Closet Confection: Summer Rain

{Banana Republic Dress, Cynthia Vincent for Target Sandals, Dooney & Burke Handbag}

As much as I am a Glee fan, I just want to start off this post by stating that its title is in no way an endorsement of this song.

Ok, I’m glad we got that cleared up!

Yesterday was pretty dreary with the rain and all, so I decided to go with a simple but cheery ensemble to combat the grey skies. Since pink is one of my favorite colors, I can’t help but smile every time I wear this dress. Click the pics below to check out two different ways I’ve styled it up in the past:

Closet Confections: Oh The Places You’ll Go

There are just so many things I love about this outfit. For starters, this dress was a major thrift store find. I had pined away for this Marc Jacobs dress when it first hit the stores, but I just couldn’t justify the $628 price tag. Luckily, my pocketbook and I didn’t have to brood for too long once I scooped up this bright and cheery frock for just $30! And speaking of pocketbooks…

I couldn’t be more thrilled with my new Dooney & Bourke handbag. To be quite honest, Dooney & Bourke isn’t a brand I’ve given much thought in at least the past 10 years or so. They were somewhat popular when I was in high school, but somewhere along the way they just fell off my radar. I think I got turned off by those weird pastel designs with logos plastered everywhere that they were doing for a while. In any case, they have some great new designs available now. And not only are they great quality, but they’re pretty affordable. For the best deal, I’d recommend buying in a store rather than online as I was able to scoop up my bag for under $100 via in-store promotions!

And finally, the thing I love most about this outfit is that it reminds me of one of my favorite Dr. Suess books of all time…
Not sure if that was intentional on the designer’s part, but I still think it’s pretty cool!

Closet Confection: Seeing Spots

Just another day at the office…

Whenever I’m at a loss for what to wear to work, I often find myself resorting to a classic black and white ensemble. I even have all of my black and white dresses and bottoms placed together in one corner of my closet for easy access when I’m just too bleary-eyed and unmotivated to do much thinking. It’s pretty much fool-proof dressing. The key for making this look work in the summertime is to stick with sheer, lightweight pieces. Fun accents like my polka dot skirt and bow-front blouse also help inject a little personality into the ensemble and keep me from feeling like a corporate drone.
