Style Matchmaker



 



Dress: Jason Wu for Target, Blazer: Nine West, Belt: Ann Taylor, Shoes: Franco Sarto,
Sunglasses: Kate Spade, Watch: Michael Kors, Earrings: Francesca's, Bracelets: J.Crew

My poor, pale legs are relishing the brief taste of spring/summer weather we've gotten this week. Although truth be told, I didn't realize just how pale they were until I put them on full display in this dress. Like so pale that I am the majority of the white of this red, white, and blue outfit. I half expected people to yell, paper, snow, A GHOST! when they saw me. But I've been dying to wear this Jason Wu for Target dress ever since I snatched it out of someone's hands the morning of the launch, and nothing, not even freakishly pale legs, was going to stop me. It's so ladylike and retro and just all-around chic (none of which are adjectives I would typically use to describe myself), that I just couldn't resist it. And as an added bonus, I already had this skinny red belt hanging in my closet. It's like they were made for each other! Clothing-and-accessories matchmaker, that's me. Probably skills I should add to my official sumé . . . or start applying to my dating life.
