Daily Outfits - Kate - 3/5/10 and 3/8/10

It's another twofer today, because apparently - as I learned on Friday - pictures won't just blog themselves. I KNOW, right?


Wanna know what's more exciting than that outfit? The baby gate in the background. Because it's not currently braced in the doorway; it's been leaning against that wall since Friday. BECAUSE ROXIE IS HOUSEBROKEN!!!!!! And after only a year and a half.... :-{ But still! Housebroken!

Anyway, I felt really comfortable and happy in Friday's outfit. Nice cozy cardigan, comfy cotton tank (with embellishment! And not completely boring!) and my omnipresent 518's and Ariat boots. I'm gonna call this look "country casual" and if it were up to me I'd wear this every day that I *don't* wear skirts. Oh, wait. I do. And then I wear the boots with a skirt.



There you can see some of the detail on my tank, and also my awesome necklace. That's made from a Fitz's bottlecap, and I got it from a seller at Green With Indie last year. Fitz's is one of my favorite things about St. Louis :-)

Aaaaannnnd....today. An outfit that I planned before I got out of bed, and was honestly half the reason I even GOT out of bed. It's so 90's-licious; I love it!


I feel like an extra straight out of Empire Records! Sorta punky edgy, sorta sweet, REALLY 90's.


Even the necklace - which is too long on its own, so I wear it doubled up with the extra length as a choker - reminds me of the 90's. And I'm also realizing how the choker style is actually a little bit flattering, isn't it?

Daily Outfit - Kate - 2-2-10

I decided to celebrate Groundhog Day by...getting up, getting dressed, and going to work. Hey, no one said it was a big celebration :-P

More importantly than Punxatawny Phil seeing his shadow, though - I feel like I've got my outfit groove back!


I've had that sweater for 45 billion years (actually, since - I think - my freshman year of high school, so 10 years) and I can't believe how well it's held up. It used to be a much brighter blue, I'm not gonna lie, but I think it has faded well (nice and evenly) so I am still happy with it :-) I mean, would you know the difference if I hadn't told you? And the rest of the outfit just...came together! I love when that happens! I'm also kind of proud of myself for bringing in a few different textures, visually - the herringbone skirt, the studded boots, the over-the-top necklace. New territory for me.




Sweater: GAP, circa 2000
