Wardrobe Remix for 09.05.09

09.05.09

maroon merino shrug - knit myself
grey t-shirt - can't remember...Kohl's I think
tassel necklace - made myself, charm from Chicago Antique Market
black skinny jeans - Old Navy
tan leather flats - thrifted


I'm trying to invest in really good pieces, as these jeans are a bit stretched out since a. I have lost weight and b. they were cheap. I like wearing basics to work and sprucing it up with little details, such as the shrug and necklace.

Etsy post later today, I only have a few more items to list. But the store is here if you want to take a premature sneak peek. Let me know how the layout/pictures look to you, will you?

Wardrobe Remix for 09.04.09

09.04.09

sailor-collar blouse with sailboats - thrifted
sailor shorts - Plato's Closet
black flats - Target


In a sailor mood today since it's warm and I got my sailor dress altered from Whitney today, hooray! I was thinking of wearing it today but may save it for next weekend when the boy visits. Also it's red and I just redyed my hair last night so it's very vibrant today.

I took some etsy photos earlier, going to put the listings up tonight and I'll post again when they are up. A lot of cute dresses and some other things.

Things I Love Thursday - 09.03.09



western heels - What looks stylish, gives you a lift, yet makes the boots extra comfortable? Western heels. Whether it's on a pair of stylish new ankle boots or tried and true cowboy boots, male or female, I love them. These leather booties are from Blowfish, so they are very comfortable with not only the heels but the padded inside. I just bought these and am so excited to wear them. I have seen other shoes from this line with a similar heel as well, including pumps.

Real Simple - This magazine has everything- home decor, organization, money saving tips, recipes, health, fashion, beauty, etc. The images are gorgeous, filled with natural light. Not classist or ageist, it has something for every woman (and man, too, come to think of it). Browse some articles online at realsimple.com

clock hand jewelry - There are tons of these on etsy, both ready made and supplies. I bought some hands myself and made some extra long earrings:



designer jeans - Lately I've been obsessed in purchasing things that are worth the extra money, like a really really good pair of jeans. I've been checking out Gap's 1969 Premium Jeans, has anyone worn them?

solid black tights - Can't go wrong with these babies. I have a drawer full of tights every color and pattern, but I always pull out my opaque black stockings. They're just so perfect.

Wardrobe Remix for 09.03.09

This is my Latin Mama/summer-to-fall inspired outfit.

09.03.09

gold leaf earrings - Claire's
red satin top - thrifted (I think this is my favourite shirt)
white and gold belt - thrifted
skinny jeans - Charlotte Russe
gold sandals - Target

The tragedy about this shirt is it's thrifted, and a lingerie shirt, and I cannot find another shirt like it ANYWHERE. This is a shirt I would want in a million colors. I love the floral detailing at the collar, the length, the fact it is fitted and loose in all the right places...ack. It's perfection. If you see another shirt even close to this anywhere, please let me know!

Things I Hate Tuesday - 09.01.09

Happy September, everyone! I'm beginning the third month of updating this blog. I'm not sure what my readership is but I am updating a lot more than I was at this blog's conception so I'm hoping it's interesting enough for blogland.

Let's get to the hate!



the fact that shapeless sack dresses are still in - Sorry H&M free magazine, I don't buy the fact that tailored pieces are in this season, or the last 3 seasons you've said such things. The fact that stores are still stocking what is essentially a garbage bag for expectant mothers and women are buying them (They must be! Why else would they be around this long?) leads me to wonder why women buy unflattering clothes. If you have read TIHT for a while you know that most of the clothes I hate are just plain unflattering. I love interesting drapes and outfits that are part loose and part structured, but haphazard messes? No thanks, and women should say the same thing.

Urban Outfitter Bikes - Yes, you heard correctly. Ugh. Finally UO is combining the annoyingness of their hipster shoppers and the annoyingness of hipster bikers. It's a match made in heaven.



American Apparel's "Afrika" prints - The print being ugly is secondary to the fact that white people are paying so much money to wear them.
