What:
Blouse: vintage, thrifted
Jeans: thrifted, Acne
Belt: thrifted
Scarf: vintage, thrifted
Shoes: DSW
Where:
Office
Why:
I am exhausted. Didn’t blow dry my hair, barely any makeup, jeans are starting to be stretch out (and more comfy!). Blah. So tired. Also note— going back to Hong Kong tomorrow and may not be posting regularly.
When:
May 14, 2008
What:
Shades: Beacon’s Closet
Scarf: ??
Jacket: Express
Dress: E-bay
Belt: made it!
Shoes: DSW
Where:
Office, sunny lunch, rendezvous
Why:
Yellow is always reserved for sunny, beautiful days. Today, is one of those days.
When:
May 13, 2008
What:
Shades: F21
Scarf: Ebay
Tee: Uniqlo
Jacket: Fred Segal
Belt: thrifted
Jeans: Acne, thrifted
Flats: Target
Where:
Work.
Why:
My iron has goo on it and needs cleaned and that actually leaves very little stock in my closet that’s wearable. And its a little chilly. My legs need covering. I’m going to try a lot harder with my wardrobe when I return from traveling in two weeks.
When:
May 10, 2008
What:Jacket: Fred Segal
Top: Anthropologie
Jeans: Zara
Bag: thrifted, vintage
Where:
Garden party
Why:
Its sort of warm, sort of cool and spring enough to get away with a semi revealing top. But then there’s the commute jacket that can stay in place until I lose my shyness/drink too much.
When:
May 9, 2008
What:
Blouse: vintage, thrifted
Belt: thrifted
Jeans: thrifted (Acne)
Flats: Target
Where:
Work!!
Why:
I am so boring. Did not want to get dressed today. Love this shirt and is a fall back. Repeating old outfits. Rain = little effort. Always good to have some outfits that work without having to do much thinking. When I was younger, I had my closet organized into “M-T-W-T-F” and I would just pick out everything for the week. That would be a great idea to start back up again.
When:
May 8, 2008
What:
Tee: little store in HK
Scarf (as belt): vintage, thrifted Dior
Jeans: Joes
Flats: Target
Where:
Work, Birthday Party
Why:
Dunno. Last night my legs where cold so today I wanted to wear pants. I bet I’ll live to regret it because I get really uncomfortable in jeans. Especially tight skinny ones.
When:
May 7, 2008
What:
Curlers: Target
Tee: Old Navy
Belt: thrifted (50 cents!)
Skirt: vintage, thrifted
Shoes: DSW
Where:
Just work. Maybe park for lunch.
Why:
I asked this superhero question yesterday and I’ve been thinking about it since. I wanted to wear some bright, bold colors. This shirt didn’t need ironed and the skirt doesn’t really go/clash. Plus I am loving skirts during this weather. I’ve felt rather constricted by pants lately too.
When:
May 6, 2008
What:
Shades: HK
Dress: thrifted, vintage
Belt: thrifted, vintage
Sandals: DSW
Bracelet: F21
Where:
To work, Bryant Park for lunch
Why:
I’ve been waiting for a nice warm day to don this dress. Today’s the perfect occassion. I have been leaning more towards dresses and skirts lately— all of my jeans feel so uncomfortable. I’ve been spending more time at my desk as well, so skirts are easy and breezy and let me get all indian style if I want.
When:
May 5, 2008
What:
Shades: F21
Dress: vintage, thrifed Columbus Ave Flea Market
Broach: Ebay
Handbag: vintage, thrifted Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market
Scarf (as belt): J. Crew

Shoes: Naturalizers
Today is my ONE YEAR anniversary of submitting to wardrobe_remix!!!
Where:
Office, maybe Park for Lunch, Cinco de Mayo Salsa
Why:
Today is my ONE YEAR anniversary of doing daily photos and posting them to flickr. To celebrate, I’m wearing a new thrift find I picked up yesterday. The weather is gorgeous, I’m in love with life. Yay rah.
When:
May 4, 2008
What:
Shades: little shop in HK
Blouse: Maven Haven Vintage
Jeans: Acne (thrifted)
Shoes: Clarks
Bag: HK
Where:
thrifting uptown with Eden
Why:
Well, whenever I think of uptown, I sort of think of the Royal Tenenbaums, and this is something I would wear if I were an extra in that. I love skinny jeans. I love these short heels that are comfy but make me about 6’. I especially love shades that cover half of my face.
When:
May 2, 2008 evening
What:
Head Scarf: mom’s
Neck Scarf: ??
Jacket: Fred Segal (free)
Dress: Vintage, Retroactive (FW, IN)
Necklace (as belt): F21
Tights: We Love Colors
Boots: vintage, thrifted
Where:
Dinner at Inotecha with Sarah and party at Spitzer’s Corner apres.
Why:
I’m feeling like a lux hippie tonight. I am down with the black eye makeup, but also down with the scarf around the head. When I get dressed up I don’t like to look too hoochie. I guess covering most of my arms/legs solves that. I also think the head scarf makes me look more approachable.
When:
May 1, 2008
What:
Hat: milliner on 38th streeth
Tee: GAP
Jeans: Acne
Shoes: Target
Where:
work, drinks with peeps
Why:
Because I felt like it! I need a day off!! This was the best. The jeans are a little tight, but workable. I love the late 80s/early 90s feel they have. I feel like Chloe Sevigne almost! Like Nylon-esque. Rock it out J-schro. Word.
When:
April 30, 2008
What:
Curlers: for big hair, from Target
Cardi: HK
Belt: Goodwill
Dress: Tracy Reese
Fishnets: Target
Shoes: Naturalizers
Where:
Work, Birthday Drinks, Dinner
Why:
I think curlers are the coolest. I love wearing them around the house and I would probably not be phased by wearing them to the deli for coffee under a giant scarf. I’m old school. I rock it like that. And as for todays dress/colors, when the world gives you lemons, make some god damned lemonade! Pep up kiddo. I’m feeling a bit like Little Edie. Add some giant shades and a tap dance and I’m ready to go.
When:
April 29, 2008
What:
Scarf: gift from friend
Jacket: free from the office (from Fred Segal)
Cardigan: Old Navy
Tee: Uniqlo in Hong Kong
Skirt: ancient, American Eagle
Boots: Banana Republic
Where:
The Office
Why:
I don’t really love this outfit and felt sort of uncomfortable all day. For me, it goes to show the more effort I put into getting ready, the better I feel that day… even if I’m wearing something uncomfortable (or not that comfortable). So anyway, I’m trying to keep a record and we all have our off days. Today was mine. In the closet and in life. I’m going to try a little harder tomorrow.
When:
April 28, 2008
What:
Blouse: Beacon’s Closet
Sweater: Banana Republic
Jeans: Buffalo
Boots: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Where:
Ugh. Monday in the rain, to the office, Gossip Girl tonight (OMFG!!)
Why:
Ugh. Rain. I think everyone in New York thought we were going to skip over the moody weather of April and May and go straight into June. I did anyway. The rain calls for the boots and I’m feeling chilly. Jeans and a sweater. If I could get away with it (actually, I probably can), I’d wear a sweatshirt. None clean. Boo. I need a haircut
