Happy Friday! For those of you who know me well, you know I don’t hesitate to break out the pink. Not garish pink or Barbie pink but just, well, pink. I opted out of it this Valentine’s Day, though. I spend most of my days in uniform, and I didn’t want to be wearing the Valentine’s Day uniform {seriously, I think every woman I saw when we went out to dinner was wearing a pink or a red dress}. So to make up for that, and to contribute to this week’s “Friday’s Fancies” theme, if price were no object and if everyone else weren’t wearing the same color, here’s what I might have considered:

My fashion taste loves Louboutin, even if my wallet does not. I just can’t justify spending that much money on something I might wear once. That’s yet another reason I’m so very grateful to have discovered Rent the Runway. Go online, pick your {normally unaffordable} designer dress and accessories, get it delivered {in two sizes just to make sure it fits}, drop it back in the mail when you’re done with it. Seriously, it’s that simple. Thanks to Rent the Runway, I got to show off this Lilly Pulitzer Carolina chiffon dress for a night on the town with my husband and send it back with no fuss. I love asymmetric gowns – I paired this one with an asymmetric hairdo, a sort-of-artfully-messy side bun, simple earrings, a Maori paua shell necklace I bought in New Zealand, black tights {it was cold out there in NYC!}, Armani heels, and a Coach bag. I’m no movie star, but I felt like one – even one of the waiters stopped me to tell me that my dress was beautiful

Dress: Lilly Pulitzer Carolina Chiffon, Hair: messy side bun, Jewelry: purchased on an adventure in New Zealand, Shoes: Armani, Bag: Coach

Hope everyone has had a lovely week and has a wonderful weekend in store!
