Closet Confection: Keeping Things Under Wraps

2010_1101_outfit3

When: Monday, November 1st, 2010

Where: Work

What: Coat (Miss Sixty via Burlington Coat Factory), dress (Banana Republic, also seen here), boots (Michael Kors via Loehmann’s), necklace (Jess LC)

This was my first time taking outfit photos of myself using a tripod and remote…

Not too shabby, but I think I look a little stiff.  This is partially because it was FREEZING when I took these photos!  But it’s mostly because I was a little self-conscious about the odd looks I was getting from people walking by.

As a fellow nosy New Yorker, I could understand their mild interest.  For the most part I ignored it, but a part of me wanted to turn around and yell:

Fortunately, my parents raised me with a little more class than that.  So I just smiled and pretended they weren’t there.

There are some pretty cool locations to take photos near my job.  And I’m hoping that my boldness will increase over time so that I can take advantage of them without worrying about strange onlookers.

Closet Confection: Expect the Unexpected

2010_1013_outfit4

When: Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

Where: Work

What: Turtleneck (Uniqlo), skirt ($40 Banana Republic), shoes ($13 Irregular Choice via Daffy’s), belt ($20 Oscar de la Renta via Century 21)

It’s Day 2 of my leopard-themed week, and I have to say that this belt gave me a little more trouble than I thought it would.  It’s funny, because I assumed it would be the easiest item to style. Just throw it on with a black dress and go, right?

Wrong!

Of course when I woke up yesterday morning, I just didn’t feel like wearing all black.  I mean, that would just be too simple for a day when I needed to be out of the house by 6:30am.  So instead, I opted for a bright blue pencil skirt.

And to tie it all together, I just had to make sure there were cute unicorns and flowers on the bottoms of my shoes.

Slightly tamer than my other Irregular Choice heels, but still awesome!

Closet Confection: If At First You Don’t Succeed… Add a Pop of Color!

2010_1012_outfit1

When: Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Where: Work + Dinner @ Bouchon Bakery in the Time Warrner Center

What: Jacket (Kenneth Cole via Century 21), dress (Forever 21), cardigan ($22 Banana Republic), shoes ($40 Jessica Simpson via Filene’s Basement), handbag ($60 Kenneth Cole via Loehmann’s)

I purchased this sweater at Banana Republic a loooong time ago, but I could never figure out a good way to wear it.  It looked a little too blah with jeans. Next, I had high hopes for pairing it with this dress, but that turned into a washed out disaster.  So this sweater sat tucked away in my drawer for over a year…

Then I had an epiphany!

I was approaching this thing all wrong by sticking with a monochromatic color scheme.  What I needed was a pop of color.

And of course a pair of leopard accented heels for good measure.

Now that’s more like it!
