Because Kaitlyn Loved the T+J Sample Sale!

Lisa and I recently attended the T+J Designs Sample Sale - It was hosted in Jennifer's gorgeous office and because it was just a select group of people, she made it feel very intimate and homey. Appetizers, champagne and endless accessories...that's my kind of Wednesday night.

Love this girl! Not only do we share the same name (with the same spelling which is very rare!) but she's so sweet and has great taste in jewelry...hence my decision to purchase these gorgeous earrings she was wearing...

One of the best parts about attending blogger/fashion events is meeting so many great girls! Johanna has had a closet on bistm.com for awhile now so I was glad to finally meet her in person. She is so easy to talk to and not to mention, we fell in love with her outfit - Chambray, fox sweater, leather leggings and a red lip -- the perfect combo of quirky and chic. 

And a huge thank you to Jennifer for including us in her special night! As big fans of T+J, we were like kids in a candy store shopping her sale. Let us be the first to say, the new line is amazing...Just look at this gem.

I love that it's timeless yet modern -- something you can wear with a t-shirt or a LBD.

And let me just mention that everything on this table was $5 -- practically free in my mind! ;) Needless to say our purses were much larger when we left...

What is your favorite place to buy jewelry?

 

Head over to Stilettos and Diaper Bags today to see Lisa's outfit details and more photos from the event!

Rocked it & Swapped it

Another reason I love swapping with Lisa? It's a great reason to try a style that I wouldn't normally choose myself. I saw this Piperlime top on her and thought she looked gorgeous, but it wasn't necessarily a top I would purchase on my own - Until I wore it, that is. The fringe detail added a little something fun and it was perfect for my day off in the city with my fiance.

Beautiful day in my favorite city!

Do you have someone that inspires you to step out of your box in the style world?

Rocked it & Swapped it

One of the many reasons I love having a sister in-law? If one of my outfit options fails, she has a closet and multiple wardrobe racks full of options waiting for me. It was one of those days where I didn't like anything I owned (big problem, I know) so Lisa came to my rescue with this GentleFawn dress. We both chose to pair it with wedges (mine, nude and Lisa, dark brown) and a braided belt, but Lisa definitely went the extra mile by adding turquoise earrings. I always love a pop of color ;)

Rocked it & Swapped it

This skirt showed up in my "Friend Swap" bag and I was very excited. I had seen photos of Kaitlyn wearing this skirt on Facebook, but was too scared to ask to borrow it. Kaitlyn looks amazing in it! LOVE that she paired it with not only the stripe top, but also mixing the neutrals navy and black together!

So this my friends, is my first time wearing a bandage skirt. Why did I not try these sooner?! I feel like I want to own one in ever color. Seriously! I loved how the pink and blue looked together so much when Kaitlyn wore it, that I ended up pairing it with 2 different blue hues.

Any bandage skirt lovers out there? I think I may be in the market for a bandage dress after this. Any suggestions? I know Herve Leger does an amazing one, but I was thinking of less of a splurge and more as a great deal. Know a place, do tell!
