Standing out with Colors + A talk with Bette Midler @Wortham Center

Happy Throw Back Thursday or I should say tbt as the net lingo goes. My tbt goes back two days ago when my lovely friends and I attended the Brilliant Lecture Series with the multi-talented Bette Midler as the speaker held at Houston's Wortham Center.

 If you haven't heard of the Brilliant lecture series you'd be in for a nice little surprise with the variety of speakers that have come on stage. What a way to stay inspired! Listening to struggles and triumphs of your favorite public figures, artists, author. Hearing the determination they had as well as  recognizing the opportunities. As Bette Midler put it, "its not about the arrival but about the journey".



 

So what does one wear to such an event. Well for starters its pretty much what I wore to work.
Seeing this picture and all I can think about is the 1990's group Color Me Badd. I certainly stood out with all the colors!

All smiles with my beautiful friends. Loving the handbags! We had a blast before the show eating sushi and of course wine was involved.

The Comfort Zone: Anthropologie Jumpsuit + Banana Republic Tote

This Jumpsuit is the most comfortable piece of clothing in my closet. I can live in this! Lately I've been obsessed with anything that has the Happy Elephant on it.

*Paired this outfit with this Nine West gladiator heels. I prefer to wear heels rather than flats with jumpsuits. Of course heels are always a perfect choice.



*Lovely Burgundy color on this Banana Republic Tote. Pretty much goes with anything. Got this last year during Thanksgiving sales and it has been my weekend go-to bag ever since.

Spring Sparkle with Isaac Mizrahi Sequined Sheath Dress

Beautiful pastel colors on this Isaac Mizrahi sheath dress. Look at the sparkles on those petals!

Perfect dress for spring! I've worn it a couple of times, my only hang up on this dress is that the sequins tends to snag quite a bit so slight caution maybe needed. All the same I'm glad I got it via HauteLook.  

Beauty Edition: Lips and Eyes For The Day

Lately these colors have been my daily go-to makeup. After many years of experimenting with different colors, I've come to learn that I look much better with warmer tones.
