On The Plus Side: By The Skin Of My Teeth

Posted By Sarah Conley on Oct 10, 2011 at 9:09PM

On The Plus Side Sarah Conley One of the things I love most about fashion is that you don't always have to make the pretty choice, or the most flattering one for that matter. You can express yourself without even saying a word. Today was one such day. I wasn't wearing a particularly flattering look, but something about it felt right, like the perfect mix of casual and polished.

I'll be the first to admit that this top wasn't the easiest to wear and I pretty much felt naked all day. The color of the houndstooth is so unexpected, especially for me, that I really love how much of a departure this look is for me. It's not good to get too comfortable, after all.

Outfit details:

Hair bow: H&M

Rose gold earrings: Made Her Think (no longer available)

Houndstooth blouse: Avenue

On The Plus Side: Outfit of the Day Birthday Party Edition

Posted By Sarah Conley on Jun 5, 2011 at 1:37PM

Last Thursday night, I shared the most epic birthday bash with two of the hottest blogging babes, Kristin of Fashion.Style.Beauty and Amber of Beauty Blogging Junkie. We figured that since our birthdays were all within a week of one another's and we shared so many friends in common, why not? Our party was held at the Norwood, a private club on 14th street, with about 75 of our nearest and dearest.

To celebrate the day accordingly, my mom and I had a mani pedi session at the Rita Hazan Salon (gorgeous) and then raced downtown to the Ted Gibson Salon for blowouts (naturally). Unfortunately, with all the running around (and admittedly elevated stress levels), I didn't pause to snap an outfit picture. Fortunately my friends, the great lovers of social media that they are, took plenty of photos throughout the night that I've repurposed for my OOTD. Convenient, no? ;)

Outfit details:

Dress: Monif C's Marilyn Ruched Convertible Dress in Coral

Earrings: ASOS (no longer available)

Shoes: Peep toe snakeskin pumps, Avenue (no longer available)

Bracelet: Kate Spade Bow Cuff
