Iconic

Blokey and I had the unique pleasure of meeting Audi and Sal, who are both total style icons for me, yesterday.  They are as awesome in real life as in person.  And funny.  I am not a bashful person, but I was a bit nervous (in an excited way) to meet such stylish ladies.  Blokey was nice enough to take a picture:


This was my attempt at being intentional with black (or intentional with pink/purple?)

I rarely leave the house on a school night, and it was totally worth it.  But I paid for it this morning, rushing from the gym to a meeting to teaching.  I got to my first class on time, but I had left my notes in my office.  Well, nothing that a quick run to my office and a basket of candy couldn't remedy (Yes, I am a sucker for giving drugstore candy, when it is 50% off from Duane Reade, to my students.  What?  A bit of sugar is good for the brain).
I am a bit behind on commenting on some of the blogs I read regularly. I apologize and I hope to catch up soon.  The semester is kicking into full swing now, and I still need to finish and then start a conference paper within the next four weeks.

    Nice meet-up! Also, your good black intentions (ha! see how that works, pun-wise?) are matching the results in this ensemble. (Really? You thrifted that brilliant dress?! It looks like it was tailored especially for you.) Plus you look all long, lean, leggy, and smart-sexy.

    It's a post full of fin.

    Lucky! I'm so jealous that you got to meet Sal (and Audi, of course)! And purple or black intentionality aside, you look great in your outfit!

    Wow, great meet-up outfit! I have no idea what I'd ever wear to meet such fabulous ladies, but you put together a great outfit.

    I'm sure this comes as a surprise, but I LOVE that bright scarf on you :)

    I am dealing with some serious meet-envy here..! I was planning on coming down to NYC to meet up with Sal, but a stupid back injury prevented me from being able to sit on the bus for three hours. Looks like you guys had a great time!

    Love the intentional with black ensemble!

    Rad--I love this look on you! And the pic with Sally...you're a celebrity now! Have done the same with forgotten notes, but have never tried the candy trick.

    I've had the pleasure of meeting Sal twice and she is soooo insanely nice and easy to get along with! I swear, half the readers of my blog are a result of her, so I LOOOOVE her! Your outfit is phenomenal! The variations on that purpley-pink color are so pretty (the little bits of the shirt peeking out from the dress are my favorite part!)
