While some lucky few are in NYC amidst the Mercedes-Benz NYFW's beautiful madness, most of us are not so fortunate and stuck at home, fashion starved. But fear not, that's where Fashion's Night Out comes into play! While it may not feed our never-ending appetite for fashion week, it does spoon feed us a little appetizer that leaves us feeling slightly satisfied and far less bitter.

The lovely Kathleen was asked to participate in Sak's FNO event and, of course, us Berkeley bloggers had to support one of our own. With everyone's crazy class and work schedule, life made us unfortunately and inevitable more than fashionably late as we arrived six minutes before the event ended! Nevertheless, Sak's Blogger Lounge was buzzing with a ton of people; from bloggers to cuties to parents, it was definitely an event for all! So happy I finally got the chance to meet fellow Berkeley bloggers, Mallory and Whitney from WhitWatWear. Those two are sillier than a couple of the silliest geese! 

The main focus of the event was for local bloggers to style a mannequin based on fall trends that they were most excited about, and in the spirit of competition, the guests would be able to vote for their favorite look. The winner of the whole shinding was Anh from 9to5Chic, with her display that was effortlessly classy and gave off a very vintage 40's "I just stepped out of Casablanca" feel. Kathleen definitely put up a good fight, with her mixture of vampy deep jewel toned sweaters with neutral pieces, it was a very inspirafashion-type of outfit, though we expect nothing less of her.

Again, I was rushing from work and did not have more than 20 minutes to choose an outfit and get dressed thus I went straight for the basics; my trusty Dolce Vita booties and tights. Knowing SF's terrible weather at night, I knew it was necessary to be clothed from head to toe, and so the slouchy sweater and suede skirt just kind of found themselves upon my body. I never realized how much I thrifted until this outfit because everything, minus the DV booties, was thrifted. Only about $13 was spent on the whole outfit. Aw. Yeah. #Winning. Yes I did just hash tag in my blog post, and yes, I know this isn't Twitter.

P.S. Thank you lovelies for ALLL of your support! I cannot believe that my last outfit made it into Chictopia's Style Gallery! It truly, from the bottom of my heart, made my day...actually, it made my week! Thank you all so so soooo so much, you guys are the bestest!
