Closet Confection: Love Potion No. 9

2010_1116_outfit1

When: Monday, November 15th, 2010

Where: The office

What: Sweater (H&M years ago), skirt (Banana Republic), tights (Emilio Cavallini), shoes (Via Spiga), belt (Oscar de la Renta)

After meticulously pre-ironing and laying out all of my outfits last week (down to the last earring), I decided to allow my outfits come together more organically this week…

In other words, I was too lazy to plan everything out over the weekend!

And of course, I was rushing around like a madwoman trying to leave the house on time Monday morning, only to realize once I got to the office that my 8:30am meeting had been rescheduled.

Oh well, such is life.

On another note, I’ve reached an exciting point in the challenge where I’ve actually started repeating items. As you may have noticed, I wore this skirt last week. I doubt anyone at my office noticed since it’s just a simple black skirt, but I am feeling a little anxious about wearing my vintage plaid shirt again tomorrow.

I even had a set of Supergirl pajamas that came with a detachable velcro cape.

As I got older, my goals became less lofty and more practical.  And while I pride myself on being a “responsible grown-up”, sometimes I miss the good old days.

What: Dress (Walter), scarf ($30 Missoni via eBay), tights (Calvin Klein), jewelry (Forever 21), belt (H&M), handbag (Kenneth Cole), shoes ($23 Forever 21)

It was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS this weekend! 

A girl could get spoiled by not having to wear a jacket in the middle of November!

I was originally planning to wear this dress later on in the 30 for 30 challenge, but I was inspired to wear it earlier because…

It’s made by one of my favorite designers, Walter Baker, AND…

I was recently invited to his showroom (where I got to meet Walter in person) to do an early preview of his newest collection!

I’ve only been blogging since April, and I’ve never been to a designer’s showroom before.  So needless to say, I was beyond excited to receive the invitation but also totally clueless about what to expect. I decided to go with my best interpretation of how a young fashion editor would dress (see last Thursday’s ensemble) and take copious notes and lots of pictures.

Stay tuned, my lovelies, for a full rundown on Walter’s latest collection by yours truly!
