21 october 2008: new tights!
why: these peacock colored tights are going to a ton of fun
why: these peacock colored tights are going to a ton of fun
what: work, class, voting, and dinner why: a totally multipurpose outfit for a day filled tons of activities :)
why: green rocks.
why: i love that this coat is double breasted, extra warmth = extra fun
what: it's my birthday, but i'm swamped with work and classes. i also ended up spending four hours on line to vote- but this outfit is comfortable and working for me why: the whole outfit is built around my new peacock green tights, and i'm excited i found a way to work in a turtleneck i've basically never worn, but have been holding onto since high school!
why: i like how this hat doesn't match
where: work and errands why: the air was really crisp today so i went with lots of random layers to keep myself warm
what: work why: this dress is very lightweight but it works perfectly in cooler weather with a turtleneck underneath
what: work why: black + gold + aqua
funny angles make my world go round
why: that's right- the skirt is awesomely textured INSIDE AND OUT
what: work on a day when everyone took a half day and had suitcases lined up next to their desks so they can make a mad dash to penn station to go back to new jersey, or wherever they come from, for the holiday why: i don't leave the city for the holidays, so it was any other day for me--but i'm feeling totally festive, peacock green legs, a forest green luscious skirt, and vibrant orange nails were exactly what was needed. i bought this skirt for $2.50 at a sample sale 2 years ago, but it was a size too big- i finally got around to altering it this week. PS- i was sipping on apple cider when i took this photo- does it get more festive than this? i think not.
why: I love this skirt's silhouette
I totally scored with this vintage floral dress, it has a fabulously oversized hood and fits like a dream. To make it winter appropriate, I added a long-sleeve tee, two pairs of tights, and ankle boots (as always). Of course, I also added my basic outerwear: a cardigan, my new long coat, and a hat. jewelry: just my favorite vintage floral studs
none of these florals compete or overpower each other- i love when things almost clash, but don't!
