Daily Outfit - Kate - 10/6/10

Guess this is my interpretation of "sexy schoolmarm."

...what's that you say? The phrase is "sexy schoolGIRL"?

Whatevs. Potato potahto.



Love the look of these patent leather brogues. Don't love how they make my feet feel. Don't care.

Daily Outfit - Kate - 9/16/10

Have I mentioned lately that I love this skirt?



I think I subconsciously planned this entire outfit to make myself feel pretty and feminine and happy, at a time when I really just feel tired and gross and lazy. I didn't do it on purpose, I swear!

Daily Outfit - Kate - 8/18/10

One of my favorite outfits in recent memory.



(even though I didn't remember to look at myself in a mirror before posing for photos - hence the skirt wonkiness and sweater ride-upiness.)

This was one where after I got dressed I kept going back to my full-length mirror and full-on *admiring* the look. Especially the red flowers on the cardigan buttons, and the red heels. LOVE.


Mayor McPuppy liked it, too.

(OH CRAP THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY HAIR. ::sigh:: I'm a mess.)

But like I said...was totally hot in person. I promise.

Cardigan: thrifted, from Avalon Exchange

Daily Outfit - Kate - 8/16/10

It's Monday. I could thus only put forth a bare minimum of effort. However, I don't feel that the result was one of those "bare minimum" looks.



It may not look like much here, but this outfit was great - comfy and flowy and sexy (love those peeptoes!) and with great accessories.



What more could a girl ask for?

Dress: thrifted, BCBG
Cardi: Target, spring 2010

Necklace, earrings: mi madre

Daily Outfit - Kate - 8/4/10

The picture really doesn't do this outfit justice.



Time and time again, this dress has proven to be one of the most versatile, fun, comfortable and adorable pieces in my wardrobe. Almost every variation I've tried has been a success. And this time was no exception - it was perfect to debut my red maryjanes! That's one of my favorite scarves/belts, too. Just...WIN.

Dress: Converse for Target
Scarf: vintage, thrifted

Jeff told me this afternoon, "You look cute today!"

Granted it was over webcam, so I probably looked like a pixelated rainbow-colored blob, but hey - a compliment's a compliment.



And also - HEY JEN!! HEADBAND!!!

I <3 headbands a bunch, all of a sudden. Methinks I shall seek out more at my earliest opportunity. Maybe ones that aren't all head-hurty next time.

Daily Outfit - Kate - 6/3/10

This is what I wore for an evening at the Shakespeare Festival with the women of Jeff's family (guess they're my family too :-P):



Nice and light and summery, huh? :-)

And look! I have a photo helper!



What wonderful assistance she provides.

Look! She even helped me frame the shot!


I just think she likes being in the spotlight, actually.

Daily Outfit - Kate - 5/26/10

today was one of those days where I had a Grand Vision, and then after much changing and tossing and switching and flinging and dropping and mixing, I was left with an entirely mediocre result.



Ever have those days?

Still though I <3 this skirt so I'm happy :-)

Also since it's apparently Dog Week here on our lil' ol' blog, behold:



I call it, "takes 1 through 15, representative."

She's a love!

Daily Outfit - Kate - 5/24/10

I am seriously on the fence about this top:



On the one hand - YAYPRETTYCOLORANDINTERESTINGSHAPE!

On the other hand - ICK.

Ya know what I mean?



So what do you think, dear readers?

Pros: nice color. fun texture (the stripes are actually part of the knit). cute little puffy sleeves. good length.

Cons: looks like a maternity top. gapes and sags most unappealingly. sorta 2003-esque.

Top: Kohls, 2007ish
Tank: thrifted, originally Old Navy
Skirt: GAP
Sandals: Privo, summer 2009
Necklace and earrings: my one and only mother
