First; if you live in the Queen City, I hope you visit this precious newly built space on the Greenway next to Metropolitan.  It is what I call Charlotte's answer to Bryant Park.  Next; I've had my eye on this skirt from Zara for the last couple of months.  One of the things I was most excited about for my trip to NYC was going shopping there.  I had so much fun putting together this outfit.  The vintage blouse and bracelet belonged to my Great-Grandmother.  I don't normally wear anything with a logo (except my Chaney), but I think these Tory Burch pumps from my favorite high end consignment boutique are just so good looking with the quilting, cap toe and gold detail on the heel. I am in love with my Zoe Lynn & Co. headband hand made by a college friend, and of course, my favorite going out bag.  Back to the skirt... I think there is an age threshold for short skirts, and this skirt is definitely on the mini side.  I will be 36 on my next birthday, but I don't FEEL like I look too old to wear it.  What do you think about women wearing short skirts as they age?  Do you agree about keeping things more conservative?  Could care less about age?

Thanks so much for reading!!

One Of My Favorite Outfits

Here she is.  The lovely Macy girl.  The other lady of the family, and so I am not completely outnumbered.  If you own a lab, or any other dog for that matter, you know what I mean when I say Macy possesses all the qualities any man would seek in a lady.  She's pretty, sweet, intelligent :), kind, loving, good at spooning, comes when called, rarely complains, does not talk back, gives so much, and perhaps most of all, she is loyal to no avail.  I loved having her a part of these photographs as I incorporated this awesome leash from Woman Shops World, made from Saris, the traditional clothing of Indian women. If you would like one of these fun leashes for your four-legged friend, you may use discount code: QCSTYLE for an extra 15% off the entire shop through September!  Don't forget to enter the harem pants giveaway by Thursday!
