Shop Update (Part 1 of 2 this week)

A shop update finally! And I have more to add tomorrow so check back. In the meantime, here's a link to my shop and please let me know what you think of my new banner!

Wardrobe Remix for 11.08.09

pink blouse - thrifted
navy elastic waist skirt - Marshall's
taupe oxfords - Aldo

I was wrong about the last nice day in Chicago, luckily. Look at this, no sleeves or tights! And I was warm the entire time, even after sunset. Lucky me. This also makes me regret not wearing a pair of keds all summer. Next year!

Wardrobe Remix for 11.07.09

vintage collar - eBay
red cotton shift dress - thrifted
black stockings - H&M
black patent leather t-straps - gifted


This outfit was inspired by the following image I spotted at Darling Darling's blog:



I don't know where it's from but I have been waiting to use this vintage collar I posted about a couple entries back and was getting dismayed at my lack of solid dresses. When I saw this last night I remembered I have 2 solid red dresses! Silly me for forgetting.

I should like to start making a folder on my computer for outfit inspirations, and I'm really bad at favouriting my the wardrobe_remix looks I like (all my faves are cute cats, ha!).

Wardrobe Remix for 11.04.09

long sleeve brown tee - Old Navy
grey sack dress - H&M
white and gold belt - thrifted
ivory wool stockings - TJ Maxx
chocolate brown boots - Old Navy


Hair is huge today! My messy long bangs are growing on me, though. It gives me back a bit of the only thing I miss about losing weight - my young round moon face. Also, whoever said red hair is the ultimate accessory is right! I feel so brash with such vivid hair I feel I need to wear neutrals so often. I wanted to wear my new stompy grunge boots today but I figured a sleeker pair works better for this outfit. I also like to hide my legs more when wearing such light stockings. One of my new fave bloggers, Mamushka Marie, said it all in this post of hers and it's a trend I always waver back and forth from myself while other ladies don them so gracefully.
