Meh. But I do like bow ties.

Worn on January 17th, 2011

sweater: Anthropologie, tee and pants: Gap, necklace: HollyDoll, hat: Express Men’s (Boo’s), shoes: Keds via Buffalo Exchange

Worn For: Lounging, Sewing, Cleaning. 

I have not been happy with the last few outfit posts. Especially these ones. Eh. Maybe its the unwashed hair (shhhhhh), or that I’m wearing my glasses (I never wear them in photos), or that I forgot to take my mittens off when I decided there was no way I was stepping outside for pictures (it was cold and I was a baby), or maybe its that I took indoor pictures (which I hate). You know, it could be a number of these things. 

But enough complaining! Kendi has announced that the next 30 for 30 challenge will begin Feb 1st. I thought about it, and at first I wasn’t going to do it. It feels like I just finished the last one and am finally getting re-aquatinted with my closet. I really started to miss all my clothes about halfway through the challenge. Buuuuuut, I think I AM going to do it. I learned a lot from the last one, which will help me better pick my items this time. I’m excited! 

The Mystery Of My Missing Right Hand

Worn on January 16th, 2011

sweater: Express (mens), skirt: American Apparel, Earmuffs: Forever21, purse: Michael Kors, boots: Vince Camuto, necklace: gift from my momma

Worn For: Galavanting around the city for the day. 

My BFF Ashleebear got me these earmuffs for christmas. Aren’t they super duper adorable? It kind of began most of the outfit - I just started adding purple where I could. I had a big lavender bib necklace on too, but it seemed a little much. 

P.S- has anyone seen my right hand? I seem to have lost it? Awkward. 

Crafting and Watercolors

January 14th, 2011

dress and tights: Anthropologie, wedges: Christian Louboutin, Scarf: gift from my momma, watch: Fossil

Worn For: a day of more sewing and date night. 

It was one of those days where I was cold sitting inside, so I was being a baby and refused to go outside for photos. So meet Milly (sewing machine), and Rex (serger). Like I said, I’ve been working on some new stuff for my etsy shop, so hopefully by the end of the weekend I can slowly start putting some of it up. So stay tuned. 

For date night this week, Boo and I went to Finale in Harvard Square. They are all about their desserts, and I got the Molten Chocolate Cake and a White Hot Chocolate (with a hint of orange). It was delicious. The End. 

Happy Weekend!!

My Orchestra Skirt

January 11th, 2011

sweater: Gap, scarf: H&M, skirt: uuuuh… ? , flats: Target, ring: Gift from my Momma

Worn For: I’ve finally got my butt in gear and started working on some new projects. So today was spent sewing and pattern making. Soon, I’ll have new stuff up in my etsy shop, as well as a some Project ReStyle items. Buuuut, I figured I should get around to doing another outfit post, so I took a break, grabbed my tripod, and headed to the park again. 

Funny story about this skirt. Well, not really. But it is to me. I mentioned a few posts ago about how I went through some old clothes that were in storage while I was home. Thats where this skirt came from. It was my orchestra concert skirt from high school (yeeeeah, I said orchestra. I played the viola. I was sooo cool). In high school, I hated wearing this thing. I despised it. I though it was the ugliest thing in my closet. But when I pulled it out of that box a few weeks ago I was so happy! Now, I love it - I want to wear it with everything. Funny. 

Adventures In Layering

January 8th, 2010

printed shirt: Anthropologie, chambray shirt and hat: Forever21, tee: Gap, jeans: BCBGeneration, mittens: gift, necklace: custom made, boots: Vince Camuto via Macys

Worn For: My bff Ashlee was in town! Boo and I met up with her and her boyfriend and a couple of his friends for some bbq. I haven’t seen her in forever so it was a really nice night. 

But to the outfit. I like to layer. who doesn’t, really? Especially in this winter weather. But I’m not sure about my combo here - I took a chance. I still don’t know how I feel about it… I’m on the fence. Is it an odd combo? An odd order? I don’t know. But I kinda like it. Besides, it is all about trial and error. 

See this picture here ^ ? This is when Boo was complaining about something that had to do with my posing/taking my picture. And this is me telling him, with a shake of my mittened finger, that his job is to be quiet and just do what I tell him to. 

jk. 

not really.
