Closet Confection: Take Five!

2010_1111_outfit1

When: Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Where: Work + The Green Table @ Chelsea Market

What: Jacket (French Connection), sweater (Tommy Hilfiger), polka dot blouse (H&M), skirt (Banana Republic), tights (Urban Outfitters), shoes (Via Spiga)

Is anyone else bummed because they didn’t get Veteran’s Day off yesterday?

To cheer myself up for having to drag myself out of bed and into the office, I decided to wear a bright pink sweater.  And of course, the outfit wouldn’t have been complete without polka dots… and a big ‘ol floppy bow… and my favorite colorful tweed jacket.

Since Eric had the day off (lucky duck!), I guilted him into meeting me after work to help take my outfit photos.

He was a trooper about it.  But in exchange, I had to bribe him with NYC’s most delicious brownies from Fat Witch Bakery.  YUM!

Closet Confection: It Takes Two To Make It Outta Sight

2010_1108_outfit3

When: Monday, November 8th, 2010

Where: Work

What: Coat (Miss Sixty via Burlington Coat Factory), hat (Forever 21), shirt ($10 vintage and thrifted), dress ($20 Ben Sherman via Daffy’s), belt (???), tights ($6 Emilio Cavalli via Daffy’s), shoes ($50 Vince Camuto via Loehmann’s)

I’m only two days in and this 30 for 30 remix is already starting to have its perks.

As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve become way more obsessive over accessories… to the point where I’ve laid out my entire work wardrobe for the rest of the week all the way down to the earrings.

And because I love making lists, I of course have this all typed out in a tidy little excel spreadsheet.

It’s a sickness, don’t even try and help me.

In any case, my propensity toward excel spreadsheets helped me out immensely this morning as I was getting ready for work.  The daylight savings time switcheroo completely screwed with the alarm clock setting on my iPhone, leaving me with, horror of horrors, only 15 minutes to get ready for work this morning. Eek!

Luckily, I was able to pull together a well thought-out ensemble in no time at all by consulting my handy little list.

In other fashion news, I’ll let you guys in on a little secret…

I purchased this shirt in the little boys’ section of one of my favorite vintage thrift stores.  Since I consider myself to be a curvy gal, shopping in the kids’ section never really occured to me until I stumbled upon this shirt. I didn’t even realize it was a boy’s shirt until I went to try it on and noticed the buttons were on the wrong side and there were collar stays still left in.

My husband had to explain to me what collar stays were.  And after he did, I was all kinds of jealous.  Why don’t women’s shirts come with collar stays?  Why do we have to be the ones stuck with floppy, droppy collars?

I’m just sayin’…

And lest I forget, I couldn’t possibly give this post the above title without dropping a funky track.  With that being said…

One, Two, Three… Hit It!

Closet Confection: When It Rains, It Pours

2010_1104_outfit3

When: Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Where: Work

What: Jacket ($60 French Connection via Loehmann’s), dress ($50 Marc Jacobs via Century 21), boots ($100 Givenchy via eBay), umbrella (Missoni via Century 21)

So this post is a little out of order (I’m doing Wednesday’s outfit tomorrow), but it finally rained hard enough for me to show off my new rain boots, and I just couldn’t wait until tomorrow to share.

A friend of mine got them last year, and I’ve been coveting them ever since. Unfortunately, they were sold out everywhere at the time.  Being the determined ebay ninja that I am, I finally spotted a pair in my size (at a significant discount), and the rest is history!

I love them so much that I want to make a movie about them…

However, I’d probably be the only one in the audience.  Kind of like that time I saw Cable Guy…
