Daily Outfit: Trendy and Loving It

Normally, I tend to shy away from trends.  I usually prefer classic styles, and trends come and go so quickly, that it seems pointless to spend too much time worrying about them.  However, sometimes a certain trend will really resonate with me.  When that happens, I will wear, even after it’s gone out of fashion.

Daily Outfit: Professional

Yes, uber original title, I know.  I wore this outfit when there was a big principal’s meeting at the school I work at.  It was hosted in the media center, so I wanted a polished, professional appearance.

I think this black and white blouse is quickly becoming one of my favorite thrifting finds.  The material is [...]

Daily Outfit: Social No-no’s

Inspired by Kimberly’s Inspiration Calendar, I decided to try a color combo that I’ve never ventured into before: navy, black and brown.  I usually shy away from all-neutral combos, because I really love color.  But I still found this a fun experiment.

The funny thing is, the entire day, I kept thinking about a character I [...]

Daily Outfit: 85 Degrees

Anyone want to send some cold weather down to Florida?  There’s so many fall looks that I’m itching to wear, but ever since our one cold spat, it’s been in the eighties most days.  So I’ve decided that if the fall weather won’t come to us, then I’ll make fall looks work for warm weather.

Today’s [...]

Daily Outfit: Mad Men

I’m not sure how I managed to take so few photos of this outfit, because I absolutely loved it.  I felt kind like a secretary on Mad Men all day, although this outfit still pales in comparison with Joan Holloway.  I just recently got this skirt altered.  The fit just wasn’t right before. I got [...]

Daily Outfit: In the Navy?

I’ll be completely honest in saying that this outfit didn’t exactly wow me.  I like the magenta and navy color combo, but I’m just not sure about how the whole outfit came together.  Maybe it would have looked better with a magenta skinny belt?  Or with a skirt instead of grey pants? (Which are looking [...]

Daily Outfit: Bang, bang, bang

Notice a difference in the hair?  I love, love, love how these bangs turned out.  I really wanted bangs similar to Zooey Deschanel’s, but with short hair instead of long hair.  I love how the bangs are sweet without being too childish.  And once again, they make for awesome headband opportunities.

I actually had the image [...]

Daily Outfit: Notice a Theme?

Lately, I am absolutely in love with the color combo of red, black and white, sometimes with a touch of grey.  In the past few weeks I’ve worn variations of this combo here, here, and then again with today’s outfit.  It’s such a classic.

This combo was perfect for work.  It’s pretty comfortable but still professional. [...]

Daily Outfit: Secondhand Chic

I love it when outfits end up being almost entirely second-hand and still chic.  That’s what happened with this outfit.

Basically everything in this outfit except the shoes and watch is thrifted, vintage or secondhand.  It uses my new favorite color palette of black, white and red, with a nice touch of navy.  I think this [...]

Daily Outfit: Aleita

I don’t know if all knitters are like this, but whenever I finish a new project, I feel an immediate compulsion to wear it, no matter what the season.  Luckily, things timed well with this vest, because we had a cool front (temps in the mid-60’s to high-70’s) and the vest is made of linen/cotton, [...]
