Splurge vs. Steal: Blaze the Trail

We are off to Asheville, NC this weekend to celebrate Heath & Molly, the future Mr. & Mrs. Milligan. From the minute Molly came on the scene, we all knew she was a keeper for our Keath. Cheers to you both, and many more weekends of freeloading off the Milligans on Sea Island. I know that's right!

Being in the mountains, Asheville is always about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than Athens which means August brings perfect evening temperatures for dancing under the stars. One could grab the standard pashmina to stay warm, but why not look a little edgier, and top that dress off with a blazer?
(The "Steal" side has some real gems this week. That dress is $98 and those adorable tassel earrings are only $50. Although, I am really thinking my closet could use an Equipment blazer for fall... )

Splurge vs. Steal: All White Now

I am declaring this summer, the summer of the white blazer.

I actually pulled a white blazer from a bag awaiting it's consignment destiny when I saw all these impossibly chic women looking fresh and hip in my castoff from my former working girl days. There isn't even the tiniest hint of late 90's cubicle in any of these blazers.

Every now and again I find the Steal side more lust-worthy than the Splurge items. This is one of those times. That Yosemite tee and neon bag are ordered and en route to my house...
