Lady in red

Normally, I don't wear red. And it began long before I was invited to be a member of my sorority.

However, this month we wore red as part of an American Heart Association campaign to fight heart disease among women. So I found a red dress from the Avenue. Accessorized it with Majorica pearls (earrings, necklaces, rings), my steel AKA watch, camel Manolo Blahnik Carolyne pumps and whiskey Cobe's Birkin-style bag (not shown).

Founders' Day weekend style

On Jan. 15, my beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. marked her 104th anniversary. Busy weekend with nice outfits.

(Bottom) For a service in memory of a chapter member/former national officer, I wore Salvatore Ferragamo dress, Manolo Blahnik Carolyne slingbacks and (not shown) a Reina/Suarez black Kelly bag.

(Top) Went to dinner last night with three sorority sisters. Top from Lafayette 148, skirt from the Avenue ($15, a find online), shoes by Ralph Lauren Collection. Bag from J. Crew.

Shoespiration

Elle Macpherson (right) shows you can wear flat sandals for evening. Yes, I'm thinking about this for our debutante ball on March 10. I've got a cooler celadon green gown and silver flat sandals from J. Crew Collection.

Sisterhood

On the left is my lovely sorority sister. She's wearing a Tadashi Shoji "loden" (looks like pine to me) dress. I found it for her at Loehmann's for something like 90% off retail (and got one for me).

New Year's Eve!

What I wore for NYE. Dress: David Meister Woman, on deep clearance at Bloomingdale's. Shoes (not shown): Sergio Rossi silver sandals, 80% off at DSW. Bag (not shown): Ann Taylor silver leather standby.

Camille Grammer, y'all!

This year on RHOBH, Camille's getting a better edit.
Last year, she was unpleasant but could dress. In fact, I'm thinking about doing this type of look for AKA conference party season. I do need a black evening bag with silver metal trim to keep things consistent. But I do have a black dress, hot pink wrap and hot pink shoes (Ralph Lauren Collection, not Loubous).

Marlo Hampton, werk!

I know she's a semi-RHOA cast member. But the style is fierce. Note the Louboutin pumps and the stylish ge(sic) gents with the Hermes belts escorting her down the stairs for a viewing party.
