Actually, my husband would frown on that. I guess one of you should buy this instead.

When I got married, I was looking for something just like this to don for my reception (after I’d shed my veil). I didn’t find mine in time, but maybe I can help you out, my blushing brides. Here it is at Handle and Spout.

If you’re figuring out what to wear for New Year’s, or you just need a purse that isn’t the size of your torso, go have a look at the clutch roundup I just did for Target. Almost all of them are under $20, including the one pictured above, and they’re all pretty darn cute.

I just did a post for them on all the affordable little black dresses they have on offer. A couple of them have sold out since I posted, but here are three of my favorites that are still available:

Flocked Strapless Dress

Embroidered Lace Dress

If you’re having a baby, or love someone who is, this coat is a winner.

Not preggo? This zebra stripe J Crew cardigan is on mega-sale. You’re welcome.

I went out walking with her the other day, and took a couple of pictures.

Because we only had a second to stop someone as they rushed by, I found there were a few key things I looked at first. On women, interesting shoes and bags often signaled that everything else was working too. Mai mentioned that people wearing jeans were less likely to be doing something compelling with their outfits. I noticed that men who pay attention to making their hairstyle unique were more likely to be dressed well too. Also, anyone wearing color stood out, as it’s almost impossible to find people who aren’t in black.

It was a surprisingly educational experience. For hours afterward I couldn’t stop checking people’s outfits for creative sparks, and I found myself getting oddly anxious about my shoes.
