Standing Out

KNOCKERS!

Success Outside the Dress Code

So I guess the goal is to stand out from the crowd but not really?!

Well, here’s me standing out from the crowd in my $7 black and grey multi-colored thrift store find made by New York and Company and my black Coach boots.

First Day of Spring

KNOCKERS!

The 1st day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere is March 20, 2014!

Spring is slowly peeping through the last dark days of Winter, and so am I.

Today I decided to KNOCK my dark chocolate Jones New York business suit with a burst of cheerful yellow ruffled sleeveless 21Forever blouse; accompanied with chocolate patterned hose and my chocolate BCBG Girl heels.

St. Patrick’s Day

KNOCKERS!

In the grand old American tradition of cultural appropriation in the name of fashion (and the fear of being pinched), I knocked together a “cullaith éadaigh” (suit of clothing) in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day.

Did you know that green is the national color of Ireland? And that wearing the color green to avoid being pinched is an American only tradition? (Thanks Wikipedia) Americans – we like to think of inventive ways to touch each other inappropriately.

Xhilaration Jumpsuit

Knockers!

Run – don’t walk – to your nearest Target and pick up this darling Knockworthy jumpsuit made by Xhilaration for $24.99.

Xhilaration JumpsuitThis black and white chevron jumpsuit is so fun and so versatile, it has become one of my new favorites. And the compliments…ooh la la!

Wear it casually with pointy flats or ankle strapped sandals. Dress it with elegant stilettos or add a punch of color with an Infinity scarf, or teal colored pumps.

Want some edge? Wear it with a dark purple or distressed black leather motorcycle jacket and biker boots.

Cover it with a long soft cardigan or a sheer lace cover up – so many looks to knock.
