\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m having an overly optimistic Monday for absolutely no reason. Actually, I took the time to accessorize today and am channeling my inner prep-girl a la Blair Waldorf with a pearl choker and bow headband that’s supercute. And, P.S., I just scored it at For Love 21 <\/a>at Scottsdale Fashion Square for dirt cheap: $1.50 for two headbands so go scoop them up now!<\/p>\n

But besides that, I’ve decided no need to be grouchy on Mondays. Yeah, I know, a full week of work lies ahead but it also means a full week to make it a spectacular one; that’s five full days to get it right, get things done and have a fab time. (If you’re still wondering about my grossly chipper mood you can also blame the Starbucks I grabbed this morning).<\/p>\n

The weekend was a bit slow, save for the Desperate Housewives season premiere last night and Friday when I made it out to the DC Ranch Fall Fashion Show. It was nice to be out and actually enjoy nice weather! Plus, I was superexcited to wear my (somewhat) new outfit I concocted earlier in the week. (When I’m feeling randomly creative and inspired I have these dress-up evenings where A. I’m so very glad I don’t have a roommate to witness my madness as B. I make a disaster combining unexpected outfits and accessories together until I find something totally fresh and inventive.)<\/p>\n

My mission as of late had been to figure out this Mason dress I got over a-year-and-a-half ago at the now defunct Mahsa. Up until this Friday, the tags were still intact as I could never figure out what the heck to wear this dress with! It’s a perfect example of why you should never be swayed by a sales price. The whole purchase was my fault really, I got distracted by the 70% off tag and completely ignored the fact that the dress was too big and bought it anyway.<\/p>\n

So I had a stroke of brilliance earlier last week and finally found the perfect match: this black Lauren Felton vest I got at Fleur’t<\/a> (which P.S. I will be wearing probably ALL the time this fall) and it worked great. I rocked it with my new Steve Madden snakeskin shoes<\/a> and layered tons of gold chains. It was supercute. Plus, since the vest has pockets and it would have overloaded the outfit, I stuffed my camera and BlackBerry in there and went sans purse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the fashion show, we stopped by all the DC Ranch boutiques which were offering sips and sales till 9 p.m. and I totally fell for this metallic Rafe bag at Scarpe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And they have it in a clutch version too. It’s sooooo adorable!!<\/p>\n
