Zara is having a pretty friggin’ awesome sale right now!

After searching high and low for a long plaid vintage skirt, I struck gold when I found this little number for $40 marked down from $80.  I love it so much that I’ve worn it twice in the last week: Once with a burgundy turtleneck and again as you see it here.

Excuse me as I enjoy my retro moment.

Friend Friday: How I Get Dressed!

This week’s Modly Chic’s Friend Friday topic is all about how I go about getting dressed each day.

Check out this week’s short video where I answer the following questions about my daily dressing habits:

  1. How do you determine what you will wear that day?
  2. Do you plan outfits out in advance for a whole week, month, weekend?
  3. Do you have any specific way of tracking outfits and items already worn so you don’t repeat
  4. How do you discover new combinations of items in your closet?
  5. To streamline the process for 2011 what is one new thing you can do to cut down your dressing time?

Closet Confection: In Bold Print

When: Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

Where: Work

What: Cardigan (Nine West via Filene’s Basement), dress (Strawberry), tights (Calvin Klein), shoes (Nicole Miller via Filene’s Basement)

I am sooooo over winter it’s not even funny!  Yesterday we got hit with another 7 inches of snow, and I was not a happy camper.  To shake away some of the winter blahs, I went for a bold graphic print.  It helped some, but I definitely would have preferred to be lying on a white sand beach somewhere in the Caribbean with a piña colada in hand.

Perhaps I’ll have my own indoor beach party this weekend.  What do you think?  I can crank up the thermostat to 85, throw on a couple of Bay Watch reruns, and lounge around the house in my bathing suit.

Perhaps I should take my Christmas tree down first…
