As I’m writing this post, it’s 8:30pm on Super Bowl Sunday.  I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, but I’m rooting for the guys in the yellow pants.  Oh wait, they’re all wearing yellow pants…  Ok, I’m rooting for the guys wearing the green and yellow pants (my husband just informed me that those are the Packers of Green Bay).  Go Green Bay!

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not a big sports fan.  Except for figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics.

Closet Confection: The Day After Tomorrow

2010_1228_outfit1

When: Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

Where: Lunch meeting in Union Square

What: Dress (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet, possibly hand-made), blazer (Banana Republic), cableknit tights (Uniqlo), shoes (Via Spiga), belt (H&M)

First day back to work after the holidays, and I decided to get back to basics:

  • Cute Dress
  • Black Tights
  • High-Heels (don’t worry, I changed into snow boots for my commute)

I even decided to throw in a black velvet blazer for good measure!

You know that NYC has been struck by a major storm when the subways are down for not 1, but 2 days in some areas.  A lot of areas with heavy pedestrian traffic also remained unplowed.  I won’t even begin to describe how ridiculous I looked while teetering my way onto the snow in 3-inch heels to take these photos.  Ahhh… the things I do for fashion.

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!
