Chrismukkah

Work With What You've Got

Last weekend we went to a Chrismukkah concert. Several bands played but my personal favorites were: Florene (Whom I have seen several times and always really enjoy) www.myspace.com/florenemusic and Top Secret Robot Alliance (PLEASE watch the “Tiger Dance” video. Seriously) [link] It was one of those freak warm days we have been having (like today!) and I was able to go with bare legs.

All Cats Are Grey (mini challenge)

Work With What You've Got

So lately I really need a reason to get dressed. And as a result, I sort of hopped on a challenge last minute. (I’m sure no one will care, I’ve never seen a more supportive group of ladies.) Work That Wardrobe posted a mini challenge to wear an outfit inspired by a song. I choose All Cats Are Grey by The Cure. I know it seems too easy, but I have never done a challenge before so I thought I’d start easy.

Dinner with Friends

Work With What You've Got

I felt like this outfit struck just the right balance of dressy and casual for dinner at the pub. The blouse, boots and bag kept it dressy, while the jeans and cotton cardigan toned it down and kept it casual. I was comfortable and I felt really pretty. And the blouse left room for a Cream Cheese Tart w/ fresh berries, candied walnuts & caramel for dessert.

Flashback

Work With What You've Got

So the outfits for the “Decades” dress up party came out great. The closest to an outfit shot of Nathan I got was this: But he looked great. UGLY sweater, old school Docs, Morrissey tee, scruffy beard and all. Here is my outfit in all it’s glory though: That jacket is a jacket I bought when I was 16, with a paycheck from the GAP. I was so excited when I got it, I wore it right away.

Tapas

Work With What You've Got

I have a killer cold so I’m not going out much lately, but Friday I did go out for tapas. And they were really good. Bacon wrapped dates, mushroom croquettes, chunky fried potatoes…mmmm. I eat a LOT when I have a cold, because when I’m eating, I feel better. I know I’m pushing it with the tunic leggings combo. I don’t care. I doubled up the leggings and called them pants.

Gift Bag

Work With What You've Got

I wasn’t going to do an outfit post this day. I was wearing jeans and a tee. Not very interesting. But then Nathan came home. And he wanted to go get dinner, AND, he had brought me a gift. He had thrifted this gorgeous suede and leather vintage bag for me. It’s by Naturalizer and it looks like it was never even carried. I. Love. It. A close up of the tee for interested parties… I’m not much for going out in jeans and a tee, but I didn’t really want to change, so I threw on a sweater and a scarf.

Twilight

Work With What You've Got

Danael and I went to lunch and to see Twilight. I asked him to take a few outfit pics for me. He took one, and it was good, so we quit!~ I really loved this outfit. It was so simple and classic. And the shoes stayed comfortable for a surprisingly long time. If I didn’t have such a horrible bunion, I think I could wear them all day, even on days when I’m on my feet a lot.
