So usually I do a lot more accessories, but today was exhausting and for several reasons it did not happen for me today. (1) I wanted to show case the dress which I'm obsessed with! I love anything that looks like its made out a curtain. It reminds me of that part of Sound of Music where she makes the children play clothes and then they go to the fountain and sing, "Doe a Deer..." (2) The other reason it didn't happen was I simply didn't have time. Any mom out there can tell you how exhausting it is getting yourself and a two year old out the door, even worse when there a puking incident while your walking out...TMI?

Either way I looove this dress and got several compliments on it. The Eva & Zoe nude shoes are so insanely comfortable and I love the little kitten heel on them, perfect girly touch.

HerExchange & Outfit Posts

On a different note, I was completely inspired by a recent blog post from one of my fellow DC Fashion Bloggers. A Lacey Perspective is an amazing creative blog centered around "women, fashion, and politics". She recently posted about being jealous of the women in NYC and how they are able to wear what they want and nobody looks at them with crazy eyes. I could NOT agree more! Having lived in NYC for two years I learned you can basically wrap a trash bag around your body and call it a dress and nobody looks twice.

After reading Lacey's posts I too have decided to lead by example and not fall into the rut of other women in DC by putting this seasons trend in the back of our closet because we can't 'pull them off' in a town like DC.

I to am joining Lacey in owning what I wear & what I love to wear. I am going to do an outfit post once a week and own it! Thanks Lacey for the inspiration!

(NOTE: I have never met Lacey, only know her through the blog world. BUT She does work in my neighborhood and I have seen her a couple times - She always looks fabulous and can pull off just about any look.)
