Daily Outfit - Jen - 03/10/11

So, it goes without saying that I love this tunic. I wear it probably once a week, no? Anyway, look at me! I changed it up! I was in love with this outfit. I am in love with this outfit. I'm going to wear it again soon, and you can't stop me.

Well, I guess you could stop me if you really wanted to, but look at my face. I am so happy! Would you really want to steal that joy from me? Really?

My outfit one year ago.

Daily Outfit - Jen - 11/18/10

This outfit makes me want to buy more bootcut jeans and heels. It also makes me want some mint chocolate chip ice cream and a Caramilk!

I have to take a nap, you guys. SOME OF US HAVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING (after watching a midnight showing of Harry Potter!!).

Daily Outfit - Jen - 10/19/10

I'm trying to think of something fun and interesting to write, but I'm too distracted. Sorry. To be fair, you would be distracted if you were in my position, too. That position being one in which a person is about to go out for some Thai food. See? You understand.

Daily Outfit - Jen - 7/30/10

My typical Friday get-up, but I fancied it up with a headband. Unfortunately, the only glimpse of my headband is in this ridiculous outtake.

I really like these jeans rolled up like this. Why has it taken me years to go for it? Now, I can't be stopped! DON'T EVEN TRY.

Tee: Old Navy

Jeans: Nordstrom

Headband: Claire's

Daily Outfit - Kate - 5/7/10

Casual Friday = happy Friday!



Oh and also WINDY Friday!

Seriously, St. Louis. Enough with the crazy weather - let's just have a little springtime, ok? (It got down in the 30's over the weekend, and it's only 50* out this morning!)



Loved this outfit - so casual and comfortable!

Daily Outfit - Kate - 4/30/10

I had a helper for Friday's pictures.



I frequently have a helper for my pictures.



It's just SO EXCITING, isn't it?



So here's the thing: I have NO IDEA where this shirt came from. It has been in my closet for a while, but I've never worn it before. It's a size small, and really I could've taken an XS. Which makes me think that - since I *didn't* - it was probably thrifted? Or from TJMaxx or Marshall's? But I don't even remember doing that. Moreover, it's polyester which I usually run from, but I love the print on this so much that I gave in.



Isn't that a lovely print? I just wish that the shirt were not polyester, and that it were smaller, and that the sleeves were different. So basically, I guess I wish it were entirely different except for the pattern.

::sigh::


That blue on my hand is the traces of a Note to Self, not a nasty case of vericose veins ;-)

Shirt: Heck if I know
Jeans: Levi's 518's
Boots: Ariat Legend
Bracelet: booth at the Kirksville Red Barn art festival
Earrings: Mum

Daily Outfit - Jen - 3/24/10

The dress didn't happen, today, I know. But it rained! So, that's a good reason to wear jeans... right? Anyway, I am pretty happy with what I threw together.

OH. And please note that this is the first time you have seen me in non-skinny jeans. I ordered these from Martin + Osa and am really happy with them, which is no surprise since their sister company is American Eagle - my jean brand of choice in my youth (YOUTH, HA!).

Could I possibly wear this shrug more often? Sheesh. I would really like to add more warm weather-friendly cardigans and shrugs to my wardrobe, but I did swear off shopping for the rest of March. That and now my coworkers are leaving notes of concern on my packages.

Shrug: Nordstrom Rack

Top: Old Navy (clearance!)

Necklace: Gift

Jeans: Martin + Osa

Flats: Steve Madden via DSW

Daily Outfit - Kate - 3/19/10

I went back and forth about posting this outfit - yeah it's just another turtleneck + jeans + cowboy boots + shawl. But I've gotta be honest about the awesome outfits and the not-so-awesome ones, so here it is.



And even if my outfit wasn't the most creative, isn't my big blonde accessory adorable?



The outfit wasn't a total loss, though. I'm wearing my new Citron shawl, and I actually figured out a way to style this dinky little thing so it's not *completely* useless!


Love that little flower clip, and I'm glad to be able to wear it for its prettiness *and* usefulness!

Turtleneck: Target
Jeans: Levi's 518's
Boots: Ariat Legend in "Brown Oiled Rowdy"
Shawl: Citron, knitted by me
Clip: Denielly at that craft show last fall
Earrings: mum

Daily Outfit - Kate - 2/26/10

::YAWN::



I am SO over this week. Hence the "I am SO over this week" face above.

I wasn't feeling very creative today, so I just took my pretty new silk scarf and paired it with a bunch of colors found within the scarf. Jeans for casual Friday. I like it, even though I felt a bit matchy-matchy.


See all da purdy colors?



Scarf: Target
Tee: GAP Outlet
Cardigan: Old Navy ($3 on clearance, bought by Mom :-))
Jeans: Levi's 518's
Shoes: Born Codder
Socks (zomg you can see them!) handknitted by moi
Earrings: mommmmmmmmmmm

Daily Outfit*S* - Kate - 2/20/10

Yes, outfitS. Because now apparently I'm one of those people who's so fancy that I can't just have one outfit for the day, oh no - I must change before high tea with the queen!

Actually, I could more appropriately replace that last clause with "...I picked out one outfit based upon a set of plans which ended up changing, so I switched to something more practical instead." But that's not as much fun, is it?

FIRST OF ALL, I want to say - yay for the end of Scarf Week! I can't believe I actually survived a whole week without wearing one stinkin' scarf. Hardest week of my life, probably. Of course, I had to celebrate its end in appropriate fashion:

Bitches, I WILL wear 14 scarves if I want to. And I will like it. And YOU will like it.

:-)

'K here's what I was really planning on leaving the house in:

Basic, right? And easy. And comfy.

Roxie liked it, too:

She's my happycutelovepuppy.

I'm not sure of the name for this scarf tie (if it even has a name), but I essentially just folded a square scarf in half, wrapped it on bandanna style then instead of letting the ends hang I tied them in front of the center section.

New earrings I bought from Mom's Etsy shop, too:


So that was the plan. Then I actually ended up leaving the house in this:

Blurry Roxietail is optional.

That was a good decision, as it was much more practical for our adventure - a short hike in a local state park - than the dress + studded boots combo would've been. :-)
