The Boy’s Prom was over the weekend and there were plans to meet at a local hotel for pictures. He went with a very large group that rented a large bus for the night. I wasn’t quite able to stick to my outfit remix plan for Saturday as my Zora Tee was dirty. I subbed in my Ruffled Rhinestone Top and new Tory Burch Alexa Sandals I found at Nordstrom Rack.

Here are a few pictures from the evening. The Boy had a great time and I didn’t cry ;-).

We’ve been invited to a New Year’s Eve party and the dress requested is “Black and White”. You might as well have told me to wear a potato sack. I know it’s classy and can be chic but for someone who likes color and who already had her outfit picked out I am in a bit of a dilemma.

Here’s what I’ve put together on my Stylebook app of items I already own. I have some dressy wool black J Crew shorts but Husband nixed those so pants it is.

1) J Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Black, J Crew Stretch Perfect Shirt, Talbots Satin Pants, Sloane Velvet Crisscross Pumps, Grande Crystal Drops Necklace

2) J Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Black, J Crew Tipped Silk Tee in Windowpane, Talbots Satin Pants, Sloane Velvet Crisscross Pumps

3) J Crew Sequin Shawl Collar Sweater, J Crew Ruffled Rhinestone Top, Talbots Satin Pants, Sloane Velvet Crisscross Pumps

4) J Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Black, Kate Spade Shannon Top, Talbots Satin Pants, Sloane Velvet Crisscross Pumps

So I need your help. Which outfit should I wear? I haven’t put any of these on together so the Schoolboy Blazer may not work with the Satin Pants or the Satin Pants not go with the Sloane Velvet Pumps. 
Do you have any other ideas for Black and White outfits? I have the Scalloped Dress in Black and the Fluted Skirt in Double Crepe in Black but would definitely wear tights with either of them. Of course, my original outfit was built around the Gold Stripe Mini Skirt.

Quite a few of my favorite purchases are currently on sale, plus the 30% 40% off Sale can be applied at checkout. There are some great deals to be had and all not Final Sale…yet!

Gold Stripe Mini Skirt, Size 8, $99
Cashmere Tee, Medium, Black (not on sale but 30%)

Mini-Bows Sweatshirt, Medium, $79.99 – Easily dressed up or down, I’m tempted to get another as a back-up.

Merino Fair Isle Sweater, Medium, Black/Natural, $79.99
Crinkle Boy Shirt in Black Check, 8, $79.50
Matchstick Cord, 29, Sunwashed Sand, $69.99 (other colors are varied in price)

Embroidered Peasant Top in Green Plaid, 8P, $79.99

Italian Silk Secretary Blouse in Tapestry Print, 8, $199.99 – I don’t regret this full-price (with a discount) purchase but lucky you who will get this at sale price and 30% off, with no Final Sale.

Medallion Tie-Silk Skirt, 8, $99.99
Cece Leather Ballet Flats, 7, Black, $89.99 – Another item I’m considering ordering as a back-up. I wear flats so much and black flats are a necessary item in anyone’s closet.

Schoolboy Blazer in English Tweed, 10, $219.99
Ruffled Rhinestone Top, 6, White, $79.99

Silk Gingham Top, 6, $79.99 – Don’t accidentally put this in the wash as the silk will shrink and the Polyester lining will not. Not that I might have done that. Just giving you a little tip.

Collection Embroidered Neon Floral Skirt, 8, $169.99 – I cannot wait for Spring to wear this again. I thought about a Black Cashmere Tee but that seemed a little harsh against the neon bottom. If I figure out a way to wear this for Winter I’ll post the Que Bella.

And finally, this is not on sale but I am SO HAPPY I purchased the Tuxedo Topcoat!
Those are my “no regrets” sale items. Just a few of my favorite things this year.
Happy Shopping!

If you haven’t noticed, I don’t wear a lot of jewelry. I buy it but I don’t wear it. I always take it off at the last minute. That’s why I am really liking the Ruffled Rhinestone Top in White. It has built-in bling. I don’t know why the Tilda didn’t appeal to me like this top did. Maybe because there is more “bling” down the placket? I grabbed this top a few weeks ago while it was on promo and there was a 30% off. But with the crazy pricing games it’s now back to full price.That was the same with these Mid-Rise Toothpick Jeans in Carbon. They were on promo and there was a % off. I was able to get them for net $66. That was before the Jeans promo. I found these Louboutin Simple 70 Pumps on ebay in a color I’ve been coveting forever – a deep Cranberry. Love my Loubies!

This top also dresses up a blazer, like the Schoolboy Blazer in English Tweed.  I originally tried it on in a size 8 but I knew it wasn’t the right size. When I was making a return last week I tried it on in a size 10. Way much better fit through the shoulders and arms. I have realized it depends on the material that the blazers are made of to determine my size in them. The Linen Schoolboy I have is a size 8 and fits about the same as this blazer.

I really wish it would cool off so I could wear this outfit. It looks so good!

Have a Great Monday!
