the double standard.

dress: cache, earrings: express, shoes: michael shannon

wednesday night was the launch party for a new magazine i'm writing for called the double standard - it's a he/she magazine offering female and male perspectives on fashion, food, relationships, and more! i wore one of my favorite one shoulder dresses and was excited to snap a few picts in an evening outfit because i almost always share day outfits (the perks of long, summer days and more sunlight!).

i scanned the cover and my article for you guys:

you can also hop on over to the double standard website to check out all of the other articles from the first issue!

hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Labels: fashion, magazine, nashville, outfit, the double standard
