SHE SO CHIC HITS THE NET!!!

"A Girl Should be 2 Things: Classy and Fabulous"
- Coco Chanel

SHE SO CHIC is for that self- professed Fashion Whore. That girl who dreams up outfits to go to the grocery store! Visions of  Barneys Warehouse Sales, the latest Alexander Wang, and the perfect vintage Halston dancing in our sleeping heads.

You can call me SheChic. Think of me as the Coco to your Chanel. Chicness is not just about the label or the price tag. It's the excitement of  finding Donna Karen Couture studded peep toe cha- cha heels for $50 in the most unlikely of places.  Slipping them on with your comfiest beat up jeans and a wife beater...I'm getting all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it! I know all you like- minded fashionistas are thinking you've hit the Motherload. This is a two- way street. I want to know what does and doesn't work for you. Have an incredible find that no one else could possibly appreciate? I wanna know about it! Here's one for you.

Recently I had an interview at a very well known fashion house. It's always hard to know what to wear for an interview but this was particularly tough. I scoured all of my usual haunts with no luck. I was looking to channel a little 80's Ralph Lauren in the Hamptons look. A light weight summer pant suit. Seems simple enough. Not so much. Everywhere I looked there was a sea of black. It seems as though designers think black is always best in these matters. Not so. Throw on some white or cream . Make a statement! I digress, 1 day before the interview I found myself standing in front of NY&Co. Typically known as a "mall store" along the lines of the Limited. When I entered, there was a wealth of non- black suiting available. After finding a "perfect" cement colored silk combo with a longer 3 button jacket I thought I had struck gold. Unfortunately, the pant pulled across the front doing no justice to the carefully constructed pleating. Never one to be discouraged when it comes to shopping, I soldiered on. The sales associate then pointed out a rack of 50% off  pieces. There I discovered a poplin 2 button blazer with a blue and white seersucker lining and matching pant. Score! Needless to say it was perfect and at half off I payed $35 for both. See you just never know. Paired with a $12 navy ,cotton/ silk tank from Banana Republic and brown wooden Kenneth Cole heels it all came together seamlessly (pun intended). Sadly I didn't get the job but Damn I looked good!
