What I Wore
When:
Sept 15, 2008
What:
Shirt: vintage from EtsyBelt: thriftedShorts: free from workShoes: DSW
Where:
The office
Why:
If there’s a time of year (or two times) that I find it really hard to pick out outfits- now and the time leading into spring. The calendar and Mother Nature aren’t yet in tune and it doesn’t help that retailers have been rolling out fall goods since July. So, I stand in front of my closet thinking “what to wear?” and this is something I came up with. I got the shirt in the mail from Etsy seller RetroRedux and knew it was perfect for this week (highs are in the 80s). At first I put it with high waisted jeans, but soon realized it was going to be way too stuffy for that (who likes to sweat in jeans??! could that be one of the worst feelings ever?). Anyways, I’ve worn these shorts to death this summer, especially to work (I feel like the dark wash helps them lean on the appropriate side (and I say that loosely, because wearing shorts into a meeting really isn’t appropriate at all)). Eventually I traded the heels in for ballet flats because I’d rather walk fast than look good (most of the time). So that’s that. Transition outfit #1. Here’s to hoping I can pull off similar cool looks the rest of the week.
