TODAY IN THE CLOSET:

Avoiding an ICM ( Immobilized Closet Moment):  This past Thursday I had the pleasure of attending the Crystal and Lucy Awards, an event  hosted every year by Women and Film, an organization I am very proud to be a part of.  I had an unreasonably short amount of time to make the quick change from office to cocktail and I really could not have done it if not for my fashion boarding. I had three good possibilities on my board that I have recently worn to events and that saved a lot of time.  Since I find that different colors are right on different days I always need to give myself a choice.  Usually black is my fail safe but on Thursday it made me looked washed out, same with my cream color choice so I ended up with a color block dress black bottom, turquoise top. Here are some of the looks from the evening, the theme seemed to be simple understated elegance.
