Where: Work, Lunch Date Why: I’ve been sharing very little about my personal life lately, but basically it boils down to the fact that I’ve been really busy with more important things than my blog and fashion. But I feel the need to step things up again and that’s what I’ll be doing. Today was a step in the right direction. Dress- check. Heals- Check. Tights- Check. Feeling totally chic and glam- check.
Where: Work Why: I saw a girl walking down the street with boots and high socks, so that’s what I wanted to start with today. All of my dark tights are in the wash, and I’ve been thinking about this color of mustardy yellow a lot. My little temp widget told me it was a chilly one this morning, so I pulled out this medium gray sweater dress. Overall, a snuggly, bright outfit for a bright, snuggly October day.
Where: Just work Why: I’ve been really looking foward to wearing this skirt that I picked up at Concordia Thrift in Fort Wayne, Indiana last Christmas. It was $2.50!! They have the best stuff and everything is really really cheap. Too many “thrift†stores are becoming way too expensive. If its not really highly collected vintage and advertised as a vintage store, I’m not down to pay high prices. This whole outfit was really cheap, minus the coat which is years old anyway. Another example of how you can work a current trend and still go easy on your pocketbook.
Where: Office Why: My new moto: When in doubt, wear tights and booties. And ya know what? It worked!!
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).
