this sweater was on the expensive side, but I sure do get a lot of wear out of it. It's just so darn cozy. Plus it has good coverage so I can get away with jeggings at work without showing too much booty.
I went out to my favorite place Saturday (Esperanto!) and was wanting a cozy casual look. After all it's a little cold out and I walked there. This fit the bill for me, but the photo is not flattering at all. The angle is a little high, so I look a LOT wider than I did in person - at least I hope so.
Today is going to be a rainy blah Monday so I wanted to have a little fun. I looked for some color and tried to mix and match items a little. I think I turned out a cute outfit, though maybe the skirt is a tiny bit short. Oh well, I'm rocking it!
Friday I was feeling pretty ho-hum, so I thought I'd dress cheerfully and see if that worked. It didn't but at least I didn't look as blah as I felt! Still pleased with the purchase of this dress. I will wear it for years. the shoes are one of my October purchases - just some simple black wedges for work that are sure to get a ton of wear.
I swear these pants are so not me but I just love them. Today I pared them with a new silk top I got from Express in the style du jour: military. I'm really happy with it. Feels simple and sophisticated and on trend. And my inner voice is not chirping that the pants make me look fat. I can't really explain my love for these pants. They may not even be flattering, but I'm blinded! I think the gold accessories are essential to this look so I went bigger on those. 
Still loving the Tucker line. this is a simple blouse in a cream color that I got for layering with dresses this winter. $30 is a great price for this. Added accessories for outdoors, but it had a more simple look indoors. Both I think work for me.
And I'm STILL loving the Tucker for Target pieces I bought. This little dress was on $40 and it was perfect for a layered look to the movies and dinner. Just screams fall. I may actually splurge and get a silk Tucker dress from the actual line. 
Kim and I decided that October 1st was the absolute soonest you could break out the tights, but today I just felt like it. 
I've never really been 100% sure these two go together. I mean black and kakhi, sure...but black and dark brown? This morning I thought I'd experiment and give it a shot. Plus I wanted to wear my new black pants! Upon seeing this photo I have a couple of misgivings. 
You've seen this dress before (Converse for Target,$30 ) , but today I paired it with my blue Cole Haan Bacara flats ($138) for comfort and a sexy compression garment for my ankle. I'm sure the boys will come running. 
Stumbled upon this statue of Sir Walter Raleigh on my Saturday afternoon city walk through Greenwich Village. The fact that Clive Owen played him in the second installment of Elizabeth only makes me more statue-smitten. I, on the other hand, am dressed for comfort. Cute I think, but feeling a little porky still. 
Happy Four Day Weekend! Today I was going for a casual look with a military vibe. The navy sequin tank is new and I love, love, love it. The brown strap you're seeing is a crossbody bacg that should have been in the shot but wasn't. Oh well.
This outfit is just perfect for summer - easy and polished at the same time. The rosary adds an edge to an otherwise preppy look. As do the numerous tattoos. : )
It is so hot out today and I am running out of clothes that don't feel like clothes. I put this little number on - you've seen it before - and the black top is like a magnet for the heat. I was boiling waiting for the bus. The shoes are new though, my Enzo gladiators had seen way better days and these were on sale.
I am generally not a trendy person. I'd describe my look as more classic with some edge (or at least trying to be) and I hate to buy stuff that will go out of style with the season. I'm sure you've seen fedoras EVERYWHERE because lord knows I have, and I've been trying to fight it.
Okay...I know the Chinos have caused hot debate on this site in the past, but I think I have finally learned how to make them work. I really like my outfit today. The colors feel on trend for "Camo" and it just feels put together. You may also notice I am trying to rock a fedora. It's my first and will get it's own post, but would love your opinions.
Took Saturday's top and tried to re-do it for day. Added a gold belt and went with brown shoes. Also tried a different shape of jean. These bootcut seem to balance the top better, but I think the top is pretty blousy, so it's always going to me look a little fuller. I still love it though, and people do compliment it so I'm glad I bought it.
