WhatIWore:

Today my hometown newspaper, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette ran a 3/4 page article on me on the front page of the Living section with their ‘Fashion Forward’ feature. So neat to see my full name, big and in print!! See the larger image here.

My favorite part?

My dad tells a story about how I, as a really little kid, would refuse to eat dinner until I’d put on a dress. My mom was a seamstress, so she would make my clothes – prairie dresses or little plaid jumpers with bonnets. School picture day was always a big deal, and I would think up these crazy outfits. In hindsight, though, it’s very cute. I look at old school pictures and think, ‘Not bad, little 10-year-old.’

Special thanks to Emma Downs, the reporter on this story and Kathryn at Lucky.

WhatIWore: Sneak Peak

Just running errands today at Target and the mall and saw a THAKOON blouse on the 50% off rack!! I liked this print when it was full price, but because I am a so frugal these days $25.99 was really too much. Wow. That sounds so cheap. I guess because it is. But whatever! Fifty percent off and she’s MINE! Score!!

When:

February 19, 2009

What:

J.Crew Cashmere Sweater: thrifted
Neck scarf: vintage, thrifted
Bracelets: Target, Beacon’s Closet
Jeans: Arden B, free from work
Boots: Gift

Where:

Work, Dentist (Ahhhh!) and Tea

Why:

Just trying to keep my spirits high with bright colors!! Its sort of that “new outfit” feel because most of these pieces are relatively new to my closet.  I just love that feeling. I need to do my taxes pronto so I can go on a big shopping spree with my return check. Stimulate the economy and stimulate my closet. ;)

When:

February 12, 2009

What:

Dress: designed and constructed by yours truly
Belt (worn backwards): mall store
Tights: Target
Boots: Gift

Where:

Work

Why:

Well, this is the third outfit I not only tried on, but took pictures of.  This is why its good to have some really simple pieces in your closet when you just can’t figure out what to wear. The weather in NYC is warmish and that makes heavy wools feel all wrong. But its still no Miami either. Balancing a short sleeve jersey dress with heavy tights and boots works just right for me today. Plus its like wearing an all over body sweatshirt. How cozy!!

When:

February 5, 2009

What:

Mysterious Black Scarf
Black T Neck: free from work
Skirt: Marshall’s
Tights: We Love Colors
Booties: Payless

Where:

Work

Why:

In an attempt to both stretch my wardrobe and conjure up warmer temperatures, I’m wearing a spring skirt with the winter fixins. Tights, t-neck and a scarf, all in black, help ground the look and add a little warmth. Seriously though, 12F degrees really is too cold for something like this. I wanted to feel pretty, but I’ve learned my lesson. Next time we dip this low its back to the thigh high socks and jeans routine.
