twenty three: sunny days

The weather has been so pretty, but I spend all of my day inside at a computer. It's tragic. I am making a resolution to enjoy the outdoors this weekend. Even if it's just for an hour.

I forgot to put my shoes back on before going outside to take these pictures. But they were grey flats, in case you were wondering.

twenty-two: is my favorite number!

Ready for some more photoshop silliness? I never got to take a picture of yesterday's outfit, so I kind of did a mash up of other pictures to re-create it:


Looks pretty accurate don't you think?

Ok, it sucks. But it was fun!

22: bright colored soul

I had a bunch of meetings yesterday, but I wanted to be colorful too:

Tweed dress, purple scarf & argyle tights was just the thing to 

be appropriate and not look like everyone else at the meeting. 

 

Layers:

Black tank - Old Navy

Black sweater - Target

Tights - Hue (via Nordstrom Rack)

Dress - Banana Republic

Shoes - Aldo

Scarf - DIY (bottom of a maxi dress)

twenty-one: look what I can do!

I had my mom take my pictures last night so I didn't have to re-create yesterday's outfit today! She's the best. But then I didn't take outfit pictures today. Soooo, I'm back where I started.

Today at work I had training in InDesign, which is the best layout software ever, and I learned a cool trick that you can also do in Photoshop, with the pen tool.

For instance, here's me outside a restaurant in Florence, Italy!


And here's me with sky where my face should be!


And also my outfit, which I thought was kind of boring.

21: sweaters & songs on repeat

This sweater felt so perfect on Sunday, so I wore it again on Monday. With an not yet worn in the remix piece - this skirt. 

It was a casual day at the office, since many people took the day off. I was super productive in the morning and got to sneak away for lunch out with friends. 

I can't stop listening to these two (entirely different) songs:

Skirt - Buffalo Exchange

20: not yet worn

Day 20 and I realized I had some unworn pieces, including this grey sweater:

I was feeling casual, cozy Sunday (it's been so windy & cold and I was up late Saturday), 

but I was meeting a friend for a craft fair, so I want a touch of artsy fun. 

What to know a secret about my scarf and the easy DIY ever? My scarf is actually the bottom of a maxi dress that was used in shortened version for a dance performance. I just couldn't let a good piece of circular fabric is such a fun, bright color go to waste!

Layers:

Black tank top - unknown, swapped

Grey sweater - Nordstrom Rack

Earrings - League of NH Craftsman's Fair

Scarf - see above

Jeans - Grane (via Macy's)

Boots - Etienne Aiger (via Macy's)

Recap Number 2!

Ah, you guys, it's been 21 days! Wanna re-live the last 10 days? I know I do.


Once again, click the picture to see everything bigger.


Today was one of those days when I was inside from dawn til dusk, not a moment to spare to take a picture. I guess I'll have to re-create my outfit tomorrow? Sigh. The life of a blogger is so hard. (Only not really at all.)

19: going out & staying cozy

Saturday night was the kind of cold, windy night that makes you think twice before leaving the warm comfort of home. I pulled out my New England ability to ignore cold weather and had a delightful evening with live music and funny encounters at a local bar. 

 

Layers:

Scarf - gift

White long sleeved sparkle shirt - Talbots (gift)

White tank top - Old Navy

Jeans - Faces (in Northampton)

Shoes - Aldo

twenty: sunday substitution

In my last post I predicted that I would want to wear something not part of my list and have to replace my un-worn khaki pants. Today I found my favorite black Gap t-shirt, which had mysteriously gone missing until this day. And this is why I believe in fate. (Not really. I do. But not because of clothing-related miracles.)

Anyway, the weekend was mostly spent taking all the things out of my parents bedroom to prepare for it to be painted and re-carpeted. THEY HAVE LOTS OF STUFF! My arms are shaking slightly right now from tiredness. And that's why I look kind of like a shlumpy sue today. But I like it. I think I'm a fashionable shlumpy sue. Also you can tell I'm tired from my rambling. OK PICTURES.

Oh, and these pictures are special because my mom took them! Except for the one I obviously took.

18: fast photos

I took these photos really quickly so I could change from casual work day to Friday night dinner & ice skating. This outfit turned out great & just as I pictured it: 

My feet didn't make it into any of the outfit pictures, so I took a picture of my pretty toes in my favorite heels:

It's Sunday evening & that's really all I have to say...

Layers:

Shirt - Victoria's Secret

Grey tank top - unknown

Jeans - Faces (Northampton)

Belt - gift from a gallery store

Shoes - Aldo

Necklace - Modcloth
