This Week in Fashion & The Outnet 4th of July Sale

I'M LEAVING FOR LONDON TONIGHT!!! AHHH!! No outfit for today since I have no idea what I'm wearing yet...probably just jeans, a tank top and a hoodie so I'm comfy on the plane.  I'm leaving my house around 11 so I can get to the airport and then wait around for my flight at 6:30...

So yea...this week was pretty much me being crazy excited about my London/NYC trip. I also took a half day on Wednesday to go to an event in NYC, so I posted that outfit too. But of course I had tons to do at work so everyone can survive without me ;) (just kidding, I'm sure they will do perfectly fine without me, but hopefully not too well that they decide they no longer need me)
Monday: Dress: Splendid (TJ Maxx) $15?, Sweater: Urban Outfitters: $0, Wedges: Crown Vintage (DSW) $45
Tuesday: Dress: Calvin Klein (Marshalls) $30, Sweater: Hollister gift, Booties: No.704b (DSW) $20, Owl Watch Necklace: Etsy $8
Wednesday: Dress: McQ by Alexander McQueen gift, Sweater: Urban Behavior, Flats: Chaps $8.50
Thursday: Jeans: Hollister $15, Top: Rumors (TJ Maxx) $12, Sweater: ? $? [really old] Flip Flops

Here's my outfit from the NYC event held on Wednesday, which was an afternoon tea & cocktails with one of my favorite stores, Net-a-Porter!  I had so much fun and the team was amazing and so funny! I also need to thank (again) Meaghan from PurseBlog for helping me brave a cab on the way back to the train station. I had walked from Grand Central to the event and it took an hour! But I was too scared to get my own cab so she and her husband Vlad shared one with me! They're amazing!
I converted my work look for the event by switching out some pieces [added Jones New York Jacket and Simply Vera Wang Sandals]

Today's post is super long to make up for yesterday's boring-ness, ha ha. Anyway, this weekend The Outnet has a special 4th of July section AND you can get 20% off EVERYTHING in the store by using the code SUMMER20 which is valid from today until July 4th at 11:59PM. Here are some of my favorite pieces from their Fourth of July Selection [click the images to go to the product pages]:

    You look good in all of these outfits and I hope you have a good plane ride - I hate plane rides, but I have to fly whenever I go overseas. And I really like those white skinny jeans.
