When:
April 10, 2008
What:
Scarf: Ebay Tee: Target Jeans: Joes Sneaks: Converse
Where:
Office, Baseball Game
Why:
Tonight I’m going to watch the Mets with my friends. Nothing kills the baseball mood like a pair of stilletos. I love heels, trust me, but I think they look stupid at sporting events. And I’m allowed to wear Converse to work, so that’s what I’m doing. I started there and worked my way up. Brown denim instead of blue and a crazy printed top with some orange in it. And the pink doesn’t really ring “sports fan” but I’m really not a diehard anyway.

When:
March 25, 2008
What:
Scarf: on the street, Chinatown Dress: Jessica Schroeder Designs (me!) Tights: Betsey Johnson Boots: Vintage, thrifted
Where:
Here, there, everywhere (but mainly to my desk)
Why:
People! I could not get dressed this morning! No inspiration. I only think this look is worthy because I threw in the bright colored, springy scarf. The dress is something I designed, pattern drafted and sewed up. These boots need to make a date with the cobbler asap if they want to see the light of day again. But really, I’m dreaming of sandals and more importantly- sand.
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.
When:
April 22, 2008 Earth Day!
What:
Blouse: F21 Skirt: M.Bibelot’s Etsy Store Shoes: Naturalizer
Where:
Office, Drinks/Dinner at Habana Outpost
Why:
I am a peace loving hippie. I am happy its Earth Day. I felt like this newly acquired skirt has a free loving vibe, so that’s that. And after missing all of that glorious weather last week, I am desperate to show some skin. I love these shoes.

When:
March 28, 2007
What:
Head Scarf: vintage, thrifted Big Scarf: E-bay Sweater and Tee: Gap Jeans: freebees, Buffalo Shoes: Robert’s Shoes (FW, IN( Bracelet: vintage, thrifted
Where:
Work, shopping, extracurriculars?
Why:
Because I went out last night. I need to do a little spring shopping and rearrange my closet. The next month or so is the hardest to pick out the right thing. On one hand, you wake up to the light and songbirds. On the other, its still only 43 degrees out. Dressing for the high temp makes no sense if you are only outside to and from the office (and maybe a mad dash for lunch). So the balance? Layers and bright colors. I’m also keeping my eyes open for some fun printed tops and flowy skirts (thrifting only).
