Closet Confection: Makin’ A Dollar Outta Fifteen Cents

ralph lauren rugby sweater dress, black tights, black boots

When: Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Where: Who knows?

What: Sweater dress (RL Rugby thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), tights (Wolford), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), necklace (H&M)

Wooohoo, this entire outfit was thrifted… except for the necklace… and the tights.  Come to think of it, thrifted tights would be kinda gross.  Geez, the more I type, the less impressive this is sounding.

In all fairness, the sweater and boots were actually better than thrifted.  They were kinda free since I traded in some other items at Beacon’s Closet and used my store credits for new merchandise in lieu of cash.  Ok, I think I just redeemed myself.

In other news, my attempts to get a little more creative with my outfit posts has caused me to lag a little behind in my 30 for 30 postings.  Yikes!  Time to play catch up.

When: Friday, February 11th, 2011

Where: Blogger Dinner @ BONDST

What: Blouse/Cape thingy (Topshop), tunic ($8 H&M), leggings (Forever 21), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), coat (Benedetta Novi via Daffy’s)

Last Friday, I had the wonderful pleasure of having dinner with the following bloganistas:

In addition to being super-sweet, each of these ladies run slammin’ blogs.  So be sure to check ’em out!

During the course of the evening, we laughed, we talked, we drank, and we ate.  I was kinda bummed all week over not being able to attend any of the fashion blogger conferences and events because of work, but living vicariously through some of the ladies who were able to attend helped make up for it.

I have no shame in admitting that I obsess over what I’m going to wear any time I know I’ll be seeing other fashion bloggers.  And this outing was particularly challenging since I had to work within the confines of the 30 for 30 challenge.  After a long work week, I decided to just go for a comfy, casual look.

And since it was FRRRREEEEZING (per usual here in NYC these days), I jumped at the chance to wear my warmest winter coat.

I think I achieved the fashionista’s wintertime trifecta with this getup: warmth, coziness, and style… SCORE!

30 for 30 Weekly Round-Up: Outfits 7-12

7-12

7.    I got all cozy this weekend with soft, nubby stripes paired with peep-toe booties.
8.    Next, I introduced you all to the coatigan, which was pretty much like being wrapped inside a warm blanket all day (except way cuter).
9.    My olive dress was anything but drab once I slipped my leopard print blouse on underneath.
10.  Mixing old and new with my vintage dress and H&M blazer was a perfect look for a day of meetings and follow-up at work.
11.   For Valentine’s Day I decided to get all sassy and sweet with a leopard print skirt and bright red jacket.
12.   And finally, I kept things simple in a classic black and white ensemble.
