Good morning! Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the grand opening party of Rent the Runway's new showroom location in Georgetown D.C. You can now browse, try on, reserve, or pickup a rental all in one day. The space is so beautiful. Designer gowns, cocktail dresses, handbags and accessories at every turn and don't get me started on the dressing room! Each room has their own mirror with adjustable lighting! From day lighting to evening lighting. There's even a "selfie mirror" where you can take up to 3 photos so you can see how you photograph in the rental. I'll take one of those for my house please, thanks!
One thing I've learned about staying stylish during the cold months, is to invest in a statement coat. Outerwear is obviously important in keeping us warm. It's also the only way of showing off your individual style. You don't have to spend a fortune. Forever 21 and H&M have some really great options. I purchased this grey plaid coat from Nordstrom during their anniversary sale for $80 off the original price! (whoop whoop!) Grey is becoming one of my favorite colors to wear and I really love the men's inspired feel of this coat.
To me, pencil skirts are one of the sexiest pieces of clothing you can wear. There's just something about it! The way it hugs your body while still letting the imagination wander. You usually see them worn in an office or dolled up for a sexy nighttime look. For this look I wanted something casual and edgy while still being sexy. What's the easiest way to be edgy? Leather! LOL And a little pop of animal print doesn't hurt.
