Closet Confection: The Day After Tomorrow

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: Snow Day

When: Monday, December 27th, 2010

Where: Working from home during a major snowstorm!

What: Sweater (Vintage store in San Francisco), leggings (Wolford + Uniqlo… yeah, I’m layering), boots (Coach, also available here), gloves (Ugg Australia via Century 21), hat (H&M), sunglasses (Marc Jacobs via Nordstrom’s Rack), scarf (self-made), coat (Kenneth Cole via Macy’s, similar here)

Here at Closet Confections, we take our winter gear very seriously…

Ok, not so much. But I do appreciate staying warm and cozy when it’s F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G outside.

My husband made fun of me incessantly when I first bought this hat. He told me I looked like Don King, but he was soon eating those words when we got slammed by a blizzard. Perhaps I did look like I had stuck a fork in an electrical socket, but at least I was warm.

To make it up to me, he let me borrow the scarf that I knit him for Christmas. He’s really sweet like that.

Here’s me decked out in all my glory. This was my first time taking my new snow boots out for a spin, and I have to say that I was pretty impressed. They provide the warmth and comfort of Uggs (yes, I admit that I am a fashion blogger who wears Uggs), but they’re also waterproof.

I really wanted to make a snowman to pose with, but the wind was really gusty and snow was blowing everywhere. So as soon as we got enough good shots, I rushed back inside for hot cocoa.

Closet Confection: Yo, Taxi!

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.
