Daily Outfit - Kate - 7/7/10

OMG I can't believe I'm actually showing you this.



WORST HAIR EVER. WORST POSE EVER. WORST EXPRESSION EVER.

But a cute outfit. Even if I did look vaguely Amish on the webcam tonight (Jeff even said so. The fact that I was shoveling macaroni and cheese in my mouth and singing along to Lady Gaga at the same time must not've factored into his assessment.)

I dunno. Headband? Turtleneck? Plus I guess with the Friendship Bread, I can see it...

Tee: thrifted
Cardigan: Target, spring 2010
Skirt: Apostrophe by Sears, 2008
Shoes: somewhere. Sometime. A long time ago.
Earrings: mom
Bracelet: Fair Ophelia Designs, at Strange Folk last year

Daily Outfit - Kate - 4/26/10

Aaaah! It feels good to be back! Dontcha hate it when life pulls you out of your routines?

To celebrate a return to routine, I'm wearing...


polka dots! I've had this dress in my closet for - no kidding - 5 years (I remember 'cause I bought it juuuust after Jeff and i got together) and IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE WORN IT. I don't know what to tell ya. I'm a crazyperson.

I also just put in a lasagne for dinner, and while cleaning up the post-lasagne kitchen, I rinsed the half-ful spaghetti sauce jar, not the empty one.

That's pretty indicative of this past week. Just in case you were wondering.



Can I just say also that I LOVE this Tiffany's bracelet? It doesn't get as much wear as it used to - I wore it or the matching necklace almost every day during college - but every time I wear it now it makes me so happy. So nice and substantial and pretty and happy!

Dress: Goody's in Kirksville
Tee: thrifted, originally Target
Cardigan: Target, spring 2010
Flats: Born, summer 2008
Earrings: yard sale
Bracelet: Tiffany & Co.

(I love mixing accessories from yard sales and high-end jewelers. True. <3.)

Daily Outfit - Kate - 4/12/10

New cardigan!



I'm deeply, sincerely hoping that THIS WILL BE THE ONE to supplement my old ratty white cardigan. It's cotton, 3/4 sleeves, a bit of interesting detail (but not overwhelming), in a nice solid color. Nevermind that it's magenta and long and ruffly. Other than that, they're practically identical :-P



Also, MOMJEWELRY!

I love this stinkin' necklace so much.



Cardigan: Target, spring 2010
Tee: Old Navy

Shoes: Naturalizer, fall/winter 2009
Necklace and Earrings: MUMSIE

Daily Outfit - Kate - 3/3/10

This outfit is completely, 100% dedicated to my mom. I've no doubt that if Mom and I were to have a Freaky Friday, she'd put on this exact outfit. And she'd probably also have my tattoo removed and spend a lot of time being jealous of my perky 34B-never-breastfed-a-baby boobs.



Know why else this is dedicated to my mom? Because that super cute black shirt was hers :-) She wore it in college, I think, and I found it in her closet a few years back. I took it, and now it is mine and I <3 it (forgot to take a picture of the side view, but that's what really makes it - the back is longer than the front; a very Victorian silhouette - and it's got a cute little tie, too :-) ). I know Mom also loves these shoeties, because ever since I got mine she's been on a quest for her own pair!

But that's not the only vintage-via-Mom piece in this outfit - the necklace was hers, too:


It's so simple and perfect, isn't it? Just white gold and diamond chips. I love wearing it with big earrings, when I still want to have a necklace but not overwhelm the outfit.
