Thinking Younger

Happy Friday! It's been a long week, but a good one. I'm excited to announce that I became an aunt for the fifth time on March 1st; my sister, Gail, gave birth after about 12 hours in labor. Her son, Max, is a healthy 6 pounds and 12 ounces, with a sprinkle of blonde hair, his mother's nose, and two doting parents. I can't wait to meet him the next time I'm in Chicago.

Now, my only questions is: When will I have a niece? Everyone is having boys these days.

Outfit of the Day

I am totally in love with today's dress, which, in all honesty, is a little different for me. It's silk and a tad bohemian, but still ultra feminine. I love the unique puffed sleeves, perfect for covering up on this cool March day, while the low v-neck adds a hint of sexiness.

Dress: Diane von Furstenberg Lizbeth Silk Dress

You can still find the dress online at Neiman Marcus, where it's on sale for about 60% off.

If you're a fan of the TV show, Younger, you may have originally seen the dress when Liza wore it to the office in the Season Three episode, "What's Up, Dock?" If you're not watching this show, you should be! It's one of my favorite shows on TV right now. New episodes will premiere this summer, so now is the perfect time to catch up.

Shoes: Manolo Blahnik BB Bronze Metallic Pumps (no longer available, but check out this similar style)

I actually had multiple options when it came to footwear today, but I decided to go with these pointy-toe Manolos to help bring out some of the bronze undertones in the print. Did I choose wisely?

Today is not only special because it's Friday, but also because I reunited with someone I haven't seen in about 20 years. I babysat the three Henard kids - Michael, Robert and Blake - from 8th-12th grade, and I will always love them. (I often say that I had such a good experience with them that I don't need kids of my own!) This morning, I finally had the opportunity to catch up with Michael, the oldest Henard, and meet his beautiful family. I still can't believe he's all grown up.

Now

Then

Super Tuesday

It's Super Tuesday, and yes, I did get out to vote today. Hopefully, you did as well! I am really invested in this year's election, because I feel very strongly that a female president in the White House is long, long overdue. Go Hillary!

My outfit today is from Marc New York by Andrew Marc, a comfortable sheath dress in a beautiful green that I just love. Plus, it features my favorite neckline: the square-neck!

Dress: Marc New York by Andrew Marc Envelope Collar Sheath Dress

You can find the dress in a variety of colors online, like blue, coral and black. I got this dress at MyHabit. Message me if you want an invite.

The dress is also available online at Saks Off 5th, Lord and Taylor, and 6pm. Department stores like Nordstrom also carry the brand. The dress runs a little big, so you may want to try it on first.

The shoes are sold out in bronze, but you can still get them in silver.
