OUTLOOK: POSITIVE
September 24th, 2009 - 37 Comments »
Whoa, is this a super post or what? I guess I have to make up for some lost time, no? In an attempt to convince more of you that these shoes truly are awesome, I had my friend Tess take some super close-up shots of my new babies. I’m sitting in my room right now and it’s a complete disaster. Shit is everywhere. Gotta walk on tippy-toes to make sure I don’t crush anything valuable.
My little eight legged friend that was only a few inches away from my head. Yes, I’m a bit of an arachnophobe. I understand that the world needs them to kill other bugs, but it doesn’t make them any less effing creepy. <shudder>
I was talking to my friend Stef today about what I should do to mix things up. She suggested I try something entirely different and in the spirit of tossing things up, I think I will take her advice. I have a bad habit of attaching myself to outfits that mix a lot of manly things with slutty things, so in an effort to explore new and different avenues I’m going to dedicate a future uber-girly outfit to my work-mate.
Wearing TNA tank top, Aritzia cashmere sweater, Forever 21 leather skirt, Ashish for TOPSHOP booties, Stam MJ Bag
haha i love your description of sluttly/manly – i think your outfits are gorgeous. and you definitely pull off those boots a lot better than some other people i’ve seen!
mmm yes the boots. keep ‘em coming!
aww i love your style just the way it is! but it’s always, always good to mix things up every once in a while. supergirly will suit you well =)
STUNNING!!! love these boots ..you look so awesome
Love the tank!! The strap looks so great as its tapering off towards your shoulder! I love how stylish and chic your look is in the locale of your photos (juxtaposition?). Great pics!
Yummy Ashish wedges!!!

Donna,
I used to hate that the straps would turn inwards on these tanks…but i’m really loving how it looks now…not quite spaghetti, which is good.

Well, for the record I absolutely love your style exactly as it is (this outfit proves my point), but a change is always welcome, we all need to mix things up from time to time!

Can you do a post with pictures on your work outfits? I am curious as to what a super fashionista like you wears to the office!
I have the Zebra ones from Ashis…. wore them once indoor …..
I’m loving them.. but don’t wear them…

Lisa,
I’m afraid to say that part of the reason why i started my blog was to wear all of my ‘real’ clothes. You see, I wear a lot of typical office ware to the office. nothing special. Think…a lot of black…..
V
Thanks B!

Ah, yes I see. I was hoping for some alternative to the boring things I wear to work as a young professional. Maybe I’ll have to start my own blog
If I do I will invest in a pair of the HOT over the knee boots you have. Those are AMAZING.
Lisa….
Well I usually wear pretty structured things. Structured but boring! For fall I think I’m going to go for the original YSL woman with the slicked back hair and smoking jacket. I have tons of work trousers and dress shirts…so it works out!
But yeah, start a blog!!! Don’t keep your beautiful clothes hostage!

So luv this outfit!! Looking chic as always!! xx
i am so in love with those leopard booties. and the way they look with the red nail polish! wild and styliiiish…
This is a super post! great boots and really nice leather skirt!
Only you could pull off those booties. Love.
Claire,
They are outrageous and I think from an objective standpoint, kinda ugly. BUT i love them. Dearly. If they weren’t so bloody narrow in the back I’d wear them everywhere and anywhere.
