| How I planned it vs. How I wore it |
Last Friday I got to participate in a really cool event - BRINK magazine and vitaminwater's uncapped Fashion Show. They picked four local designers to compete in a runway show, and assigned each designer a mentor (a la Tim Gunn). I played mentor to designer Eliza Torres, who totally blew me away with her finished product and ultimately took home the grand prize (woo hoo!). It was a really fun night and I loved seeing the hours of preparation that went into the show beforehand (I was literally dressing models in a bathroom!). For the event I wore this Moda dress from MJR Sales that I've had for awhile but is comfy and felt right for the occasion. I originally considered doing something different and pairing the dress with brown, but at the last minute I switched to black shoes, purse and belt and kept it simple. It was a great night! :-)

The purse is currently sold out. :( great outfit though. I love zebra print.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress and what a fun event! Definitely think you made the right decision leaving the belt, it gives a longer and leaner look :)

ReplyDeleteJ, you look great as usual! I was wondering (and this is probably too personal) but where has your wedding ring gone?
ReplyDeleteI love that dress and I love it with the brown! I would have never thought to pair the 2.

Eliza Torres ............ (who is just SO incredibly talented in this little 03:18 video Eliza Torres - Uncapped or http://vimeo.com/29787853!!) ............ did a wonderful job of INTERPRETING vitaminwater ZERO Squeeze Lemonade's *colors* of metallic gold and silver; off-white; and light gray IN her Fashion Collection!! You also did an equally-wonderful job in your mentoring of Eliza ............ and in your very thoughtful/insightful On-Air Fashion Commentary, too ............ (i.e., at approximately the 02:40; 04:35; and 10:40 points in the VIDEO Recap of the Fashion Show)!!
The outfit you styled and wore yourself, for the evening, was really classy-and-polished: and I also think you'd *ROCK* Eliza's charcoal cuffed shorts, (with the metallic gold pinstripes), from the show: I'd genuinely love to see all of the different ways, J, that ............ you'd be able to style them, too!!
