I have a serious weakness for patent leather maryjanes, so it was a no-brainer when I found these beauties on the clearance rack.  The white captoe adds a bit of fun, and I can’t wait to wear the heck out of them.  They’re very lady-like, and the sturdy heel makes them comfy as well.  If black-and-white isn’t your thing, you can also find them in other fun colors (including “omg-oxblood”… aka burgundy) here.

Closet Confection: A Case of the Blues

I haven’t been blue at all this holiday season, but I have been extremely tired.  And this was the perfect casual outfit for ripping and running around the city to make last-minute Christmas preparations.  You may have noticed that I become quite fond of vests as of late. Winter has been pretty mild here so far (at least for this Michigander who laughs in the face of anything above 32 degrees), so I’ve been quite comfortable exercising my right to bare arms.

Closet Confection: Grape Stripes

2012_1222_outfit32012_1222_outfit22012_1222_outfit1{Belle Fare Fur Vest  (similar ), Gap Cardigan  (found another one on eBay), Uniqlo Legging Pants, Etienne Aigner Gloves,  Earmuffs via via Century 21 (these also caught my eye), Ralph Lauren Shoes}

I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus since my camera’s been in the shop, but I missed you guys so much that I finally dug up my old point-and-shoot and snapped a few quick pics.  Not too shabby, right?

Believe it or not, my office is still inoperable due to damage sustained during Hurricane Sandy.  Since I’ve been working from home for the past month, I’ve definitely been favoring the more casual pieces in my wardrobe.  I’ll be honest, it’s very tempting to just crawl up on the couch and work in my jammies all day.  But the super cozy combination of legging pants from Uniqlo and this soft cardigan that I’ve had for several years is the next best thing (especially once I swap out the heels for the warmest/comfiest socks ever).
