Zara is having a pretty friggin’ awesome sale right now!

After searching high and low for a long plaid vintage skirt, I struck gold when I found this little number for $40 marked down from $80.  I love it so much that I’ve worn it twice in the last week: Once with a burgundy turtleneck and again as you see it here.

Excuse me as I enjoy my retro moment.

Closet Confection: Yo, Taxi!

Miss Sixty Jacket, Sculptz Leggings, Laila Rowe Rhinestone Brooch, Forever 21 Scarf, and Thrift Store Boots by ClosetConfection--A Fashion Blog

When: Sunday, December 26th, 2010

Where: Dinner in the city

What: Coat (Miss Sixty via Burlington Coat Factory), black tunic tee (H&M… it’s under the coat, trust me), knit hat (JC Penney), ruffle wrap scarf (Forever 21), tie-dye leggings (c/o Silkies), leg warmers (Uniqlo), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet)

It seems like all I wanna do is be lazy comfortable this holiday season.  My usual uniform is a dress and heels, but with the temperatures dropping (not to mention the recent snowstorm NYC was slammed with), I find myself reaching more and more for leggings and stretchy jeans to layer on top of one another.*

As you may have noticed, I am a big fan of kooky legwear.  I had been wanting to add a tie-dye pair to my collection for a while, so I was pretty excited when Silkies sent me a pair of their new Sculptz Tie-Dye Opaque Leggings with Control Top to review.  And boy- ‘o-boy, when they say control top, they really mean it.  For those who care about such things, these baby’s will definitely hold it all in.  I loved the fact that they’re opaque and not at all thin and see-through. They also come in solid colors, and I have my eye on the Copper and Purple versions.

Stay tuned tomorrow for my winter snow bunny outfit and tales of how I survived the Great Blizzard of 2010!

*Just to clarify, I mean leggings on top of leggings and jeans on top of leggings.  Leggings on top of  jeans would probably be pretty weird.

Closet Confection: Pinky On the Brain

2010_1218_outfit1

When: Saturday, December 18th, 2010

Where: Brunch + Christmas Shopping

What: Sweater ($40 Rugby on sale), skirt ($20 Forever 21), knit headband (Forever 21), boots ($30 Strawberry), tights (Hue & Calvin Klein yes, I’m wearing 2 pairs ‘cuz it’s cold!), coat (Miss Sixty), scarf (H&M), necklace (Jess LC)

Yay for my first official post on WordPress!  I actually wasn’t planning on switching over completely until the new year, but I was messing around in GoDaddy and accidentally changed my DNS settings.  After freaking out for a couple of hours, I finally bit the bullet and spent all night cleaning things up over here and making them all nice and pretty for you readers.  It’s still very much a work in progress (I’ve got some weird things going on with transferring my comments), but prepare to be dazzled in 2011 by all of the neat things I’ll be able to do now that I’ve moved away from hosting my main content on Tumblr.

Ok, enough of the tech talk!  Let’s dive into today’s outfit…

I picked this sweater up at Rugby a couple of years ago, and it’s super warm and cozy.  As I’m typing this post, I just realized that I forgot to take pics of it’s coolest feature: suede elbow patches! Oh well, maybe next time since I’m sure I’ll be relying on this sweater a lot as the temps continue to drop.  Speaking of cold weather, I also decided to double up on tights which turned out to be a fantastic idea.  Having two layers so close to my skin definitely helped retain body heat.  And as you may recall from my previous post, I’m on a mission to stock up on knit headbands in different colors in lieu of always wearing a hat.  This is one of the last ones I could find at F21, and I’m 1/3 of the way done knitting a lavender one for myself.

I’ve gotta run now since it’s Christmas Eve, and I still haven’t finished wrapping gifts.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!
