This past Sunday, I attended an event hosted by the FABB (Fashion and Beauty Bloggers) Girls Clubat the local ALDO accessories store. Truthfully, I was not that amped to go, because I can admit that I am not a big ALDO fan, accessories or shoes. One, I hate Aldo shoes just because I think they are overpriced to not have any leather shoes; Two, I like to purchase my jewelry from independent designers, vendors at flea markets, and from thrifting because I like to be original. Hence the reason I was not that excited. But I want to support local bloggers in DC so I went prepared to only show my support and leave. But I ended up staying over an hour and a half. Who knew that ALDO accessorieshad so many cute items to purchase?! I was completely overwhelmed by the choices (I like shopping experiences like that), and I was pleasantly surprised at the offerings. I was able to talk to other stylish women, see some of the trends in accessories (you know I am always a few years behind), and get some great makeup tips from the Mary Kay representative that was there. Here, a few pics from the event, and a good lesson in stepping outside your own imposed box…

I know you can only see the top part of my outfit, but this is what I wore, Asos Curve Onesie with Mesh Details. You know I love a good one-piece jumpsuit |
