Closet Confection: When It Rains, It Pours

2010_1104_outfit3

When: Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Where: Work

What: Jacket ($60 French Connection via Loehmann’s), dress ($50 Marc Jacobs via Century 21), boots ($100 Givenchy via eBay), umbrella (Missoni via Century 21)

So this post is a little out of order (I’m doing Wednesday’s outfit tomorrow), but it finally rained hard enough for me to show off my new rain boots, and I just couldn’t wait until tomorrow to share.

A friend of mine got them last year, and I’ve been coveting them ever since. Unfortunately, they were sold out everywhere at the time.  Being the determined ebay ninja that I am, I finally spotted a pair in my size (at a significant discount), and the rest is history!

I love them so much that I want to make a movie about them…

However, I’d probably be the only one in the audience.  Kind of like that time I saw Cable Guy…

Closet Confection: On the Mayflower

2010_1102_outfit1

When: Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

Where: Work

What: Coat (Miss Sixty), dress ($10 via Old Navy clearance sale), scarf ($30 Missoni via eBay), shoes ($50 Vince Camuto via Loehmann’s)

So, my second day taking my own photos went a little more smoothly than the first.  This time around, I just focused on completely tuning out the people around me. It almost worked like a charm, except for the random old guy who yelled “Good luck!”

I’m still not sure what that was about.

Anyhoo, back to the outfit.

I bought this dress at Old Navy a few years back.  And because I have a terrible habit of buying things in multiples, I have another one in black.  I almost forgot I had this dress until I recently reorganized my closet (video post coming as soon as I get my hands on a decent editing program).

After leaving the apartment and arriving to work, I suddenly remembered why I never wear this dress…

DOH! I think I subconsciously knew that I looked like a pilgrim, which is why I decided to top it off by wearing these buckled ankle boots.

See, that’s what happens when your life is centered around food.  Last month I was channeling McDonald’s, and this month it’s Thanksgiving apparently.  I’m not going to worry about it too much, but I draw the line at dressing like a turkey.

When: Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

What: Blazer (Nine West, part of a suit), dress ($35 Banana Republic, also seen here), handbag (Bally vintage via eBay), boots (Nine West via Filene’s Basement)

I just want to warn you all…

You’ll probably be seeing these boots on the blog A LOT for the next couple of weeks.

2010_1026_outfit3

I bought them on a whim after work one evening, and now I just love them to death!

In fact, I’m wearing them now as I type this post at 2am.  They’ve been on my feet for the past 12 hours, and I could easily go 12 more.  They are just that comfy.

I wasn’t sure if I could pull them off at first because they just seemed so… SASSY!

But sometimes a little sass is just what a girl needs!
