Snowmageddon

We here in the Cincinnati area are still digging out from 8-10 inches of snow
within the last 24 hours. While we haven't seen snow accumulation on the same level as some Mid-Atlantic cities (i.e. DC), this is enough to bring our city to a virtual standstill. Thanks Mother Nature, we have had enough snow, please send spring soon!

The outfit:
Turtleneck - The GAP
Dress - Ann Taylor Loft
Belt - The Limited
Argyle tights - Target
Brown booties - No. 704 b (via DSW) I love these!!

Of course, I changed into my knee-high, sherpa lined Emu boots to navigate through the snow.

Studded

This outfit doesn't work for me, but it was getting too late for me to change. I can't pinpoint specifically what doesn't work (skirt makes me look hippy, patterned, shirt, no tights), I just know I won't be repeating this look again. This just goes to show all of those who follow "fashion" blogs, we don't always get it right. Sometimes concepts in our heads don't translate well in reality. Weren't not all perfect, right?

I do like my new jacket and the boots. I went shopping with my mother-in-law over the weekend to help her build a work wardrobe (she has a new job, yah!) and found this faux-leather jacket for a steal - $23.00. Prepare yourselves now, you will be seeing this alot!

The outfit:
Jacket - Macy's
Zebra print shirt - New York & Company
Skirt - Target
Boots - Shoedazzle (February 2010)
Necklace - Lia Sophia

National Wear Red

Today is National Wear Red day, a day to raise and build awareness for heart disease in women. I try to do my part every year by competing in the Heart Mini Marathon (March 2010) and wearing red on this day. Instead of wearing all-over red, I limited the color to my accessories. You can't tell in the picture, but I am also wearing my AHA red dress pin (fold of the turtleneck).

The outfit:
Jacket - INC
Turtleneck - The Limited
Belt and red flower ring - Charlotte Russe
Skirt and leggings - Kohl's
Boots - Target

Troop Leader

I feel like a Girl Scout Troop Leader in this outfit. Despite looking like I want to sell you some cookies, I was happy with the look (I wish the skirt was a smidge longer). The outfit: Cowl-neck top and dress - Target, Belt - New York & Company, Boots - Rampage, Brooch - Dillard's, Glasses - Oakley

Skinnies to work

Since I knew I had to be in clinic for a short time today, the legs needed to be covered. However, I seemed to forget about the dress code when selecting my footwear. Oh well, I can't be expected to follow all of the rules (especially when they are not empirically based).

The outfit:
Corduroy jacket - Ann Taylor Loft
Belt - from a skirt or dress
Patterned silk top - Banana Republic
Corduroy skinnies - New York & Company
Studded heels - Nicole Miller
Necklace - gifted

Blue Suede Shoes

I love these shoes, but the hidden platform and the high heel make them difficult to walk in (especially when the ground is slick). I generally save them for days when I know I will be mostly in my office. I only had one meeting today and it was in my building, so I used these shoes to add a "pop" of color to this outfit.

The outfit:

Blouse and belt - New York & Company

Cami - Kohl's


Skirt - The Limited


Tights - ?? (Target maybe?)


Heels - shoedazzle.com

Sgt. Pepper


While Rob was taking my picture this morning (still have to set up my new tripod from Santa) he said, "you know what you have to title this post...Sgt. Pepper". I found this jacket at Macy's after Christmas. I had a dress and a pair of leggings in my hand when I spotted to oversize gold buttons on this jacket. When I found my size, I had to purchase it. As an added bonus, it was on sale and I had a gift card. Woo hoo!
The outfit:
Jacket - INC
Watercolor mock turtleneck - Kenneth Cole
Skirt - Ann Taylor Loft
Argyle tights and boots - Target
