{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 23

January 23rd, 2011:

Tank; Wet Seal
Sweater; Zara
Jeans; Macys
Converse; Urban Outfitters

I have to admit, I was in my PJ’s for 80% of today. I actually had to throw on this outfit to go out in public to grab laundry detergent and dinner at a nearby favorite. So it was a quick go-to pick. I absolutely love these jeans – they fit just right and I love the exaggerated flare. I also love that I can wear them with flats, or in this case, Chucks, and they do not drag on the floor. Little things like this are priceless, trust me.

ps; I spy with my little eye: an RGBmonster!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 22

January 22nd, 2011:

Dress; American Apparel
Ruffle belt; Forever 21
Leopard tights; Target
Sneakers; Urban Outfitters
Jean jacket; Old Navy
Nerd specs; Urban Outfitters online

Tonight I was celebrating one of my nearest and dearest friend’s birthday. It had been some time since I had gone out “officially” – probably since my New Years Eve celebration. For a couple that does not stop socializing, this is a big deal. I was happy to get a fun party outfit together, especially since it was chilly out and that meant…TIGHTS! I was a little self conscious throughout the night because of my itty bitty dress (oh, American Apparel, you dirty slut), but otherwise, felt so comfortable. Happiest of birthdays, Ian!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 21

January 21st, 2011:

Top; Old Navy
High waisted skirt; American Apparel
Heels; Forever 21 clearance bucket
Necklace; Old Navy

This top is such a headache! I was immediately drawn to it when I saw it in the store because of its bright and cheery shade of yellow. I had to have it! Somehow, it passed the horrid dressing room inspection (you know what I’m talking about, ladies: the lights of doom) and made it back home with me. However, the first time I wore it, I vowed to never put it on again. I looked like I was approximately 5 months pregnant! But, I didn’t give up on it. I left it in my closet determined to tuck it into something high waisted, and the almost 2 year wait was worth it! I was able to pair it with my American Apparel skirt perfectly! Moral of the story: even if you take an item home and it isn’t exactly working, don’t give up hope! Play with different ways you can wear it (remix, as those hip fashion bloggers say), before officially sending it packin’.

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 20

January 20th, 2011:

Sweater dress; TJ Maxx
Tights; Target
Brown pumps; ??

It is no longer Winter in Miami, but I am having a hard time letting go. Thankfully, my office is really frigid most of the time, so I can get away with wearing cold weather items even when if it is 80 degrees out. I’ve always loved tights, but my love affair has been kicked into high gear after checking out the We Love Colors blog. I had such a good time looking through everyone’s amazing tight-filled outfits. So much so, that I decided I was going to wear tights today, regardless of the weather!

I had really been pumping up the adorable $5 tights from Target (I’m wearing them in gray), but I was so upset when they ripped mid-day at work. They are brand-spanking new! Although I am upset over my loss, this only means I am just going to have to take the plunge and order some from We Love Colors! The problem? I wouldn’t know where to begin! They have so many options to choose from, although I am partial to these striped babies. Swoon!

Lovable Friday!

1. DigiDudes Pocket Tripod

I may have verbally squealed when I saw this on a friend’s pinterest board. It’s just all sorts of adorable and…it’s pink! If you are a camwhore like myself (hey, I’m honest), a handy dandy tripod that can be carried with you on your bag or purse is a must-have. I can especially see its benefits now that I am doing this 30-day fashion challenge, so I can see it being extremely useful for a fashion blogger. Needless to say, I sent it over to the hubs as a possible Valentine’s Day “stocking stuffer” so to speak, and he replied with, “bought.” Isn’t he the greatest? Want your own? Buy it here!
