“Snuggles right down underneath the bedclothes”

This outfit came together quite nicely.  I was still feeling a bit run-down from my cold, so this outfit became all about warmth and comfort.  I wanted soft, comfortable fabrics all around.  Physically, all I felt like wearing were pajamas pants and a cozy hoodie, but that won’t exactly fly at work.  Combining leggings with [...]

“Drank a glass of hot tea with lemon”

Yes, I realize that this is a painfully dorky picture.  But can you see what I’m pointing at?  I could believe my eyes. Ice.  In Florida.  At noon.  OMG.  I’ve never seen an icile in Florida before, so I was so incredibly excited when I saw this in a parking garage on campus, that I [...]

“At least try to act cool”

This beautiful Boden sweater vest was one of the last items I purchased during my recent shopping ban.  And I adore it.  More and more I am falling in love with Boden and their beautiful, colorful clothes.  But they’re so expensive that they’re often out of my price range.  However, I’ve found that buying them [...]

“But my feet are tapping”

I’m trying to catch up the last few outfits of 2009, so instead of a category-style post today (shopping ban, wardrobe inventory, etc), you get an outfit post!  Next week, I’ll be reflecting on my shopping ban, as well as discussing possibilities for the new year. I really, really love cold weather layering.  I feel [...]

“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 [...]

“A Cheerful Hello, A Nice Smile”

I currently work two part time jobs, and one of them is filling in as a substitute media specialist (school librarian).  Being a substitute, means that you have to make frequent first impressions.  This is what I wore for one of those days last week.  I was originally going to wear plain black shoes, but [...]

Daily Outfit: Bright and Colorful

There was an image in Lucky magazine a few months ago of a young Catherine Devenue wearing mary jane flats, a classic trench coat and a headband.  The only aspects of that outfit here are the flats and the headband, yet somehow, I felt like I was channeling the sweetness of that image.  Just in [...]

Daily Outfit: Because We All Have Off-Days

I think it’s something about the high humidity, the constant rainy weather, and the stress of not having a definite job lined up yet for next month.  Yesterday, I just really wanted to stay home, read in bed all day, and eat soup.  But I had to go to work and I had to be [...]
