What I Wore:

When:

March 15, 2008

What:

Hat: gift of Katie the Milliner Scarf: self made with some remnant fabric Sweater: Betsey Johnson Belt: vintage, thrifted Dress (as skirt): Plenty by Tracy Reese Tights: We Love Colors Shoes: Clarks

Where:

Brunch with m’ladies in the East Village, thrifting afterwards

Why:

March is said to come in like a lion, but today was much more lamb. The early spring months are the hardest for me to get dressed. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the high is 52 degrees. While it does feel warm in contrast to the sub-freezing temps, lets be real people, its still not sunny and 70.  But today was just a day I felt like being more spring than winter.  So I mix elements of both.  I started with a summery Plenty by Tracy Reese dress. Bare legs/arms still aren’t gonna cut it for me so that means tights and a sweater. The hat is a great thing to throw on when you’re a bit chilly and pop off when you’re a tad too warm. And I’m obsessed with scarves, so instead of something warm and fuzzy, I put on this huge scrap of fabric that I hemmed around the edges. I also love belts for sort of being the bow on a present- wraps the whole look up. These shoes (Artisans by Clarks) feel vintagey to me, but are insanely comfortable to walk (and run!) in. Not pictured is my latest spring buy- a thrifted, vintage trench (which always look effortless and chic).

When:

March 18, 2008

What:

Top: Anthropologie Cardigan: family heirloom Necklace: F21 Jeans: Zara Boots: vintage, thrifted

Where:

Another day at the office

Why:

I am intent on willing spring into existence! I am also absolutely against wearing any heavy wool skirts, pants or sweaters anymore.  So out comes my summer collection.  Tights, cardigans and layers are my segue into warmer weather.

When:

May 9, 2008

What:

Blouse: vintage, thrifted Belt: thrifted Jeans: thrifted (Acne) Flats: Target

Where:

Work!!

Why:

I am so boring. Did not want to get dressed today. Love this shirt and is a fall back. Repeating old outfits. Rain = little effort. Always good to have some outfits that work without having to do much thinking. When I was younger, I had my closet organized into “M-T-W-T-F” and I would just pick out everything for the week.  That would be a great idea to start back up again.
