belt pops, and your hair clip is adorable xo
Kristina,
Great outfit, whatever you changed out of this was the right thing to change into. I am a HUGE Nine west fan and would have loved more shoe shots–I know, I know…this one is about the "Arm Party". But everyday is a shoe party right?

Love this entire outfit- you look fantastic 🙂
Adore the bracelets galore and the dazzling Coach clutch!
♥, Jamie
Really loving the leather pants – I have some on my wish list for fall, too! 🙂
I love the hair bow, I saw one like it at H&M. Who knew things like that would come back!
Love a good arm party!
I love the Shashi bracelets =)
i still love your texas necklace so much! i want the new hampshire version 🙂
LOVE the arm party, gorgeous mary janes, and THAT orange belt! Just the perfect pop!
xo, sam
And you made the best out of your outfit!!
I think I'm super jealous of your ability to wear gold watches…like I just don't think it's me, though I admire the look.
You are beautiful! I love how you rock large hair accessories

You look fantastic, as always. I am pretty obsessed with 9 west's fall offerings. They've really upped the ante 🙂
Love those pants!

I bought that same belt from Target and it's been one of my favorites! I love how bright it is and that it's super flexible so it holds up well to being tied.

I love how your leather pants aren't skintight, but still look so good! But aren't they ridic hot in the Texas heat? I'm assuming you just ran from a/c to a/c, lol. That's how I do it 🙂
Those shoes are amazing!! Love your arm party!
