T-Mobile asks fashionistas....

You've seen the T-Mobile commercials with the brunette bombshell in the pretty pink dress hawking cellphones right?

Yep, that's the one.

Well T-Mobile is looking to give their girl a fashion makeover, and they're asking America's fashionistas for help!

 

Head over to T-Mobile's Facebook fanpage to cast your vote in the Great Dress Debate!

Yucky.

First and foremost, let me apologize for the quality of these photos! I forgot just how frustrating indoor pics can be! I suppose I'll need to get used to it with winter and bad weather looming...

But back to the clothes, hmm? I picked up this red pencil skirt at the same time I ordered my polka dot dress - it was another steal for only $10 from Forever21. Yesterday was rainy (hence the indoor pics) and only in the 60's, so out came my very favorite black puff-sleeved blazer - You've seen it before here. Now, one of my very favorite color combos is red, black, and white, so I sifted through my numerous black and white print tops until I came across this sailboat tee, another F21 gem that I usually wear loose.

I went on a shoe rampage last week, guys. I was trying to find the perfect shoe to go with my dress for last weekend's wedding - never before have I been so challenged by a pair of shoes! I had a vision of some sort of metallic pump, one with a sort of purple sheen to it, not too silver. I went to about 6 different places before I gave up that dream and settled on the nude pumps I ended up wearing. But I spotted this pair of low heeled, almond-toed KensieGirl nude pumps for a steal along the way and couldnt say no. Not to them, nor to the black suede wedges I encountered...

A million bucks.

Say the words "Black tie invited" on a wedding invitation and it's my cue to search for the fanciest, most extravagant dress I can find. I spent weeks before Sunday's formal wedding trying on dresses of all shapes and sizes. From long gowns to short dresses; drapey ones, bodycon ones, strapless, to long sleeved, I tried them all, but wasn't sold on any. When I popped into Nordstrom and zipped myself into this curve skimming ruched dress by Adrianna Papell, I knew I found The One. The one that made me feel like ten million bucks - and that is worth every penny :)

Oh, and do you like my hair bling? It's actually a pair an a half of sparkly earrings my sister pinned into my hair! That's improv at it's finest!

Cocktail Dress: Adrianna Papell via Nordstrom

Originally unoriginal

Holy wind! I'd like to thank mother nature for the wind machine she provided for photo number two, though I really wish she would have brought it down a notch.

If you've been around here for a while, you've seen this outfit's siblings before. This ruffled, polka dotted top has made appearances on the blog before, and somehow I just always want to pair it with denim and a bright cardi.

See? But hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

WRONG. I vow the next time you see this top, it will be in a very different way. I'm thinking red pencil skirt and a blazer perhaps...

Cardigan: H&M
Top: Old Navy
Tank: Forever21+
Jeans: Calvin Klein via Macy's
Shoes: Nordstrom Rack
Belt: Nordstrom Rack
Bangles: Syms
Ring: NY&Co
