What to Wear When: It’s Your Last Day of Your Twenties

Well, this is it kids.  The dreaded doomsday has arrived.  I’ve reached my peak.  It’s over.  Goodbye beer bingers and hello Botox benders.  Things are about to get real up in here.  I’m turning 30!  But today I’m still 29 and I’m going to do it up 90’s style- a small tribute to my childhood/teen years.  You only live once: that’s the motto jigga YOLO!

Helen Ficalora Store Opening

I’ve known Helen for about 7 years now from my days working at Lucky mag.  So, when I moved down south to Dallas last year and found out she was opening a store at NorthPark I was thrilled!  Though the store has been open for a few months now, her official opening party is tonight at NorthPark from 6:30-9pm!  I encourage anyone in the Dallas area to drop by for some light refreshments and dainty gold Helen Ficalora trinkets!  I mean, let’s not forget Mother’s Day is just around the corner!

Bar Exam

 

My husband has to retake the bar exam this week (long story short- no reciprocity from NY to Texas).  Now, don’t worry- he’s not actually wearing this outfit.  This is just what I would have worn had it been me taking the bar this week. Of course, I’d go with super comfy clothes, but I would also want to make sure I dressed in layers.  You never know how cold or hot it might be in there and it’s a long day, so you would need to come prepared.  Also- depending on the circulation in the room, your skin could get really dry, so I’d make sure to hydrate with water and some kind of special chap stick.  Lastly (and maybe most importantly), since I know nothing about the law, I would definitely need some kind of lucky charm with me/ answers from God to get me through the three gruesome test days.  Glad I’m not in his shoes!  Best of luck- honey!

What to Wear When: You’re Walking Around Town (AKA- Could be Hit by a Car)

Listen ladies, I don’t know how many times I can warn you about the dangers of going outside your home not looking your best, but if repetition is what you need, then I will say it again.  Every time you “run out on a quick errand” and throw on your old college hoodie and Victoria Secret PINK sweats, just know that you are putting yourself at risk to run into an ex, see that cute boy you’ve been talking to at the coffee shop, or perhaps worse- get hit by a car and end up in the hospital having every nurse, PA, and ER doctor examining your granny panties.  I’m not trying to point fingers here, but this may or may not have happened to a girlfriend of mine.  And now that I know she wasn’t horribly injured (THANK GOD), it’s time to address the other serious issue at hand.  We’re all guilty of it.  I get it,  BUT just THINK about what you are wearing before stepping outside of your safe haven, because you never know who you’re going to run into or who might run into YOU!
