Closet Confection: What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear?

2010_1004_outfit1

When: Monday, October 4th, 2010

Where: Work

What: Blouse ($25 Tucker for Target), skirt ($35 Tucker for Target), brooch (H&M), shoes (Nine West)

Laying out my outfits ahead of time has been paying off big time so far this week!  I kid you not when I say that I think it makes me a lot more productive at work when I don’t have to scramble around for something to wear in the morning.  Instead, I can sleep in a little extra and just take my time getting ready and collecting my thoughts.

This particular outfit is one of my favorites for a few reasons.

#1: Pattern Mixing. It’s something I’ve been wanting to try, but I hadn’t found the right combo… until now.

#2: Ladylike Brooch. Not too long ago, I went on a brooch/pendant kick, and I’ve been looking for ways to incorporate them into my outfits.  An old episode of Murder She Wrote originally sparked the idea of pinning one to a bow-tied blouse à la Jessica Fletcher.

#3: Current website obsession. Last, but certainly not least, this outfit was inspired by my new favorite fashion website: What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear. Until now, I had been slightly embarrassed to admit how much I love the way Emma dresses on Glee. Then I stumbled across this site and learned that I’m not the only one… not by a mile.  If you love ultra-feminine, colorful, slightly retro, work-appropriate looks then definitely check out this site.

And ummm… yeah… I also have this blouse in another print, as seen here.

    What a great mix of patterns and pieces! You look wonderful. And again I decry that lack of Target in Canada.

      Thank you. It’s taken years for us to get a Target in Manhattan, so hand in there. Maybe it’ll happen one day. Until then, try eBay.

      Yes, skirts and dresses with pockets are the greatest.

    Wow! Love the matching colors on the polka dots and the skirt. I love how you put the brooch right on the bow. So cute!
