Floral year around is my philosophy!

I am a serious (heart attack serious) fan of floral prints, I welcome it into my life with open arms and a warm smile.

I know that the print can veer on the side of matronly, which is why I put extra effort into finding floral prints that have just a bit more sparkle to it.

And thanks to how good last years Black Friday was to me, I was able to acquire this beautifully well made, satin, floral-printed blazer, for an equally beautiful price.

Let's also take a moment to appreciate the cut of this blazer, it flatters just about every shape there is, it even gives a shape to a body that isn't exactly curvy in the waist.

This blazer, as all my Statement Blazers, brings about warm and fuzzy feelings, and though you may not see it...or hear it, my heart is in fact singing.

What I'm Wearing:

Necklace from Charlotterusse.com. $5
White tank from old navy. $7
Blazer from Torrid.com. $38.70
Jeans from Forever21.com. $22.80
Boots from Dots.com. $32

So Beck of Manfattan.com, and I, decided to have a "dinner date". I remember meeting her a few months ago during a NYC Shop & Swap that I covered and posted on my blog a few posts back, and I remember thinking how laid back and slightly crazy she seemed. ( Crazy in a good way... relatable crazy)

Rewind to a couple weeks back.

She contacted me via email for business purposes and we mutually agreed to have a sit down.

Fast forward.

"Date Night" Lol. I had it in my mind that I wanted to dress slightly edgy and preppy, so that's what I did. I love that preppy look sometimes, I guess it's the sweater over a button down that gets me so excited, or the "Bill Cosby Vibe" that intrigues me from time to time.

Style note: Whether the sweater makes it's statement in print, cut, embellishments, or shine; a statement sweater is an essential in a girls wardrobe.

Fast forward to the sit down.

We ended up eating at one of my favorite Thai food restaurants and the conversation just flowed, it was nice to be able to sit down with a fellow blogger, (who has a big enough following to where they may get a big head about it), and actually have nice and normal conversation. She was humble, a trait I look for when associating myself with anyone, and when I found out she was an Aries ...well, well, well.

Honestly it was nice to meet someone who has the potential of being someone that you'd like to associate yourself with, on a friendly level, for more than just one meeting... people aren't the easiest to get along with.

-Cheers to not having a socially awkward time.-
