Where: Out and about
What: Plaid ruffled blouse (Banana Rapublic), navy skirt (Gap), braided belt (hand-me-down), navy tights (Pay-Half), peep-toe ankle boots (Vince Camuto via Loehmann’s)
3 weeks into the challenge, and I’m just now getting around to two items that I haven’t worn yet…
How the heck did that happen?!
When: Sunday, February 13th, 2011
Where: Who knows?
What: Sweater dress (RL Rugby thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), tights (Wolford), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), necklace (H&M)
Wooohoo, this entire outfit was thrifted… except for the necklace… and the tights. Come to think of it, thrifted tights would be kinda gross. Geez, the more I type, the less impressive this is sounding.
In all fairness, the sweater and boots were actually better than thrifted. They were kinda free since I traded in some other items at Beacon’s Closet and used my store credits for new merchandise in lieu of cash. Ok, I think I just redeemed myself.
In other news, my attempts to get a little more creative with my outfit posts has caused me to lag a little behind in my 30 for 30 postings. Yikes! Time to play catch up.
When: Friday, February 11th, 2011
Where: Blogger Dinner @ BONDST
What: Blouse/Cape thingy (Topshop), tunic ($8 H&M), leggings (Forever 21), boots (thrifted via Beacon’s Closet), coat (Benedetta Novi via Daffy’s)
Last Friday, I had the wonderful pleasure of having dinner with the following bloganistas:
In addition to being super-sweet, each of these ladies run slammin’ blogs. So be sure to check ’em out!
During the course of the evening, we laughed, we talked, we drank, and we ate. I was kinda bummed all week over not being able to attend any of the fashion blogger conferences and events because of work, but living vicariously through some of the ladies who were able to attend helped make up for it.
I have no shame in admitting that I obsess over what I’m going to wear any time I know I’ll be seeing other fashion bloggers. And this outing was particularly challenging since I had to work within the confines of the 30 for 30 challenge. After a long work week, I decided to just go for a comfy, casual look.
And since it was FRRRREEEEZING (per usual here in NYC these days), I jumped at the chance to wear my warmest winter coat.
I think I achieved the fashionista’s wintertime trifecta with this getup: warmth, coziness, and style… SCORE!
