It's Here, && Then It's Gone!

People say all you need is a moment... I say make a moment! Over, and over, and over again!!

Yesterday Kelly Cutrone of People's Revolution had a book signing in Bryant Park for her new book, If You Have To Cry Go Outside. (If you don't know who this woman is google her..anyone claiming to be into fashion should know of her.)I decided to take this as an opportunity to network. What did I wear?

Interview attire:

• black slacks
• closed toe shoes
• plain tank
• short sleeved jacket/blazer

*hair was pulled back, glasses to look smart lol...and seafoam colored polish that gave the sometimes boring interview look POP!



Why interview attire? Call me ambitious..why not?? Be prepared for anything and everything and All The Above!!..&& with that, dress the part! Just like the saying "rather be OVER dressed than under dressed", it's better to be OVER prepared or prepared for the MOST, than prepared for the LEAST.

Outcome:

• I didn't have the book, so she gave me a free copy!
• I was directed to go to People's Revolution and pick it up myself, so I was able to see inside the office first hand
• She autographed a post-it since I didn't have the book at the time, lol
• She complimented my seafoam nail polish ..YESS!!
• Nice little convo of my future plans
• She took my business card :D

So in the end, I did feel accomplished. Whether or not she saw me as "riffraff" or potential employee, Idk...BUT Kelly is definitely on my radar and we will meet again ;)

Event Swingin' in the City

For The Career Woman

Financially pressed? Get the MOST of your $!!

1. Find free events to attend, so that transportation is the only thing you have to dish money out for
2. Attend more than one event while in the area
3. Get something from the event *this is a time when "showing face" is not enough, especially when you're on a budget:

• >>network
• >>exchange business cards
• >>go where there's drink specials! (or open bar ;) lol

My "three event find" in the city included: an after work lounge spot, a blogger's social, and a red carpet cocktail event... What did I wear that was suitable for all?

• >> All BLACK= Classic, versatile
• >> Pencil skirt= Sophisticated & chic, yet professional
• >> Heels= Always a MUST!!
• >> Cocktail ring= Cocktail event!
• >> Big earrings= No necklace

You've Been Spotted!!

Summer Jam 2010 Edition

I thought this was done?

The "sag" trend is long gone, and even when it was a trend the proper underwear would be boxers, not briefs! So0o0o0o unattractive!!

Two Wrongs don't make it RIGHT!!

"See thru" and lace is cool, but there's a limit...and they passed it! They took something that cold be classy and made it trashy. Shame on them!!

What's this man recording?

The Two Wrongs!! SMH.. Who's worst??

There's a concert going on, celebrities on stage. Yet apparently this man thought the Two Wrongs booty shakin' was more intriguing. Guess they got the attention they were craving for!!

DOUBLE Hit!!

This woman..smh, this poor woman. Why didn't someone tell her ankle bracelets...over socks...with sneakers!! is a NO GO?! Where are her friends?? Does she not read magazines? This could have easily been corrected!! And then that fake Louis bag!!! Aww man, not even looking at the material and color variation you can tell...look at the LV's... they're upside down!! Disaster!!
