Dress: Vintage, from hong kong vintage. Boots: Corral Boots from Mexico. Clutch: ASOS, last seen here. Necklace: My Grandmother-in-law's. Earrings: Gifted. Rings: My Grandmother's, Tiffany, custom by Diamonds Direct.

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my friend Sonya Barnes at the 10 year anniversary party for her image consulting firm, Harris & Barnes.  This vintage frock from hong kong vintage has been stowed away in my closet since I purchased it almost a year ago.  I always imagined wearing it to a Cinco de Mayo party or some similar festivity, but it jumped right out at me on this particular evening.  Perhaps not the most logical pairing (some things remain), the boots made a leap for me too.  And the clutch.  I like it when my clothes jump out at me, and I don't have to jump at them or jump up and down, because I am frustrated with them.  How about you?  Do you agree?  Do certain things in your wardrobe jump out at you?  More here from hong kong vintage.

Thanks so much for being here!  

My very best, Whitley

Dress Me Up (Or Down)

Dress: thanks to C&C California. Jacket: Gap. Boots: Charlie 1 Horse. Tights: Donna Karan (old), similar pair. Clutch: ASOS. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Necklaces: Charles Emerson Designs (Giveaway for this necklace coming soon!), KK Bloom, by boe, my Grandmother-in-laws. Bracelets: My Grandmother's, Great-Grandmother's, Grandmother-in-law's, Stella & Dot. Earrings: JewelMint. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, custom by Diamonds Direct.

My recent close encounter with Madonna shed a little inspiration for the title of today's post.  I recently had the pleasure of meeting some of the C&C California team when I attended the LuckyFABB conference in NYC.  This dress arrived at my doorstep a couple of weeks ago after my entry into a contest to style some of their threads.  I have worn it four times in the last week... three times under denim jacket, different shoes and jewelry; once over chambray shirt.  I love anything that provides me with great versatility and a strong RIO.  A few other points to note, I am obsessed with my new clutch and necklace, and did you happen to notice anything new with my pictures? I can barely contain my excitement over a new collaboration with the super creative and fun photographer Donna Jernigan... more to come!

As ever... so, so grateful for you being here, Whitley
