Closet Confection: The End of the Road

When: Sunday, June 20th, 2010

Where: Hangin’ out in the city

What: Dress ($5 H&M), belt ($28 Anthropologie), handbag ($99 Elliott Lucca via Loehmann’s), sandals (???), earrings (Forever21)

Can you believe this dress was only $5?!  Actually, it was $4.95 to be exact.  It very well may be a bathing suit coverup (I’m not sure), but that didn’t stop me from slapping a belt on this sucker and wearing it around town.  This outfit sort of gives me the same vibe as the romper I posted a while back, but I have to admit that I’m much more comfortable in dresses than shorts.

The earrings were unearthed from waaaaay back.  I think I may have bought them in college, but they’ve still held up.  Sorry that I blanked on the shoes guys.  I added in a gel insole, so I can’t see the designer label.  The picture didn’t come out so great, but they have a tiny wedge sole and spiky studs across the top and around the ankle that definitely make me feel like one tough mama!

What better way to kick off the summer than with a white linen dress?

Yep, I couldn’t think of one either!  I was originally planning to wear this dress on Memorial Day.   But then I realized that BBQ and white clothing just don’t mix.  Or rather, BBQ, white clothing, and my messy self just don’t mix!

Since we were doing a lot of walking that day, I decided to wear my most comfy sandals.  It’s going on 4 years with these babies, and I wear them to death in the summer.  So much so that my shoe repair guy tells me I should just let them go rather than keep having the elastic replaced near the buckle.  The thing is, I haven’t been able to find a suitable replacement in all these years.  In addition to having a simple, classic design that never goes out of style (at least I hope it doesn’t), the arch support on these sandals is amazing.

However, since I’m all about embracing change, I’m open to suggestions for alternatives if anyone has them.  Bring it on!

When: Sunday, May 2nd

Where: Window-shopping in Soho + dinner at Balthazar

What: Dress ($20 H&M), sandals ($20 Michael Kors via eBay), glasses ($40 Dolce & Gabana via Loehmann’s)

Yeah, so I’m posting this outfit way late.  The funny thing is, I love this dress and was so excited when it finally got warm enough to wear it.  So excited in fact, that I forgot to post it!

Anyway, it was a scorching 87 degrees that day.  But I felt so breezy and comfortable in this dress.  I got soooo many compliments that day that I really felt like a million bucks.

Fast-forward a week and a half later and the temperature has barely reached 60 the last few days.  Bummer… I WANT MY SPRING BACK!

P.S.

I went ahead and numbered this post because I can be pretty forgetful at times, and I’m sure I’ll repeat this mistake again.  Apologies in advance.
