Everyday Bombshell

Last week, I enjoyed a nice lunch at the ABC affiliate TV station in St. Paul.  I was invited to a meet-and-greet/brainstorming session with the other regular guests on Twin Cities Live.  It was a lot of fun to meet some of the people who I've watched put together terrific segments for the TV show.

I raced over to the TV station during my lunch break from my day-job, so I had to wear something that fit both occassions.  Enter - my new winter uniform:  dress, tights and long cardigan. The long (33") cardigan is key to pulling off this cute/casual look.  Any shorter, and the cardigan will break up the long line and will make me look stumpy and frumpy.  I'm saving my waist-length cardigans for tee shirts and skirts.

The Outfit:
Gray cardigan- gift from my mom
Watercolor print dress- LucieLu
Black tights - Hanes
Black heels- Payless
Silver Christmas bracelet- Red Envelope
Jade mongram necklace- Red Envelope

Everyday Bombshell

I love a good print, for so many reasons. A print with a solid accent around the bust and waist can do wonders for defining curves. It's something interesting to look at. And a print can draw the eye away from my red, chapped, "I've-been-blowing-my-nose-for-three-days" face. Well done, print.
