I love this outfit and I love you guys' taste in general, but I have to wonder about these "day to night" outfits. All the fashion mags and blogs seem to run one of these every week. This "problem" gets tackled so often!! Is there really that much going out to glitzy places straight from work??? Really?? Me, I go home, have a shower... I can still get to the glitzy place by 7 p.m., if indeed anyone starts partying that early, which they don't.

I decided to post this because of the upcoming season of holiday parties. I work and live in different cities. Frequently, I'll only have enough time to stop for food before I go to a party. For me and becca (who has traffic nightmares to deal with in Chicago), this is a very real problem.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
