Closet Confection: Baby, It’s Cold Outside

2010_1223_outfit1

When: Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Where: Central Park

What: Dress (vintage via eBay), down vest (Gap), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), belt (H&M), earmuffs (H&M)

I was fully intending to remove my vest and earmuffs before snapping these pics in the park, but it was C-C-C-COLD!

I haven’t worn a down vest since college, but when I saw this ultra-thin version on sale at the Gap for $17 I decided to give it a go.  This turned out to be a good decision (right on up there with marrying my husband and moving to New York City), and I’ve been wearing it under my jackets all weekend to help keep warm.

P.S. I’ve linked this post up with Jewelscapes Bejeweled Wednesdays!

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!
