Resolution

My penchant for creative outfits is slowing down a bit.  I think it's the weather, it's confused.  I realized that I don't repeat many of my tops here.  It's not that I don't re-wear tops, I just don't seem to like what I'm wearing when I do.  I suppose that should be one of my resolutions?

You can stand under my umbrella

I've been debating whether or not to include pictures of my head on this blog.  I started this blog for myself and never intended to share with anyone.  Not that I was super secretive or anything, I just don't think any of the pics are blog-worthy and only served to create motivation for myself to get dressed.

I wore to run errands today. Those are jeggings, they're made of lightweight denim with an elastic waist, so I'm not sure they're really jeggings, maybe faux jeggings? I love them because elastic waists are a must after New Years partying creeps up around your midsection. The flats are canvas oxfords from LA's Chinatown.

Happy 2012!

Despite all my efforts to wear something from the closet for NYE, I wound up buying all new things.  I should add that I bought them all one or two days before NYE.

I'm really proud of this outfit, $20 for the blazer, $18 for the dress and $17 for the shoes. Yay!

A little bit goes a long way.

My sister and I were really prolific shoppers at one point.  We may have been trained by our aunts at an early age.  While I admit my shopping prowess has steadily declined in recent years, my sister is still sharp as ever. Here's one of her recent finds at Macys.  She said it was a blog-worthy post, so I obliged.  She found a $348 Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket for less than $65. 

 

Is this Bohemian Rhapsody?

Here's one of my deal finds. The original MSRP for this Jessica Simpson dress is $79. We found it on deep clearance for $5.99. Using another coupon we had, the price came down to $4.99.  It's a little more bohunk than me so I tried to tone it down.

I'm thinking of wearing this to my office's Christmas Holiday party.  They're not going to know I wore this outfit twice this week.

Cardigan: Express

Dress: Macys

Belt: Charlotte Russe

Tights: Gap

Shoes: Nordstrom

I bought these tights almost two years ago during my minimoon.  Maybe I was coming off of the adrenaline because as much as I like the color and pattern, I don't think I would buy these now.

Talk about being inconspicuous

This is the most consistent posting schedule evaaar! Anyhoot, I had an interview scheduled for this morning and had to rush off to work afterwards.  I tried to be wardrobe-efficient and just changed my pants before work.  Here's what I came up with.  Imagine black trouser pants for the interview (I was too busy being nervous to take pictures of my interview outfit) this morning.

Blazer: Marshalls

Shoes: Report

Urban Safari

This was something casual I threw together.  I didn't do a particularly good job of putting it together, but it was comfortable.  I think it looked way better in person than it does in the picture.  I really wish I bought more of these pants, I only have olive green and black.  Boohoo.

The only man is snoring...

I played around with lighting before I took this picture today.  Look's much better, right?  This wasn't a particularly fun outfit.  It was rainy and ugly outside, so I had to find something to match the weather my comfort level.  I wore my pony rain boots from Target, but I was too lazy to lug them to my picture spot.  They're cute, I promise.  Pinky Square!

*Edit- Here's a pic of my boots.  Cute, right? I told you!
