Old is New

January 7th, 2011

vest: Urban Outfitters, tee: Gap, skirt: American Apparel, tights: Target, shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

Worn for: Friday night date :) 

Ok, so really don’t have a good excuse for not going out and taking pictures today. I was just lazy. Lazy and warm and cozy inside, and it was really cold outside. So, HEY! Meet my bookshelf! 

This vest is kinda old. And I had actually gotten rid of it at one point- or so I thought. When I was home for christmas I found a few boxes of old clothes of mine in storage. I went through and actually pulled some things back out to fit back into my wardrobe. It was like shopping! Kind of…..

But I like the vest. It adds a little bling to an otherwise pretty basic outfit. And the skirt - well I’ve owned this skirt in navy for awhile now and it is one of my favorite and most easy to wear skirts. So I bought it in green too. Is that a faux pas? I don’t think so. Its practical :)

Brave New Girl

January 5th, 2011

sweater, shirt, and pants: Urban Outfitters, headband: Hollydoll (made by me!), gloves: gift, flats: Chanel

Worn For: sewing/cleaning, etc.

I’ve been taking my own photos with my tripod for awhile now, but I usually don’t venture far from our house unless I have Boo with me. But today I took my camera and my tripod and went to the park by myself. And it actually wasn’t that bad. I found a pretty secluded spot where I only had a couple people walk by and stare. I should do it more often. 

I’m wearing almost all Urban Outfitters. Not only that, but I got all the items on the same day. Weird. But seriously, remember those overalls I got for $5? I also got this plaid shirt for $5, and the pants for $14. Woo me :)

Simple Outfit For a Simple Sunday

January 2nd, 2011

dress: Modcloth, headband: Hollydoll by Holly Keenan

Worn For: Boo and I had a nice relaxing Sunday consisting of a walk to the park, movies on the couch, and a little bit of Wii playing. 

I got this dress for christmas from my momma and I’m pretty sure I now own the perfect maxi dress. It comes all the way to my feet (I really hate when a maxi dress only reaches my ankles - I’m not really that tall). It is also suuuuper soft and comfortable. Like wearing pajamas. Which is perfect for a day spent mostly lounging :)

Inspired

January 1st, 2011

 overalls, tights, sunglasses, and turquoise necklace: Urban Outfitters, owl necklace: gift from me momma, shirt: French Connection, booties: Keds via Buffalo Exchange

Worn For: Boo and I had a nice day walking along the river and grabbing some lunch at Za. It was a beautiful day!

So, I look at a lot of style blogs. And I see a lot of inspirational outfits daily. But every once in awhile, one really sticks - and I just can’t get it out of my head. Recently that outfit was worn by Claire of Faboo. I am so in love with this entire dress, that when I saw these overalls in Urban Outfitters bargain basement for $5 ($5!!!), I knew I had to try it. Now granted, Claire looks incredibly cool and chic and I just look like an 8 year old, but I’ll just pretend thats the look I was going for. 

Happy New Year!!

December 31st, 2010

dress: Anthropologie, tights: Urban Outfitters, shoes: Steve Madden, ring: gift

Worn For: The Boo and didn’t really have big plans for this NYE, so I opted to not go with the typical sparkle for this night. But we did go out to a nice dinner ( and if by chance you are in the Cambridge/ Somerville area I highly suggest checking out Posto), and I though this dress was perfect for this occasion. 

And my goodness these pictures are more like it! I mentioned before, but I definitely hope to take better pictures in better locations like these ones this new year. My other new years resolutions? Getting my butt in gear with my Etsy shop. I have beginnings of a lot of projects that I need to get together and up for sale. Oh, and a third - get a job. That would be nice. 

Happy New Year everyone!
