My Kimono Skirt

I picked up this amazing Kimono wrap skirt from Zara over the summer and I am totally obsessed with it. I have been trying to force myself to be comfortable wearing skirts again since I packed on a few pounds. *coughalotofpounds* I could not take wearing jeans in the hellish DC summer anymore so I whipped out the skirts. While I am busting my butt in the gym to shed the weight I am trying not to mentally restrict myself from clothing I love because thats just plain dumb. [ sidebar: Im so happy that it is finally Fall! Bring on the cool weather.] 







Jacket - Zara
Camisole - H&M

A Night with Dior

On Thursday I went with Jess and Max to April's (MyDCStyle) fall preview event at the Dior Boutique in Chevy Chase! I must admit that I never really thought much of Dior. I thought Dior stood for gaudy and over the top a la the monogrammed saddle bag. But boy was I wrong! 



All of the pieces were stunning and well constructed. I learned that M. Dior was not only an architect but an esteemed gardener as well. His love for both architecture and gardening are often referenced in the house's clothing. M. Dior believed the flower held the perfect silhouette and was once quoted as saying "I make flower woman".

 


I seriously lusted over everything I saw. Dior has won me over without a doubt. Once gain thank you April!  I thoroughly enjoyed the event. 



I was clearly overwhelmed by all the lux and beauty. (LOL) 
I wore a ZARA lace blouse, H&M pencil skirt, and I finally wore my Sam Edlemen shoes!
