One of the surest signs that it’s last call for summer in the city, is the start of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships.
Leo and I rang in September in style with a date night in Donald Trump’s box at Arthur Ashe Stadium for 3rd round matches Saturday night.
And because nothing gets the ball rolling on date night better than asking Leo to photograph my outfit and whispering sweet nothings in his ear like, “I have camel toe in every single one of these shots, take them again!” and “I should have married a photographer!” I present to you, what I wore:
{Old Navy vest (now on sale!), J.Crew shirt, Gap shorts, H&M flats, BaubleBar Champagne Crystal Bib necklace, Balenciaga Day bag (last seen here), Cynthia Rowley sunnies (last seen here), bracelets: Tiffany, Isabel Harvey, vintage, Essie Midnight Cami nails, Nars Oasis lip gloss.}
Clearly, he’s seduced by my anger and uses it as motivation because he came through with some lovely pictures. Aren’t we a great match?
The tennis was a bit of a snooze but I did meet an old friend for a drink thanks to foursquare, which notified me that she was on the grounds too. Now every time someone (Marinka) misses the point and makes fun of me for “checking-in,” I’ll tell this story.
Hope you’re having a glamorous Labor Day weekend.
The linky is being hosted by Momtrends today. “Monday Mingle” is a weekly fashion/style link-up rotated between Momtrends, BonBon Rose Girls, and Glamamom. If you’re interested in sponsorship options, contact me (jill@glamamom.com) for details.

LOL, I was cracking up at Leo having to do re-takes. I know the feeling. It takes a patient and v ery loving man to be a photographer-husband.
I love your outfit, from head to toe. The colors are so pretty and neutral autumn-appropriate, but that pop of red on your feet makes it perfect!
I have a four-square account but not really sure how to do check-ins on my old, decrepit Blackberry. Im eager to dive into using it, but Im thinking it may be easier once I replace my phone.
You looked great!!! Very cool that you got to sit in Trump’s box!!

What a cute outfit!! I adore that vest and need to pick it up STAT. I would’ve been bored to tears too–tennis is just not my thing.

HAHA!!! This is so funny! You are hilarious, Jill. That Marinka comment has me cracking up over here!
Your outfit is dead on for the Fall. And I love those ballet flats! That one thing I am excited about with fall approaching — vests, blazers, and ballet flats. LOL.

What? You have those kinds of conversations too? I also like to add “Just because you have a fancy camera, it doesn’t make you a photographer” before storming off. Because that’s how I show love…by storming off. Poor Harv.
Those red flats are major fab.

Love the vest/shoe color combo. You look fab!
And I was cracking up at the camel toe line. I can only imagine what the pictures would look like if my hubby was taking them– he would start taking pics of things going on behind me just to drive me mad!

I love that you wear clothes we can afford and relate to, instead of that stuff from magazines that costs as much as a mortgage payment. You look great!

You are hilarious! I can relate 100%. Asking my husband to take photos for a blog post always ends up with both of us being irritated. The photos Leo took turned out great.
