A lot of my wardrobe translates pretty easily from work to weekend. But sometimes, an article of clothing comes along that says – date night or bust baby. This pink, ruffled, one shoulder top does exactly that. And who am I to deny it?
Admittedly, I’m a bit of a cynic when it comes to Valentine’s Day. It all just feels a bit forced. But dressing the part? I’m totally fine giving into that. I think my style has become considerably more streamlined in recent years but from time to time (and especially on a holiday that begs for over the top), I don’t mind adding an extra flounce or too.
Yesterday felt like the first real taste of Spring, and I think just about every man, woman, child and dog in New York City took to the streets. I always love the feeling of the city stirring back to life in the Spring after being hunkered down all Winter.. so to mark the occasion I went for head to toe blush pink.
October is one of my favorite months (pumpkins, cool air, wearing layers…) and it also happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness month – which is a cause near and dear to my heart after seeing both my Grandmother and an Aunt fight the disease. So many of my friends and family have been in some way touched by Breast Cancer (or more broadly cancer in general) so any time that I can make an small contribution to the race for a cure I gladly do so. The products shown here all contribute a portion of proceeds to that cause and when good style meets a great cause it’s really a win, win.
