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!

I even had a set of Supergirl pajamas that came with a detachable velcro cape.

As I got older, my goals became less lofty and more practical.  And while I pride myself on being a “responsible grown-up”, sometimes I miss the good old days.

It was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS this weekend! 

A girl could get spoiled by not having to wear a jacket in the middle of November!

I was originally planning to wear this dress later on in the 30 for 30 challenge, but I was inspired to wear it earlier because…

It’s made by one of my favorite designers, Walter Baker, AND…

I was recently invited to his showroom (where I got to meet Walter in person) to do an early preview of his newest collection! 

2010_1113_outfit3

I’ve only been blogging since April, and I’ve never been to a designer’s showroom before.  So needless to say, I was beyond excited to receive the invitation but also totally clueless about what to expect. I decided to go with my best interpretation of how a young fashion editor would dress (see last Thursday’s ensemble) and take copious notes and lots of pictures.

Stay tuned, my lovelies, for a full rundown on Walter’s latest collection by yours truly!
