Still feeling a little patriotic after Independence Day! Β This would have been a GREAT OUTFIT for the 4th of July, but I didn’t pack my white jeans because I was pretty sure they’d be UN-white after running around the city with a baby!
The Style Rx:Β Pair a busy top with white bottoms {jeans, shorts, skirt} in the summer or black in the winter. Β It keeps the outfit simple but fresh.
I scored this beautiful floral top and earrings after ourΒ lunch with People Style Watch fashion director, Kate Dimmock, at the JCPenney’s Headquarters. Β What a treat to hear about her different experiences in the fashion world! Β I’m always so intrigued by what makes a person who they are and how they’ve gotten to their place in life.
Kate was kind enough to share her first interview experience at Vogue. Β She said that she wore an Ann Taylor suit (because that’s what she thought she should do) and met the editor who was head-to-toe in Comme des Garcons. Β (For those of you that don’t know, Comme de Garcons is a Japanese fashion label that is VERY FASHION FORWARD with their cuts and shapes. Β Think of The Jetsons but in a good way!) Β Anyhow, she welcomed her by saying, “WELCOME!” and Kate replied back, “WELCOME!” Β I laughed out loud, only because I did the EXACT SAME THING during a pharmacy school internship interview that I was nervous about. Β The interviewer named George said, “Hello!” and I replied back, “HELLO! Β I’M GEORGE!” Β Luckily, I still got the position! Β :)
I hope y’all had a wonderful holiday weekend! Β We are still in NY until tomorrow… then back to the real world of house showings, packing, moving, work, etc.
That top is everything! Absolutely gorgeous!![My Profile](https://styleofsam.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)
