What NYC Recessionista Wears: Preppy Pleats

I’ve been itching to wear this NY & Company skirt ever since I bought it during the Fashion’s Night Out event where I met Stacy London … and Tuesday was finally the perfect weather for it!

This heart necklace was in the gift bag at the LuckyFABB conference and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. It’s just so simple and pretty.

I like that while it’s technically referred to as a mini-skirt, it’s still long enough where I don’t feel like I’m going to flash the neighborhood every time a gust of wind comes 🙂

I bought these boots last fall and they’re one of the most comfortable pairs of heels I’ve ever had. There’s so much cushioning in the footbed, and they’re really sturdy. Plus, ladies never believe me when I tell them that they’re Clarks.
