Where: work Why: I’m feeling so spooky lately. I’ve been reading the Twilight saga (on New Moon now) and dreaming about vampires. So the all black seems to work nicely for my mood today. Also pumped to wear my new Payless shoes!!
Where: Office Why: First off, the more I wear heels, the harder it is for me to go back to flats. I feel like a sky scraper today! Also excited to wear a shirt fresh from the cleaners, paired with something *new* from my closet. This is a skirt I wore a lot last year as a knee length number, but as you can see, I’ve hemmed it up quite a bit. I love short skirts and tights together! Instead of being all black and sort of boring, the tights I’m wearing are a dark charcoal and ribbed. Actually, they’re leggings, which are my new faves. The shoes are my new classic and at the rate I’ve been wearing them, they’ll be perfectly broken in (…soon I hope). I’m wearing my mom’s charm bracelet from when she was my age. My dad’s college is on there, her high school banner, an artist palette, an ancient Disney pin, a globe… I’ve added a thimble and a DG charm. Its such a great piece.
Where: Work Why: After a year I finally had this dress taken to the cleaners so it was about time I wore it again. Didn’t want to do plain black underneath so I took a risk and went for patterned tights. I know a lot of you may not think this works, but I like the dimension it adds to the outfit. I’m a fan of mixing patterns (more on that later).
Where: Work Why: Went on a big thrifting adventure (well, just a trip to the new Beacon’s Closet) and bought this blouse and skirt). Love them! Wacky color combos rock my world right now (and realized this is my 6th bright red/orange top in the last year)…
Where: Work Why: I started watching the first season of Mad Men last night on DVD. I think the outfit sort of speaks for itself.
Where: Work Why: Well, when you finally take your laundry to be done, its really fun to feel like you have a full closet again. I’ve been going to a new place now, and they do a really good job. Before I was a little nervous to take this dress because of the high heat some laundry places use with their dryers. Anyways, long story stort, I haven’t worn this dress in two months and I’m excited to pull it out again today.
Where: Office Why: I just had an urge to wear this skirt— its one of my favorites. Maybe because I was working on designing some pieces yesterday with my co-worker Courtney, I subconsciously wanted to wear it. I guess she did too.
Where: Work Why: OMG! I tried on so many things this morning and finally left in what you see above. I’m not thrilled, but also not too disappointed. When I see my reflection walking down the street I think I look chic! And its all about what YOU think about yourself. So I feel pretty and pretty good. I’m also pumped these photos came out so bright with only teeny level adjustments. I don’t know what I did differently, but must repeat until we can get back outside again. I’m having a lovely day. I hope you are too. And did you enter the Lucky Style Spotter contest yet? Its so easy and I’ve only had two people e-mail me with links. C’mon guys!
