Back by popular demand… my closet!

Dress: Thrift.  Belt: Beatnix.  Shoes: Nine West.

With 96% voting yes, it was definitely time for a closet revisit.  So - as promised… an update to my closet!  Not a lot of changes, but hopefully you’ll enjoy the “up close and personal” review!

My closet is located right off the side of our master bedroom.  My boyfriend’s closet is in the spare bedroom…

And yes, though I wish it was bigger (much envy for Sex & the City closets), it is one of my favorites places in my home.  My boyfriend lovingly put up several of the fabulous racks (yes, the original racks collapsed with all my clothes when we first moved in…), so it reminds me of him as well  :)

Some of my inspiration pics as mentioned in video:

Closet Post 2

Over the hill – 1010 posts and counting!

Skirt: Body by Victoria.  Gathered Mock Turtleneck: Style & Co.  Short Sleeve Blazer: Forever XXI.  Tights: DSW.  Shoes: Marc Fisher.  Necklace: Macy’s.

I can’t believe it – 1010 posts!  I never thought when I started a random little fashion blog to share my daily ensemble choices that it would become a part of my life for the next several years, but nevertheless, here it is!

I decided to count back in hundreds and visit some blasts from the past.  I’d also like to look back and find some of my favorite outfits.  Next week…  :)

 

Thank you

Blue Dress: Banana Republic.  Casual Blazer: DKNY.  Necklace: Macy’s.  Shoes: Nine West.  Bag: Betsy Johnson.

I’m always so inspired and appreciative of my fellow fashion bloggers, but so often I forget to acknowledge your fabulousness!  Today, I thank all my lovlies out there and say keep doing what you’re doing!  My outfit today was inspired by a recent look of Kasmira’s from What I Wore Today. 

 

This is my second noted inspiration from Kasmira, but I’m sure there have been others I’ve just forgotten!

 

Vest Options (part 2)

Back in 2008, I did a post on my Antonio Melan vest and some various ways I’ve worn it.  It is clearly time for an update!

1 easy way to wear a vest for work and/or happy hour dining with friends, is to layer it over a pretty blouse or dress.  Adding bright color accents is also a great way to add interest and “that special something” to a look.

If you’re looking for something a little different, try a trendy fur or zip up vest.  Another option is to search for a vintage “old man” vest.

Basic black and white is always classic and chic.

For a funky mix to weekend looks, add a vest with leggings or jeans and a tee.

 

Color love!  Professional or going out, a colored vest is a great layering option and also adds some good warmth.
