Good evening ladies! I hope everyone had a great day today. I had an incredible and inspiring day. I will talk about this more in a separate post because it really deserves its own post. I am working on an event right now with children who are cancer survivors and they and their families have really made me see life in a new perspective. They are so strong, brave, positive and inspirational. Like I said, I will share more in another entry once the event is over, but I feel so amazing right now just from getting to know these families and feel their positive energies and spirits.
Today I wore a new dress today that I got at Palais Royal. I honestly hadn’t shopped there before last week. I was at the Beauty Bar event with Napoleon Perdis and decided to check out the clothes once I had finished my interview. I was surprised to find this cute black dress on sale for $39.99. I also got an additional 30% off of that price so it came to $30.02. It originally retailed for $74. It feels and fits great. I am really happy with it!
Shoes- Jessica Simpson
Belt- Tory Burch
Sweater- White House Black Market
Bag- MbMJ

Very cute dress!!!

SUPER cute dress! Yes, I will stop in a store that I "swore off", and find that the store's style evolved or they started carrying a lot different stuff. I like to give stores a second chance, but I always wait a while. Once I am disappointed with the selection of quality, it takes quite a while before I willing to stop back in the store and give it a chance. Good buy! : )

That is a great dress, and I like that you paired it with a brown belt.

Lulu's stealing your spotlight! 🙂 What a cutie!
Cancer patients/survivors are simply amazing. Their strength and spirit are incredible, makes me appreciate life everyday I go to work.

That dress is wonderful, and it looks great with that belt!
I recently went into the Steinmart in my new hometown after swearing it off years ago…and was VERY pleasantly surprised. Didn't buy anything, but will definitely stop by again.
Nina says
I wrote off JcPenney for a long time but I recently went back because someone recommended it for professional clothes. I used to think the stuff they carried was very "old" but lately I've found tons of cute work clothes for late 20/early 30 year olds.

Natalia Valerie says
I particularly LOVE Lulu as an accesory! He's adorable! Aren't dogs the greatest, I have two and can't imagine life without them.
BTW LOVE LOVE LOVE the belt.
& helping kids with cancer and opening a charity for them is one of my passions and dreams and hopefully I can start the ball rolling with that soon!

Amanda says

Lilly says
That is such a great dress!
Kinsey Michaels says
I really like the way you mixed black and brown together! Very chic dress! I feel like although there aren't many stores I swore to never shop at, there're many new looks I never would have given the chance, but have decided to (case in point: the romper I rocked last night!)
Andi says
Cute dress, I love that belt!
Lulu is getting so big!
Miss K says
love this outfit! black/tan are my fave combos to wear. it always looks chic and can be worn year round
Amy Drinkie says
That dress is super cute…maybe I should give Palais Royal another try. The last time I shopped there was at the re-opening of the Westheimer @ Wilcrest location after their facelift 15-ish years ago.

I actually used to completely abhor White House Black Market. My aunts and all their 50+ friends shopped there for their neat black pants and cardigans and I thought gross, no panache. Then I saw a silk hibiscus print halter through the window one day and I was hooked. Proud black book member since 2006.
