Welcome back to Dress Code, a seriously stylish column here on The Social that goes beyond the party and into the closets of some truly fabulous hosts. Because modern entertaining is more than a single occasion, it’s a way of life.
Next up is model, creative and all around ray of sunshine, Venita Aspen. Venita is a new friend from the road — she co-hosted our Charleston dinner for The "After" Party Tour and her infectious personality and oh-so-chic look had heads turning (mine included) all night long.
One evening of Venita fabulousness just wasn't enough, so I caught up with her recently to talk fashion and take a peak inside her enviable closet. Get ready to swoon...
Q: If your favorite party outfit could talk, what would it say?
Dayumm girl.
Q: What piece from your wardrobe is the most sentimental to you and why?
My Manolo Blahnik mules because it was the first name brand shoe that I bought myself.

Lashes can instantly add GLAM to any look and I wear them whether the dress code is casual or black-tie!

Makeup, margarita, hair, and a great high heel.
Q: Where do you get your outfit inspiration?
I get dressed based on my mood.
'I get dressed based on my mood."
