Today's Outfit:
- Marc Jacobs top
- My new BCBGeneration cardy that I can't get enough of
- James Avery charm bracelet
- Silver bangles
- Fashion Express handbag
- Rogan for Target skirt
- Anne Klein New York shoes
I love bargain shopping. One of my favorite Seinfeld lines is when Kramer announces that "Retail is for suckers!". As crazy as Kramer is, he is kind of right on this one. Why pay retail when you can get things at a discount? My top is from Neiman Marcus' Last Call, the cardigan is from the BCBGirls outlet (and they were having a 50% off sale at the time), the handbag is from Marshall's, skirt from Target and shoes bought at Loehmann's. You can get the right brands and the right look without paying a lot.

Night out last night:
- Rubbish tee
- Jones New York scarf
- Necklace from Urban Outfitters
- Citizens of Humanity jeans
- Clutch from BP Nordstrom
- Anne Klein New York shoes
This outfit shows the power of accessories. Without them, this outfit is just a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. But with the right accessories, it becomes a stylish Saturday night outfit.

Next Thursday, August 28th, I will be speaking at a shopping party at Current Boutique. I'll give a brief presentation on fall fashion and then I'll be around to dish out style advice. And Current is having a special 10% discount on all merchandise at the event if I'm not enough to entice you to come out! :) Send me an email if you would like to come and I can forward you the evite or get you on the list. Hope to see everyone next week!

I'm feeling a little preppy lately. I pulled out this polo I haven't worn in a couple of years. :)
Casual day:
- Ralph Lauren polo
- Mimi Chica shorts
- Gold bangles from BP Nordstrom
- Gold cuff bought in London
- Sam Edelman shoes
My preppy kick is just in time for the Junior League Shop Hop at Vineyard Vines on Sept 17th. Enjoy a 10% discount on all merchandise with 10% of sales going back to the Junior League to support our community programs and efforts to promote literacy in the DC area. Let me know if you want me to put you on the list!
I would wear this polo dress from Vineyard Vines as an easy throw-on outfit for the fall. But I would roll up the sleeves a little and add some funky bangles to avoid looking totally Martha's Vineyard.

Beach Style:
- Dress from Old Navy kids department
- Sunglasses from BP Nordstrom
I am still wearing my aviators but these classic Ray-bans are the hot new style in sunglasses. (Pic from thesartorialist.blogspot.com)
There are also sunglasses that never go out of style. This is my sister, Ginger, in her classic Gucci sunglasses. (I posted this pic without her permission - hope she doesn't object!)
