Last week I was in Las Vegas for work. When I wasn’t working I had the chance to get out and do a little shopping and sight seeing. This is a very accessory-centered “episode” of Worn Out. I got some fabulous things at Bettie Page, as well as the cherry shoes pictured below from bebe. I’ve got to say, shopping in Las Vegas was so much fun. I was treated so well by the employees everywhere I went. It was great, and I found so much great stuff! More, non-phone Worn Out photos coming very, very soon but for now, enjoy!

Post-Crazy Horse!!! I have feathers and tulle in my hair, which always gets comments!

70 degrees and sunny — a far cry from Missouri's temps!

Yay! Cherries!

Check out our fantastic, fashionable Christmas sweaters!

Ok, ok, I’m kidding. The real Worn Out is this ensemble from a few weeks ago, when it was fairly cold, but I decided I wanted to find a new way to wear a summer dress in the winter.

Enter the basic black long sleeved t-shirt, and presto, an office and weather appropriate new way to wear a summer dress. Pair with a wide belt, black tights and heels, and it’s ready to go.

Please ignore my cat's rear end...and the giant mess on the shelves back there.

I’ve also got this fairly new BB Dakota coat that I love because it can dress up or down, has pockets that don’t require unbuttoning, and has cute puffed sleeves. Since it was a cold day I also added my faux fur “loop” that I am completely obsessed with. It’s the perfect combo of form and function. Not to mention people always compliment me on it.

So, that was pretty fun, and I like any time I can make a piece do double duty.

Hello all, I’d like to introduce you to Worn Out, the occasional department where I post something I wore, my friends wore, or some random person on the street wore.

To kick things off, here’s what I wore out Friday night, with David and our friend Ivan.

This skirt (Forever 21) is SHORT for me, but somehow with patterned tights (from Target) it feels a bit safer and less scandalous. Have I mentioned I like leopard print (coat, Express)? Because I do. A LOT. This is not the first leopard print coat I have owned.

Also worth mentioning are the bows on my heels, which are actually shoe clips from H&M. Such a fun little accessory to dress up shoes when the mood strikes!

I love when it’s just cold enough that I can wear a coat and be comfortable, but not so cold that I can’t wear skirts. We had a really fun night, which ended with playing over half and hour of music on the video jukebox at The Drop. I like to pretend it’s actually karaoke and sing along…not sure the The Drop’s servers enjoy it as much as I do!

Stay tuned for more outfits very soon!
