Hot Child in the City

Alright, summer. You came, you saw, and it’s quite clear you’ve decided to extend your stay, but what’s a fashionista supposed to do with all the shades of autumn she’s primed her wardrobe with? She used the calendar’s warning of the change in temps as an excuse to max out her credit card, filling her closet with the latest trends her favorite fashion rags and blogs have been forecasting. Her new fall line has had these rooms booked, and now it looks as though there isn’t any room at the inn.

Seriously, it’s the first Friday night of fall and this style maven’s meeting up with the girls at 7:00 for drinks. The forecast says 85, and she looks into her closet with a puzzled look on her face. Don’t get her wrong: She loves the warm weather just as much as the next girl. But really, summer, you were just so fierce this year, there’s only so many times a girl can wear that spaghetti-strapped turquoise shift, that floral jumper, or that tribal-print tube dress. It’s clear she loved these pieces to pieces, but they’re in desperate need of a vacay with all the mileage they’ve accumulated.

Oh, but what’s this? It seems our damsel forgot she bought a sexy, sleeveless number when she got carried away with her shopping spree. Thankfully, black is always in, no matter the season or the place. The zipper detail in the front of this Graham and Spencer Charmeuse Dress adds some edge while the ruffled pleats of the neckline boast elegance. The perfect solution to what is looking to be a perfect evening now that she’s got that fashion dilemma taken care of. Yep, all eyes are sure to be on her tonight--which is all a girl could ask for.
