Closet Confection: Twenty-Four Karat Gold

closet confections, personal style blog, outfit of the day, fashion blogger, grey wrap cardigan, black corduroys, black leather boots, d&g sunglasses

When: Monday, February 21st, 2011

Where: It was my day off, so nowhere in particular…

What: Cardigan (H&M), cords (Uniqlo), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), sunglasses (Dolce & Gabbana via Loehmann’s), ring (H&M), AC DC bracelet set (Amrita Singh via HauteLook)

This is just me enjoying a relaxing day off.  If the weather had been warmer, I definitely would have fired up that grill in the background and had myself a nice little BBQ.

Remember a little while ago when I mentioned that I was overly obsessive a little apprehensive about mixing metals?  Well I am slowly but surely getting over that hump.  I scored these cute multi-color bangles on Hautelook a while back, and I LOVE them.  They’re a little loud when they clang together, but they’re perfect for bridging the gap when I feel weird about my belt buckle and watch not matching.  There’s nothing I love more than bare arms loaded up with bangles, so I have a feeling these will be on heavy rotation come spring and summer.  If you want a set for yourself (which I highly recommend), they’re on sale for $20 (marked down from $75) on the Amrita Singh website.

I thought I’d leave you with a few random facts about this prime number:

  • Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
  • There are 23 discs in the human spine.
  • The Earth’s axis is tilted at a 23.5 degree angle.
  • The average person breathes about 23,000 times a day.
  • It takes 23 seconds for blood to make a complete circuit of the human body.
  • There are 23 steps between floors in the Pentagon.
  • Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times.

Am I missing anything?
