Well, here it is! My first Darling dress. (A tad more appropriate for work than yesterday’s getup.) This dress–called the Carlie Dress–will be available in spring ’14. But since it was so incredibly hot in New York City today, it was perfect. Seriously: it was 80 degrees today!) And who doesn’t like a sneak peek at a designer’s upcoming collection? ;)
Dress and belt: c/o Darling (Coming in spring ’14) / Blazer: Dear Hannah (Hoboken boutique)… But swooning over this boyfriend blazer! (Ah, the leather.) / Bag: Kate Spade, similar here / Watch: Michael Kors / Bracelet: Kate Spade / Pumps: Adrienne Vittadini / Lipstick: Clinique / Earrings: J.Crew, less expensive version here / Sunnies: Kate Spade (available here via eBay)
First of all, how cute is the built-in Peter Pan collar?! And I love the bird print. (Perhaps perfect for my To Kill a Mockingbird unit in the spring. I look forward to it every year, even though I’ve now read the book 20+ times. Ask me anything. I once correctly guessed the page on which a certain scene occurs, haha.)
Anyway, scroll down to the bottom of this post to see some of my favorite current Darling pieces!

Your dress is so cute! I love peter pan collars. They’re so lady-like. I loved your look from yesterday too. Thought I commented on it, but I guess it didn’t post or something. So weird! Anyway, love those pants too! I have the lipstick top from last year.

Indeed more appropriate for work but not like your kids noticed haha Dress #3 is really calling out to me and yea, what’s with the crazy weather in NYC? I was just going to put away my a/c also -_-
Dress with Flower Embellishment
Haha–I can’t believe they didn’t notice! My students from last year read the blog religiously, but this year’s kids aren’t very interested. (And I give them so many shout outs! Haha.) Anyway, the weather is DEFINITELY phenomenal. Turn that a/c back on, girl! :)
Love that color on you!
