That Time I Dressed Like A Ballerina...

Fashion confession:  I have dreamed of donning a tulle skirt since Carrie Bradshaw posted it on the side of a cross town bus, all those years ago.  Alas, it's lack of practicality has kept one out my closet.  Until now.  It's not like 30-something mother's of three have suddenly deemed Whole Foods black tie optional, or anything crazy like that.  I just (finally!) have some pretty things around, that require a gorgeous backdrop.  It's official shop business!
 And, I have to say, this blush beauty from Space 46, was well worth the wait!  Because it was part of a "merchandising" venture, I kept the look simple...with a fitted white button down shirt.  A necessity I've been on repeat with, of late.  The outfit is ladylike, and pretty, and the perfect way to showcase the accessories...the jewels, in particular!
 And...we'll talk about those in a minute.  But first, the shoes!  At least once a year, I find a shoe that does the job of a dozen.  The Lanie stacked heel is that shoe, especially in this cracked copper hue.  It came in such a varied range of colors and fabrications that, I may have, picked up an extra pair.  They are currently on sale, so now is the time to explore your options...
 A statement necklace has always been a signature for me, and it's always a bonus to find a great one in mixed metal.  It opens a world of possibilities for piling on the jewels elsewhere...a must for merchandising this outfit up, a bit.  In total, this look is rocking three different "metals"...silver, gold and copper!  Luxe, luxe, luxe!
This particular necklace was a KMV signature statement piece, but it is nearly sold out!  Just one piece (message for details) left!  Looking to restock this beauty for Fall!
 I could not get enough of this clutch this Summer!  The Sprinkle Clutch, in all it's multi-colored glory,  has gotten major play...with everything from this fancy-pants skirt, to jeans and a tee!
And, because this post has become a confessional, of sorts...I am, just now, getting into the layered bracelet, "arm party," situation.  I know, I know...forever late to the party.  In this case, however, there was good reasoning.  With twin babies, any wrist wear was forever getting caught in hair, or risking a scratched face.  I ditched it all, including my trusty watch.  Now, with those babes at nearly five years old (yikes!  where did that time go?), and my big girl (9!) getting into the bracelet craze, I'm ready to embrace again!  And, come Fall, you are going to benefit!  A gorgeous array of stackable, arm-party ready bracelets are en route to the Shop!  The blush beaded cuff, shown, is still available in limited quantities.  Stay tuned for more beauties, including one with a cause dear to my heart...
So, that's it, my "ballerina" moment.  Too much fun!  So much, in fact, that I may very well be sporting this tulle fabulousness at Whole Foods sometime very soon!
