**After Dark**

Although blogging can be a very time consuming and difficult thing to do, there are some great perks to it!  Case in point… invites to fabulous fashion events around the city!  It’s always a great night out when you get to experience something new, event wise, instead of just doing the typical dinner night out thing.  While working for Chanel, us Saks girls were always out and about attending more of the larger events like Hour Mags “Best of Detroit party, (which is right around the corner this year)”  and “Fashion Bash.”  I was extended an invite by The Fashion Massacre Group to come view day 1 of a 2 day fashion show where they displayed a number of designers and their current collections.  Such a cool show with really impressive work!  Side note:  My shots are actually all taken on the steps of the congregational church where the event was held.  Anytime I attend these types of events, I try to kick things up a notch.  It took me a little while to put this post together because a couple of my original pieces are now sold out but I was able to find some that are very similar.  I am very petite in size so I love anything that looks elongated on me.  These wide leg slit pants are a perfect example of that.   They are high wasted and have an amazing drape to them so they gave me the exact confidence I was looking for when I had the outfit in my mind.  Since it’s a little hotter out now, I wanted to expose a little bit of skin to break it up a bit.  But you know I have a modest side so I couldn’t just leave it without throwing something over my arms.  This longline blazer from Zara has already paid for itself since I have already worn it 5 times.  A record if you ask most of my friends lol 😉  I kept my accessories a bit edgy too by mixing metals and adding some fun pins to my hair for an extra wow factor.  I felt that my chrome heels were a subtle color and didn’t take away from the main focus of the outfit.  Since my pants and heels are sold out, I added a few different options for you to be able to achieve the same look.  Shop here:
