Seasons Change

worn on September 7th, 2011

Its been raining kitties and puppies lately (thats my version of cats and dogs). But I still had to go out on wednesday for another interview, turning in applications, and picking up groceries. Originally I had planned to wear the dress alone, but the rain has caused it to be quite chilly. So I reluctantly threw the sweater on over the dress. I know everyone is looking forward to fall, but I don’t want summer to be over!

p.s - I did a little tweaking to the look of the blog. Does everything look alright?

wrap dress: Diane von Furstenberg

sweater: Urban Outfitters

These Photos Almost Never Happened

worn on July 28th, 2011

Ok, so these aren’t the best photos. But it was getting later and later in the evening, and Boo still wasn’t home. I thought I was going to go another day without outfit photos. Oh no! But I sucked it up, grabbed my tripod, and ran out to the porch to catch the last few minutes of daylight. 

I love to throw this top on in the summer. Its so light, and airy, and flutter-y. That DVF knows whats up. 

top: Diane von Furstenberg

shorts: Anthropologie

DVF Makes Me Happy

January 22nd, 2011

sweater and yellow tights: Urban Outfitters, black tights: ?, skirt: Diane von Furstenberg, scarf: Target, shoes: Steve Madden

Worn For: Boo and I didn’t do friday date night this week, so we decided to go into the city saturday for a movie (No Strings Attached - hilarious) and dinner. 

There is a good story behind this skirt. Well, at least, it makes me happy. In the summer of 2008 I did a design internship at the Diane von Fursteberg studio in NYC. On my very first day there was a DVF sample sale going on. MY boss told me and the other intern to go ahead and take a long lunch and go shop the sample sale. “And oh, don’t forget to tell them you are an intern here.” What we realized when we got there, is that, not only is everything already way cheaper because it is a sample sale, but employees got an even cheaper deal - any item for $25. Thats right, no matter what the item was, it was $25. I.was.in.heaven. I mean, my first day of work and I was out shopping and getting the employee discount. Sweet. 

So, this DVF skirt - $25. Yeah. I’ve worn some of the other things I got that day on this blog, I just never thought to mention that story. But that was a good day.
