When you do what I do for a career, a work trip means lots of (overly) planning outfits all the way down to the handbag, it means wearing the season no matter what the weather, it means getting your nails done for photo shoots, and figuring out how to fit it all in a bag weighing under 50lbs. I love fashion, I really do. Getting dressed up and feeling fancy does actually bring me energy, but ya know what I’m the most excited about- doing it with friends… old and new… building and strengthen relationships far beyond “cute dress.” I hope that’s what this little corner of the internet does for you - I hope I help bring a smile on a cloud day in some way. I hope you feel inspired to get up to feel and look your best, while knowing what matters is far beyond what’s on the outside! When I first met Emily McCarthy she exuded joy. You could just see that she is the perfect combo of classy AND fun (aka colorful). I love her collection season after season for that reason because I literally feel the joy as I slip into her incredible made and designed silhouettes. @emilymccarthy believes when you look good you feel good and when you feel good you do good. I do to! I’m in size small in the dress- it runs generous! LTKParties LTKStyleTip LTKOver40
