“Smart people are those who have asked lots of questions”

In my high school days, I was drawn to preppy styles.  I liked button-down shirts and polos, even though a majority of my wardrobe was jeans and t-shirts.  I’m not that into the prep-school look anymore, but on occasion, I like to take cues from it.  When I saw this lovely striped cashmere sweater on [...]

“They stretched their wings”

Drapey fabrics and windy days don’t really make the best combination.  But I still love how this outfit came together, despite it not being very functional in this weather.  I got this skirt months ago during my shopping ban, but somehow this is the first time I’ve worn it out.  I has such a sweet [...]

“A Sunny, Sweet Smile”

Oh how I love Ebay!  I’ve been longing to own some J. Crew cashmere pretty much since I became aware of its existence, but their sweaters tend to retail at $150 plus a pop, so they’ve been out of my graduate and now post-graduate-still-searching-for-a-permanent-job budget.  But it didn’t dawn on me until recently to simply [...]

“Everyone had to stay indoors”

In winter, it’s so easy for the daylight to get away from you.   I didn’t have time to take photos on my lunch break this day, and I went to IKEA after work, so by the time I got home, it was dark.  But, at least it gives me an excuse to show off my [...]

“There was a perfect outfit for every minute of the day”

When ridiculously cold weather hits Florida, I go for lots and lots of layers.  Flexibility is key.  My house stays chilly at 64 degrees, outside it’s in the 40′s, and in my office the heater is keeping it in the 70s.  Having to be in so many temperatures throughout the day, I need an outfit [...]

“We’d like some electric blankets”

Yes, I wore this cardigan two days in a row.  I realize some may scoff at the idea, but everything else in the outfit was different, and I only own so many woolen sweaters.  It was chilly, and I needed me some merino.  In my mind, most style rules should be ignored anyway. Yesterday, you [...]

“When the weather gets cold”

There are so many fun trends in the style blogging community that I feel like I miss out on because of the balmy climate of Florida.  So when we actually get days below 50 degrees, I take full advantage.  Thus, this entire outfit was built around the premise of layering two pairs of tights. This [...]

“Where the wild wind whirled”

It’s a new year, but I’m still working on wrapping up outfits from 2009.  After these are done, I’m going to try to keep my outfit posts a little closer to when I actually wear the outfit.  Also, thanks to your suggestions on my quick reader survey, I’m tweaking my posts a bit.  Monday through [...]
