Closet Confection: Twelfth Night

2010_1118_outfit1

When: Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Where: Work

What: Sweater (Rugby, similar here), skirt ($36 Gap w/ 40% off coupon), shoes (Vince Camuto via Loehmann’s), bracelet (Gap), watch (Croton via Loehmann’s)

So, I think I may have boxed myself into a corner with these clever (hopefully) numerical post titles and cute (at least I think so) poses with the numbers…

I’m kinda runnin’ outta of ideas.

It turns out there are lots of clever sayings and catchy song lyrics for numbers 1-10, but it starts getting tricky after that.  For instance, what’s really special about 14, 19 or 22?

I got nothin’.

Also, this particular photo shoot ended with me turning to my husband and saying, “Oh crap, what should I do with the number this time?”

I guess that’s what I get for setting the bar so high for myself.

Writer’s block aside, there are some definite perks to this challenge.  Namely that I get to wear some of my favorite pieces over and over again.

This skirt is quickly becoming one of those favorites. In addition to being absolutely gorgeous, it’s just so versatile. I have several additional outfits planned around it using other items in my roundup, and I’m having a hard time choosing between them. My plan was to wear each of my items at least twice during the challenge, but now that I’m almost halfway through, I’m definitely gravitating towards a few key pieces.

What about you guys?  Are you equal opportunity remixers, or do you find yourself just wanting to wear a few of your favorite pieces over and over again during this challenge?

2010_1116_outfit1

When: Tuesday, November 17th, 2010

Where: Work

What: Dress ($40 H&M), rain jacket ($55 Michael Kors via eBay), sequin beret (H&M), belt (H&M), tights (Trina Turk for Hue), shoes (Via Spiga)

Hey Gang!

I’ve got good news and bad news…

2010_1116_outfit3

The good news is that I made it 1/10 of the way through the 30 for 30 challenge.

The bad news is that I’m officially calling it quits.  I’m getting bored with these clothes, and I want to wear something new.  Besides, there are just too many holiday parties (and holiday sales) coming up, and I feel deprived.

JUST KIDDING!

What?  You didn’t think I was a quitter did you?  A loser, maybe (especially at sports or other activities that require hand-eye coordination), but never a quitter.

Hey, I was the kid who squeaked by with a passing grade in her elementary school gym class simply by dangling at the end of the rope and hanging on for dear life because she knew there was no chance in heck that she’d be able to pull herself all the way to the top.

What can I say, I have the tenacity of a bulldog and the upper body strength of a… Well, I can’t think of any animals with weak upper body strength, but you get the picture.

So yes.  I’m am forging on with the challenge and will emerge victorious!

Closet Confection: Love Potion No. 9

2010_1116_outfit1

When: Monday, November 15th, 2010

Where: The office

What: Sweater (H&M years ago), skirt (Banana Republic), tights (Emilio Cavallini), shoes (Via Spiga), belt (Oscar de la Renta)

After meticulously pre-ironing and laying out all of my outfits last week (down to the last earring), I decided to allow my outfits come together more organically this week…

In other words, I was too lazy to plan everything out over the weekend!

And of course, I was rushing around like a madwoman trying to leave the house on time Monday morning, only to realize once I got to the office that my 8:30am meeting had been rescheduled.

Oh well, such is life.

On another note, I’ve reached an exciting point in the challenge where I’ve actually started repeating items. As you may have noticed, I wore this skirt last week. I doubt anyone at my office noticed since it’s just a simple black skirt, but I am feeling a little anxious about wearing my vintage plaid shirt again tomorrow.
