I LOVE IT WHEN AN "OUTFIT" COMES TOGETHER

As I've dished on air, I dress according to my mood. I don't plan in advance. I don't map out a strategy. I go with what I feel be it comfy. Be it cute. Be it sexy, colorful or whatever. The only exception being when attending an event that has a required dress code. I love when I attempt a new look or never before worn look I should say because what is new for me may not be new for you. But when I rock something new, I love when I just love the look. I like being creative with my style.

Thus a look from this weekend that I rocked while hanging with my Dad. The weather Saturday in Washington, DC was GORGEOUS to say the least. I can't wait until fall. It was sunny. The temps didn't get much above 70 and my Dad and I did everything from a sidewalk brunch to stroll the streets. And my outfit which consisted of men's camouflage shorts (my co-host, +Danielle Gray, is rubbing off on me), a cropped neon tank and black and white wedges were the perfect compliment. I had the shorts for at least two months but never worn and I awoke Saturday morning in the mood for camo. But I so wanted a pop of color too. I hadn't yet worn the tank and it paired perfectly. I tightened up the look with chunky neckwear, arm candy and I love the outfit that came together.

I'm only 5' and I knew my Dad and I would likely be out and about so I wanted to be comfy but still have some height. My Dad towers over me at like 6'4 and I wanted to at least rise above his knee caps in the pictures we would likely take. Secondly, I just wanted a bit more pop and sexiness in my footwear. I just was not in the mood for a total solid color. Honestly, if I wasn't gonna be on my feet for most of the day, I could've totally rocked pumps with this look too. I love doing that the same as rocking a pump with casual sweats and a cute tee and blazer. Peep the #NailSwag. The pink is Urban Outfitters "Hot Tub."

See how tall my Dad is? Now you get why I needed the wedge to give me some height.

And you thought the outfit made my day? Oysters on the half-shell baby!! Hope you had a great weekend too!

How do you dress or plan your looks? This was the first time in a long time rocking menswear of any kind. Have you ever? If so, what?

Lady Erin in Aruba ...

"We had a view from our 16th floor suite that as you peered over the balcony, just made you that much more inclined to spend every available moment on the beach. We were greeted by a royal blue sky above, and azure waters below."

"It is just as acceptable in Aruba to lie out on the beach 24/7 (which I did, a lot), as it is to jet ski, parasail, snorkel or whatever your heart may desire. There are a plethora of activities to choose from, even shopping."

"My companion and I made friends with one particular bartender who, after that first day, made a point to "put his foot in" every drink we requested from that day on. Aruba is tagged as "One Happy Island" and we were surely "Two Happy Travelers" thanks in part to our bartender friend’s efforts."
