Meet my best friend: Katie Maxwell-Albright!

Alright, everyone, before you meet anyone else, you have to meet my best friend ever, Katie. In fact, let's just introduce her whole family while we're at it. Here she is with her siblings, Chrissa (in the double bathrobes...yeah, I imagine she'll be featured here enough) and Vi (in the pajamas). Don't get me wrong, her siblings – and her moms – are awesome, but they're not the most fashion-forward.

Katie's a lot like me: she's pretty, witty, and incredibly fashionable. So, as you can imagine, it's not every day that I get the opportunity to dress her! Tonight, though, she's going out to dinner with her girlfriends (both of whom are good friends of mine, actually - you'll meet them soon, I promise!), and wanted my help creating a perfect outfit.

I chose a purple halter top, white vest, and playful-yet-sophisticated patterned skirt. The top and vest do a great job of complementing the skirt, which brings out Katie's clear blue eyes wonderfully. We decided not to accessorize tonight; we thought the outfit was just busy enough on its own, and that any more pieces would detract from the overall look. Besides, Katie's features are gorgeous enough; she doesn't really need anything else!

All ready for a night on the town!
