Closet Confection: I Plead the Fifth

rugby sweater tunic, ankle zip skinny jeans, brown bcbg ankle boots, floral handbag, floral bangle bracelet

When: Friday, February 4th, 2011

Where: Work + Dinner @ Hill Country Chicken

What: Sweater (Rugby, thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), jeans (Forever 21), shoes (BCBG via Loehmann’s), handbag (Forever 21), belt (hand-me-down), bracelet (Forever 21)

As I’m writing this post, it’s 8:30pm on Super Bowl Sunday.  I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, but I’m rooting for the guys in the yellow pants.  Oh wait, they’re all wearing yellow pants…  Ok, I’m rooting for the guys wearing the green and yellow pants (my husband just informed me that those are the Packers of Green Bay).  Go Green Bay!

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not a big sports fan.  Except for figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics.

    I love this outfit! For some reason, I’ve seen a lot of white today, but this top is easily my favourite…it just looks like one of those great basics that everyone should have. And the floral handbag make me excited for spring to get here already!

  • Santina February 7, 2011 at 5:15 am

    Love the contrasting floral accessories!

  • Anonymous February 7, 2011 at 5:32 am

    LOVE those shoes! And I pretty much just watch the SuperBowl every year for the commercials.

    Does your husband watch figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics with you? 😉

    • ClosetConfections February 7, 2011 at 11:50 am

      He doesn’t, but I just might have to start forcing him too. 😉

  • kris February 7, 2011 at 1:56 am

    Love the purse. Such a sweet contrast to the chic and edgy look of black leggings.

  • Alessandra February 7, 2011 at 9:46 am

    I’m a big fan of your outfit! Love the simplicity with all the perfect accessories. You look amazing.

  • Miss A February 7, 2011 at 11:43 am

    Cute outfit! And I have that cuff bracelet too!

    • ClosetConfections February 7, 2011 at 11:49 am

      Cool! I’ve had it for ages and still love it.

  • ClosetConfections February 7, 2011 at 11:50 am

    Thanks! It was nice to carry around a smaller clutch as opposed to my regular HUGE handbags, lol.

  • ClosetConfections February 7, 2011 at 11:51 am

    I am soooooo ready for winner to be over too!

  • ClosetConfections February 7, 2011 at 11:52 am

    Glad you like it! 🙂

  • Jenn from Much to My Delight February 7, 2011 at 2:18 pm

    Agreed with others–that floral handbag takes your cream sweater to another level! Gives a subtle wink to the (please, please hurry up!) upcoming spring season.

    • ClosetConfections February 8, 2011 at 1:05 am

      Omigosh, I CANNOT WAIT for spring! This snow/ice/slush business is for the birds.

  • Sing February 7, 2011 at 11:13 am

    Adorable, I love it.

  • Alex February 7, 2011 at 11:52 am

    Me yesterday: there’s so much yellow on the screen right now I do not even know what is going on who just scored? I love that sweater (love Rugby) and I love how you accessorized this look!

  • Robin Louise February 7, 2011 at 12:38 pm

    I am into your super big earrings! I am always looking for them, but my ears aren’t pierced and it’s super hard to find giant clip ons. Keep wearin’ em so I can live vicariously through you!

  • Anonymous February 8, 2011 at 12:24 am

    hehehe. LOL at “they are both wearing yellow pants.” I said the same thing. I mean, I knew which team was which, but it’s hard to follow the game when both teams are wearing the same color! sheesh!

    That bag is darling, darling, darling! love it!

    • ClosetConfections February 8, 2011 at 1:02 am

      Tell me about it! Football is definitely not my forte, but I can spot a great handbag a mile away!

  • LaReK February 8, 2011 at 12:28 am

    Beautiful outfit! About the bag, OMG! Love it!

  • ClosetConfections February 8, 2011 at 1:03 am

    Oh, I can’t imagine not having my ears pierced. I’ll let you know if I find any large (comfy) clip-ons!

  • ClosetConfections February 8, 2011 at 1:03 am

    Thanks, I love Rugby too… especially their sales!

  • ClosetConfections February 8, 2011 at 1:04 am

    Muchas gracias!

    I was a figure skater, haha!

    Those shoes are KILLER. I miss NYC where those kinds of deals can happen.

  • Leslie Heimer February 8, 2011 at 1:30 pm

    I am with you! I cheer for the team with the cutest costumes! Great bag and love the belt placement!

  • ginger February 8, 2011 at 4:50 pm

    Love the handbag! I’ve had carpet bags on the brain for a week, which means I need to either find one, or blog about them to get it out of my system. Very cute outfit.

  • JillGG February 9, 2011 at 6:17 pm

    oh I really love this look! I need a cozy white sweater, although, it may be a little late in the season to search one out. I am loving your 30/30 this go round!

  • Alana February 9, 2011 at 7:53 pm

    Oooooooooo………….I love the purse so much!

  • ClosetConfections February 10, 2011 at 2:34 pm

    Thanks, it was such a great find. And cheap too!

  • ClosetConfections February 10, 2011 at 2:35 pm

    Maybe you’ll get lucky and snag one on sale! I picked this one up at one of those thrift store where you can swap your old clothes for someone else’s.
