I recently attended a Payless press preview for spring/summer 2012, and although I have to keep mum on the details for now, in meanwhile I’ve picked several great styles currently available. Plus, there’s BOGO going on right now, which means an even better bargain than the usual prices!

Isabel Toledo for Payless Lazer Wedge Shootie, $39.99 (was $59.99)

Lela Rose for Payless Barton Colorblock Bootie, $64.99

dexflex by Dexter Claire Scrunch Flat, $29.99

Brash Josie Platform Shootie Wedge, $39.99

Working straight through the weekend is never fun, even during fashion week. I decided to add a dose of playfulness into an early Sunday start via a signature rainbow stripe dress that I had yet to wear, even though it’s been in my closet for a year. I guess I was waiting for the the perfect occasion, and this was it! Continuing with the theme of relatively comfy shoes, I went with one my most often worn go-tos for booties, and instead of balancing the look with too much black, I threw on a cream faux leathe jacket — that I don’t think I had worn since fashion week in September!
I spotted this isolated corner section of a deconstructed space that was used for the Catherine Malandrino presentation, and thought it was such a cool location, with great light, for an outfit photo.
