Belk's Fashion Night Out-Jones New York

Ok was I bummed I couldn't stay for New York's FNO...... You betcha... But I can't complain because I just spent 3 AMAZING days in NYC (I'll be showing more about that next week) being surrounded by the most creative minds I've ever come across. But... I did manage to find some "fashion" in Raleigh.... Although it is my mission to bring a lot more to this style challenged area. Belk had Jeffrey Thorpe, vice president of Jones New York, explaining the fall collection during a small runway presentation. I've never really looked into the brand and it's a little too "commercial" for my taste but I did find a couple of items that are fantastic!!! And yes.....those shoes are my new 3.1 Phillip Lim oxfords that I've been drooling over since I pre-ordered them in July, heaven at last. And my husband definitely asked me if I mugged a clown for my pants (in my mind if he hates something then I'm on the right track).... And yes that is a monkey on my t-shirt, but I got it from the ifbcon and its sooo soft, therefore it's a new favorite so get used to the giant monkey!
