Daily Outfit - Jen - 02/23/11

I just booked tickets to Florida, so it's time to start slowly exposing my skin to the sun again. When I walked out into the sun this morning, my legs actually shrieked and ran away with themselves. That was unfortunate, but luckily I have my back-up wooden stump legs that I can put on for outfit pictures.

My outfit one year ago.

Can you tell that I am obsessed with this H&M blouse? I practically wear it every other day. I just love it so much. I'm bummed that today was so busy that I missed all the pretty light, because this is why my pictures are... ehhhh, the way that they are.

Today was a great day. Can you tell I am happy? I felt good about this outfit and feel good about the Schnauzer PJs I'm in right now. They were an xmas gift from my mom, and they're awesome.

I need a fancy dress for New Year's!

Daily Outfit - Jen - 9/15/10

I've wanted to get some fake pearl strands to tie in a knot for a reaaaally long time. Isn't that ridiculous? I finally found some at H&M in San Francisco and decided that today was the day I'd go for it. I don't think I've second-guessed an accessory more ever before. I went back and forth all morning and felt strangely self-conscious. I finally sucked it up, wore my knotted pearls, and am excited to pair them with future outfits. Weeeeeee. Stepped outside of my comfort zone. Pat on my back!

Is wearing the same skirt twice in one week a fashion faux pas? I don't actually care - just wondering!

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 - 4/6/10

I hated yesterday's outfit SO MUCH.

SO.

MUCH.


See? I didn't even want to look at myself in it?

Friends, take my advice: if a shirt doesn't look all that cute on you but you by it anyway because it's only $2, YOU WILL REGRET IT. I would pay $2 not to ever suffer this shirt again. HORRORS.

Side view to really show the issue:

GAH!!! I'M A PREGNANT FAT-ARMED OLD WHALE!

Oh wait. I'm not. I'm a decidedly non-pregnant 24-year-old human.

I hate this stupid shirt.

Funny story, though? Yesterday afternoon I was bitching about it to a co-worker and she apparently LOVES my shirt. Loves it. So when I told her I was going to throw it away she said, "Don't do that! I like it! Give it to me!". So this weekend I will wash it and next week I will give it to her. And I will NEVER HAVE TO HAVE IT ON MY BODY EVER AGAIN.

Good riddance.

But hey - cute shoes!


Shirt from hell: thrifted
Skirt: LLBean
Shoes: Macy's, 2008ish. Rarely worn, always adored.
Necklace: gift from Jeff
Ring: MacroSun, winter 2008
Earrings: MOM.

Daily Outfit - Jen - 2/4/10

It poured in Austin all day. Maybe it's just me, but it's pretty stupid that we get all of our precipitation at one time. Hey, Rain. Remember when we had that drought this past summer? Nice of you to finally show up.

I won't lie. I didn't put much thought into today's outfit. My main goal was to make sure I wasn't breaking any rules, like "No Uggs." Phew.
