Daily Outfit - Kate - 1/10/11

I had an extra bounce in my step yesterday, because not only was I wearing my new LLBean dress...



But I was ALSO wearing new handknitted knee socks!



Here's a blurry, yellow, non-yesterday picture of 'em:


I LOVED this outfit! So happy and perfect and LLBean-y and handknit-y and Mom's-jewelry-y. What's not to love?

Dress: LLBean
Boots: LLBean
Socks: handknit by meee! (Pattern is "Lakeside")
Earrings: mum!
Necklace: mum!

Daily Outfit - Kate - 9/30/10

My photographer is on an airplane today and - alas - not photographing me.



Aah, Tripod. My nemesis. We meet again.

This shirt + this skirt is a natural pairing. It is pretty and makes me happy.

Top: Wal-Mart, via Mom
Belt: Target
Skirt: thrifted, originally Target
Shoes: Macy's?
Necklace: Strange Folk 2010
Earrings: Meierotto's jewelers

Daily Outfit - Kate - 9/15/10

Today I wear black, to mourn my lost youth.



Saturday I take my lens in to the shop, to figure out why it won't focus.

I rarely do the monochrome thing. Only when I have a really great reason :-D

Cardigan: Old Navy, 2010
Tee: Old Navy
Skirt: thrifted, originally Delia's
Boots: 704b, via DSW
Scarf: ???
Earrings: mum

The Spoils: LLBean

I did it.

You knew I was gonna do it, right?

Really, I think we should just accept it, and move on.

Fact of the matter is, an LLBean Closet Craving will, almost inevitably, turn into an LLBean The Spoils.

It just happens. Don't ask me how, 'cause I have no freaking idea.



But...how could I resist?

The sleeves that can be worn down or rolled up.

The fine-wale corduroy.

The adorable removable sash (I'm going to wear this with, like, every belt I own.)

The perfect length and fit (you'll just have to trust me here; in the August heat I couldn't wear it for one second longer than absolutely necessary).

The super feminine detailing.




This dress and I? We were meant to be.

Now the real challenge is - can I resist ordering it in blue, too?
