My Wardrobe Vocabulary

You know when you buy something that you end up loving so much, that you hold off wearing it... waiting for the perfect occasion? That would be this dress I bought from Modcloth.com about three months ago. 

Orange is not a color in my wardrobe vocabulary, but paired with the pink stripes, I didn't give it a second thought. Yes, "love" is indeed the right word to describe it. This outfit is one of my all-time favorites I've worn on House Of Jeffers... it just feels like me.

My photographer friend, Fernanda, who I worked with at Barneys New York, and I had planned to do a shoot together... and immediately, I knew this dress would be perfect! 

I'm feeling very Alice in Wonderland in these photos, and honestly, I think she made me look more glamorous than I normally do in some of my photos - and I'm not complaining!

Dress To Form

Outfit Details:

Beaded Collar Jacquard Dress - Warehouse / Purple Tights - Target / Pyramid Stud Bracelet - Forever 21 / Black Bow Bracelet - Henri Bendel / Gina Woven Wedge - Shoemint

For years I was on the hunt for a dress form. Luckily, my local Urban Outfitters was selling some of theirs, and I nabbed this dress form on the uber cheap. Both from a design and fashion standpoint, I love the look of a dress form in my bedroom. It lets me try outfits out before I wear them, and acts as a visual piece that I can adorn with my favorite necklaces.

And even though I love accessories, sometimes, you find a dress that really doesn't need much fussing with. Take this Purple Beaded Collar Jacquard dress from Warehouse. Besides for the print being beautiful, it features an adorable bejeweled Peter Pan collar which absolutely acts as the perfect all-in-one-accessory.

I paired it with shoes that are equally ornamental: the Shoemint Gina wedge. Yes, ladies, they are mighty comfortable and worth every penny.

Although I love my dress form, I rather be taking photos outside. Let's hope NJ gets a break in the winter weather so I can step into the sun again!

Friday Fashion Fix: Sequin Pants

I hope ya'll had a present-filled, and dope, Christmas! I have to say I made out pretty well in the gift department this year... and I'll have some goodies to show off in the New Year.

But first, let's get to the point: My pants are sequined, and yes, they are the s$%^. Totally RSVP'ed to the pants party...

L.O.V.E. these gold sequin pants from Black Sheep Clothing. I knew I wanted to wear them for Christmas and figured I needed an equally loud top to make my relatives do double-takes.

Plus, I am no longer a pointy-shoe virgin! Finally bought myself a pair of pointy shoes, after talking to the beautiful people who chat with me during #stylechat a la StyleCaster on Twitter.  This satin Adrienne pumps from ShoeMint are my first purchase. Delicious, aren't they?

Finally, the perfect bracelet from Sorrelli's MiMi collection makes this outfit complete. You know I love me a studded-anything... Right up my alley!

As this is my last new outfit post of the year, I figured I need to go out with a bang! Check back on Monday for my House Of Jeffers year-end recap!
