Closet Confection: Four Your Eyes Only

When: Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

Where: Work

What: Sweater (J. Crew), skirt (Forever 21), belt (hand-me-down), tights (???), shoes (Vince Camuto via Loehmann’s), sunglasses (Moschino via Loehmann’s)

Guys, I’m seriously plotting a move to Florida… or better yet, Hawaii.

Despite Puxatawney Phil’s recent prediction, the spring still seems so far from grasp.  Ahhh… but what can one do, other than put on a smile (through chattering teeth) and press on?

Throwing on a cozy sweater and nubby sweater tights does help some.

And the little foot warmer I keep under my desk at the office helps a lot!

Oh, and Swiss Miss hot cocoa!  With marshmallows!  That does wonders!

Ok, I guess winter isn’t all bad.

In other news:  Since I’m always trudging around in snow boots these days and changing my shoes at work anyway, I decided to be totally impractical and include peep toes in my 30 for 30 challenge.  This was a great idea in theory, however I didn’t factor in having to clear a little path between myself and my camera while taking outfit photos.  Doh!

    Love the mix of textures – that skirt is adorable! I have to say that the more I read about all the snow on the east coast, the happier I am with my choice to skip winter this year by living in Mexico! I highly recommend a move to a sunnier locale. 🙂

    You’re so brave…but then again, those photos are totally worth it. Adorable outfit on you. I don’t how you manage to pull of that color palette, but you totally do.

      I think the colors work because they’re all basically neutrals.

    Question for you can you show us how you organize your closet not only clothes but SHOES which is my biggest dilemma. I have a love for shoes and have so many that I forget what I have because I keep them in there boxs. So I went shopping today and saw two cute pairs of shoes but I stopped myself from buying them because I want to look through my shoes to see if I have anything similar….

      I can definitely do that. I put together a video series on my closet a while back but never got around to editing it. Thanks for the reminder!
