You guys, I’m going to go ahead and address the elephant in the blog: I know I’m wearing a blazer, jeans, boots and it’s a million degrees in North Carolina.
I’m not going to lie – I’m kind of ready for fall and I’m kind of ready for cooler weather clothes. So I wore this last week. Sue me. I justify the blazer when I’m in the air conditioning. Right? Right.
I was feeling fancy and I remembered this outfit I saw Bonnie from MiniMeStyle rock a while ago (as in like 5 months ago), and so I threw this diddy together and “Molly-ized” it.
Molly-ized. I like that term. I need to use that more.
Anywho. I love the contrast of denim and sequins and a blazer. It’s kind of my fave.
Okay, now… CALLING ALL RALEIGH / DURHAM / CHAPEL HILL / CARRBORO/ HILLSBOROUGH / TRIANGLE, NORTH CAROLINA FASHION, BEAUTY, AND LIFESTYLE BLOGGERS!!!
I have a REALLY exciting announcement coming soon. It’s still super secret, BUT, if you’re a fashion, beauty, or lifestyle blogger living in this area of North Carolina and you’re interested in, you know, meeting and having fun with other fashion, beauty, or lifestyle bloggers, email me (molly [at] themollybuckley [dot] com) OR you can just leave a comment below letting me know you live in the area. Let me know!
And don’t worry, the announcement is coming soon! Just got a few more loose ends to tie up!
Also, mark your calendars for August 16th, 2012 from 7-9pm. It’s a Thursday. Trust me. Just trust me.
I’m throwing this last picture in because I have NO idea how my hair did that in this picture. For serial. WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY HAIR?

thank you so much, megan!
I love this outfit Molly – the jeans and sequins with a blazer combo is one of my favorites too, and teal sequins are so gorgeous – I LOVE it! And white blazers are always appropriate in the summer – somehow it makes them seem less hot even if they’re really not

Laura @ Twelve by Six recently posted..Easy Like Sunday Morning
