    Last week gave me yet another excuse to
    get all dolled up in the middle of the work week.  I attended the
    Fashion Blogger Event at CITY CENTRE, an outdoor shopping mall here in
    Houston, and met a bunch of fabulous Houston blogger ladies.  
    But more on that fun event in tomorrow’s post. 😉
    First,
    I must must must tell you about this floral skirt of mine! I ordered this oh-so-pretty skirt not too long ago from SheInside.  If you haven’t
    shopped at SheInside yet, girl you’re missing out!  This skirt was only
    $20! TWENTY DOLLARS.

    I prefer to invest in staple pieces, but I do love stumbling upon great deals on
    trendier pieces that you know you’re only going to wear a handful of times before they go out of style. 

    I
    know it’s not very “fall” ish, but I figured it being the last week of
    summer and all, I could squeeze this floral skirt in before the seasons really
    changed.  And so I did.  This print could also work well for the
    holidays, maybe with a darker/solid top? … I’m trying to convince
    myself.  
    Fall/Summer/Spring, whatever time of year it is, I think this skirt is worth every single one of those 2,000 pennies that it costs. 🙂

    On another note.  Have you heard about Rocksbox yet? 
    A friend of mine suggested I try it, and now I’m hooked!  I love throwing on jewelry as I’m walking out the door, but I tend to always purchase similar styles and never really branch out of my comfort zone.

    If you’re anything like me, then RocksBox is for you!  You take a fun little style survey then the stylists over at Rocksbox create a cohesive look for you, based on your preferences.

    The box itself is $19 a month.  You “rent” the jewelry but you also get the opportunity to purchase the designer pieces for a very nice discounted price before you have to send them back.  I kind of look at is as an extended “try on” period. If that makes sense. You definitely get to fully “try before you buy”, so you know for sure if the jewelry is worth investing in, and that you’re going to wear it.

    If you’re any bit interested, Rocksbox is offering The Lone Star Looking Glass readers their first month for free: right ova here.

    I got some fabulous goodies in my box this month. Still debating whether I can part with that House of Harlow cuff or not…. decisions decisions! 

    Do you tend to stick to one type of jewelry as opposed to the other? Gold vs Silver? Classic vs Statement?   Let me know, I love hearing from you guys!
