Just because I haven't posted in a while, here's a couple of recent outfits!

Outfit Post: Dapper motherfucker

This outfit was an homage to my favorite foul-mouthed hobbit, Martin Freeman, in honor of seeing the movie (in IMAX 3-D, no less) today. Martin always dresses quite sharp, with lots of classic layers and a good command of pattern/color mixing.

Cardigan: Gap

Vest: Made by me!

Shirt: Banana Republic

Jeans: Levis

Shoes: Vintage

Outfit Post: Bomb Girls

I'll admit that this outfit is a fairly literal interpretation of 40s fashion, but I can't help it - I'm a sucker for a good wartime frock! This is the first time I've worn this bobble cardigan, which I picked up on super-sale this summer at Anthro knowing that it would be perfect for Edge of Love inspired fall outfits. This dress is a brand-new addition from my favorite shopping addiction eshakti. The print is of tiny watercolor birds!

Cardigan: Anthro

Dress: eshakti

Tights: Target

Shoes: Frye

Outfit Post: Tweed

With the advent of fall, I had been in search of a perfect wool blazer, and mentioned my search to my mom. Imagine my surprise when she showed up one day at work with lunch and this lovely hacking jacket! It's somehow not exactly what I was looking for and yet absolutely perfect. I want to wear it, and these penny loafers, with everything this fall!

Blazer: Banana Republic

Dress: Macys

Tights: Target

Shoes: Bjorn

Outfit Post: Monochrome

Well, nearly. This black-on-denim look is positively subdued for me, enough so that I had to add my new pair of crackle-finish silver oxford flats.

Jacket: Loft

Jeans: Gap Outlet

Shoes: Marshalls

Outfit Post: Mustard

I have had this skirt stashed in my closet since I bought it in Ireland in July. July, folks. Just because of the glorious mustard color in it that just screamed autumn. So of course, once I bought tights that matched I had to pair them together now that the weather's turned.

Sweater blazer: Banana Republic

Lace top: Banana Republic

Skirt: Monsoon

Tights: Target

Shoes: Macys

Outfit Post: Slither

So, I finally have a good place to take pictures again - in my brand-new apartment! By brand-new, of course, I mean new to me, because the house was build in 1898. As a solitary sort of person, I am completely in love with living alone and have been enjoying making the most of my new small space. Expect more outfit posts in the future!

I love this dress and the way it hugs every bit of my curves. Plus, I'm a sucker for anything with strong shoulders. It was warm enough to go bare-legged today, but I doubt that will last long! I paired it with heeled penny loafers and my favorite trench-cape.

 Dress: Ann Taylor Factory

Shoes: Born, Nordstrom Rack

Cape: Penneys

Outfit Post: Pinning

This outfit was completely inspired by a browse through my pins this morning. I came across this image and decided I needed to double up on check shirts and add some bangles to my watch. I also topped it with my new favorite jacket, a hunting-inspired piece from Banana Republic.

Outfit Post: Rosy

We had the first gorgeous day in a long time, but it was still chill enough to wear my new blanket-weight plaid skirt. I also broke out my brand-new gorgeous watch, Michael Kors' Runway watch, a lovely men's oversize piece in rose gold. I've never actually fallen in love with a watch before; they've always been a bit utilitarian and unnecessary. But this one I saw back in January and couldn't stop thinking about, so I bought it as a congrats-new-job present to myself!

Outfit Post: Vacation #3 - Beach combing

This outfit was a real crowd-pleaser at SFMoMA, where the typist for one of the interactive pieces of art described it as 'a sunny outfit for a spring day in San Francisco' and later called me 'the girl in the fabulous skirt'. I love interactive art!
