Shortly after taking these pics early last week, I thought I’d soon be able to put away my winter gear and bring out my springtime frocks…

NOT SO FAST!

Since then the temps have plummeted, and we’ve had snow, sleet and hail dumped on us.  Today I’m back in my parka, and it’s starting to feel like spring will never actually come.

Closet Confection: The Paper Doll Project

Getting dressed this morning was waaaayyyy easier than usual.  “Why’s that?” you ask.  Well, it’s because I took part in The Paper Doll Project, hosted by the lovely Suze of Miss Vinyl Ahoy.  Rather than scramble around trying to figure out what to wear before work, I had a fellow fashion blogger act as my own personal stylist for the day and put together an entire outfit based around my beloved polka dot blouse.

THANKS SO MUCH TYESHA!

I think she did a wonderful job capturing my personal style.  Be sure to check out Tyesha’s blog at Diary of a Chic Mommy to see the ensemble that I put together for her in return.

Closet Confection: Are We There Yet?

2011_0301_outfit2

When: Saturday, February 26th, 2011

Where: Here and There

What: Blouse (Heritage 1981), skirt (Gap), tights (DKNY via Filene’s Basement), shoes (BCBG via Loehmann’s), handbag (vintage Bally via eBay), necklaces (Forever 21), sunglasses (Forever 21), bracelets (Amrita Singh via Hautelook)

Jeeze, it feels like I haven’t posted in ages!  In my defense, I was battling a nasty case of food poisoning that I’m just now getting over.  Trust me, it wasn’t a pretty sight.  Those Andouille Corn Dogs from Peels seemed like a good at the time. But in retrospect, I probably should’ve skipped them.

I also should have trusted my instincts when I saw the “B” sanitation grading on the front window of the restaurant.  Oh well, lesson learned.
