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!!
What I Wore: New and Improved

What:
Blazer: gift (sooo old)
Cami: Marshall’s
Skirt: gift
Tights: We Love colors
Boots: gift (thank you!!!!)
Where:
Office
Why:
Lesson learned: Its not what you don’t have, its what you DO have. I combined a few pieces that normally may not work— rockin high boots (new!!) with ladylike winter white pleated skirt + black suede blazer— why not?! I am loving this look and feel like I’m wearing a whole new outfit, just by using a different calculation of outfit makin.
What I Wore: All A Bloom

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.
What I Wore: Super Simple

When:
January 29, 2009
What:
Dress: Zara
Tights: Target
Boots: Vintage
Where:
Work
Why:
Just felt like keeping it super simple today. Initially I went with black tights but decided to rock out the purple instead. I’ve missed them! Its going to be a busy day in the office and I just wanted a no-fuss look.
What I Wore
When:
Sept 18, 2008
What:
Shades: HK
Scarf: gift from Rachel
Blouse: re-fashioned from a former owner and then thrifted by me
Shorts: River Island (free from work)
Belt: Lucky (free from work)
Tights: Macys
Shoes: Ralph Lauren (ebay)
Where:
Work, lunch with my friends at the park, meetings, errands
Why:
I was feeling like a shorts-tights combo this morning, and originally had on a more neutral top. But, lately I’ve been feeling blah about my clothes and how I feel (direct correlation for me) and so I decided to pump it up with the pink. Its a tad chilly in the mornings, so the scarf was a nice way to stay toasty and sort of wrap up the package. Thursday is also pay day and I’m doing some major shopping/thrifting over the weekend. Woo!
