Favorite item of clothing in my closet: That’s a toughie! I’m attached to so many different pieces and my favorite changes daily. Right now I’m really loving my Baroque lace tops from Express (in black and white) – they go with just about anything, and they look really cute under a blazer!   The nickname my friends have for me is: Court.
