Daily Outfit - Jen - 01/19/11

This outfit was a big hit with me and my coworkers and the world at large, and it's such a diggity damn shame that I cannot pose for shiiiieeet. This was really pretty in person - I promise! It wasn't frumpy or reminiscent of a maternity top in person - I promise! I'm a genius - I promise!

My outfit one year ago.

Blazer: H&M

Blouse: H&M

This photo is dark for a reason:



And that's because this outfit is THE MOST BORING ONE KNOWN TO MAN.

That's what tends to happen when one is so busy knitting that one is running late for work, and then one must throw on whatever clothes one can find.

(You see? I used "one" there as if I weren't the person doing it.)

Cardi: Filene's Basement? maybe?
Tee: GAP
Skirt: Old Navy
Boots: FLUEVOG!
Necklace: Christmas gift from Jeff :-)
Earrings: Mumsie

I am soooo exhausted. My brain hurts. I can scarcely believe that I managed to get dressed this morning, if I'm going to be honest. I'm going wedding dress shopping with my sister this weekend, so I guess I better start resting up!

Daily Outfit - Kate - 11/8/10

I rarely wear this sweater because it's acrylic. And every time I wear it, I really wish it were wool instead.

To me, acrylic just doesn't breathe. It pills up really quickly and looks ragged and just doesn't feel nice against my skin.

But have you ever tried to buy a wool sweater with this much drape and yardage? For how much it costs, I may as well spend the same $$ on yarn, knit my own and get some fun out of it, too, right? :-P



But all that aside, I did like yesterday's outfit. The color palette really worked for me: a bright primary (the tights), a bright secondary (the sweater), and a muted secondary (the tank), along with neutral browns. I doubt that's a formula you'd find in any color guidelines, but I liked it :-)

Sweater: somewhere in Chicago, 2/2010
Tank: Target
Skirt: Sears, circa 2008
Maryjanes: no clue
Tights: F21
Earrings: Mom

Daily Outfit - Kate - 10/14/10

Today's plan consisted of getting tortured* at the eye doctor this morning, feeling icky and bloated, and taking a long walk home.

So today's outfit required COMFORT.

Win!

*OK so that's an exaggeration. But I did spend the rest of the day with a splitting headache.
