Wearing Red

Jacket/ Purse/ Sunglasses/ Nail Polish/ Dress (love this one)/ Pants/ Clutch/ Shoes/ Skirt

In a couple of weeks, I will be heading out to Houston for another trip to help start a chapter of my sorority on the University of Houston campus. I am super excited for this trip and can hardly believe this is my third time doing one of these trips. Each one is more fun that the last and I can't wait to meet this team of fabulous ladies when I land. 

While preparing for the trip, I noticed that for one of the events, we are supposed to wear red with black and white. Well, wearing black and white is never a problem in my world, but...RED? I started looking through my drawers and closets and realized that I don't own ANYTHING red. Sure, a maroon-ish pencil skirt... but that is it. So... operation-buy-more-red has commenced and I am actively searching all over town for some red to wear on this trip. I have a dress coming in the mail but I am not sure how cute it will be in person so I am scouring stores like it's nobody's business.

Any suggestions on where to find a great red dress? Help a girl out, would ya?

No matter how many times I play with the settings on my camera I have the hardest time photographing stripes. It seems that no matter what I do, the lines always turn out blurry. 

Maybe Robin Thicke has the same trouble?

Temperatures have been in the mid-seventies for the past couple of days and I took it as a sign to pull out my favorite denim vest from summer. It is one of my favorite items in my closet and was so happy to pair it with a pencil skirt for a completely different look. Also, I had just the right amount of layering to get through the different temperatures heading to and from work.
