Holidays and Birthdays!

(Thank you Pink Stilettos for including GFS in your feature!)

FRIDAY NIGHT

I had a busy weekend. First, I went to dinner to celebrate a family friend's bday. During that dinner, I realized how much I don't know what's going on in the streets. The girls were talking about bars and clubs and hang out spots...and I had NO idea what they were talking about! Whatsoever. I tried to keep my cool and nod my head like I really knew what they were talking then would run to the restroom to write notes in my phone of the places they mentioned! LOL!

Thrifted Tux Jacket c/o Fashionnette-Work!

Zara cigarette pants

Target Tee and Earrings

Nine West Heels

Charles David Clutch

I decided to rock the tuxedo look. Plus it was all black and lately that's all I've been wanting to wear:)

I passed by this beautiful window display at Donald J. Pliner shoe store on my way to the bday dinner at Smith & Wollensky's. Isn't it fabulous!?! Can you tell that there are shoes in the little floating bubbles?

I ran into the lady who put the display together as she was closing up the store. I so wanted to ask her to unlock the door and let me take a pic INSIDE the display!

Here is the fabulous bday Girl, Candace! HOT, RIGHT!!

This is all I want in a classic shoe. As soon as she told me they were by Pour La Victoire, I immediately decided that this is THE shoe I want for Christmas. Hands down! Period. Point blank. Well those and the Leopard heels by LAMB (look on my sidebar for those beauties)

Shoes found here! I NEED them In red! NEED them (size 8 or 8.5 Santa)

SATURDAY NIGHT

Saturday night, I went to a dear friend's Christmas party. Still wanted to rock all black but with a little funk thrown in there. Hence the statement earrings from ALDO and the blue Paris Hilton heels.

I wore a different thrifted tux jacket, Spanx Tights, Target tee and skirt and Aldo earrings.

(Here I am sleepwalking after such a busy weekend!)

....and a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO Juanette from Fashion Nettework!

(I want to be you when I'm done being me!)

GFS Feature: Christ Chic

This is what I rocked to church today...hence my Christ Chic look:) Remember this dress from the thrift challenge with Juanette from Fashionnette-Work? You know where we thrift for each other every month. Well, the dress was too big so I had it altered...but there's a problem...I didn't listen to the professionals!

(Jessica Simpson Heels)

I took the dress in to alter the bottom part into a "pencil" fit..because everything looks better if it's a pencil fit, right? Well, I had her fit the skirt tight around the kness and she kept saying "no, no, no...too tight."

I blew her off and insisted that I knew what I was talking about.

Well  she was right! It was soooo tight around the knees that I almost needed assistance  getting in the car and going up stairs! Ridiculous! You would think that would be enough to not wear it again...negative. If Victoria Beckham can suffer for fashion, SO SHALL I!

The legend is I've been this way since birth. The story goes that at 3 yrs old, I was told that the stove was hot but I refused to believe it until I kissed the stove...KISSED THE STOVE PEOPLE!! They never had that problem out of me again...

...P.S....remember what happened the last time I didn't listen to the alterations lady...click here
