what to wear

My second entry into the fabulous Bunnyshop/Shopbop contest is a bit more risque! Jean and I worked on this one together, so we’ll split the prize if it wins. Today’s outfit is designed for a glamorous evening out on the town. I imagine it would make a big splash in San Francisco for New Year’s…

Bunnyshop is running a styling contest to design the best outfit! The winner will receive a whopping $1,000 shopbop gift certificate. My first entry (you can enter three times) is a work-to-evening outfit made from items on sale at shopbop adding up to less than $1,000. (I’m going to compensate for my somewhat conservative style…

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to dress more creatively at work. My outfits have recently fallen into a turtleneck-skirt-flats rut that is somewhat frumpy. Cutting back on the turtlenecks and finding cute flat shoe alternatives will be a challenge. Here’s one option: Sweater – A cardigan and blazer all rolled into one. I…

Just when you feel like giving up shopping forever, the after-Christmas sales lure you back! This is a perfect time to stock up on classic pieces to get you through the rest of the winter: Ruffled Blouse – Ruffled blouses are a pain to iron but do wonders for “boyish” figures. This one was once…

It is mighty cold out there. And San Francisco still has many rainy days ahead. But I am starting to feel ready for Spring now that Christmas is over. Maybe because I saw that the ferns had sprouted on my walk to work this morning. The city ferns magically appear on rocks and bricks all…

We’re past the point of no return on the open house party, the invitations went out earlier this week. Now, all I can worry about is the food (TGFTJ’s) and what to wear: Tunic – I’m intrigued by this top. It seems like it would either be really cute or pretty terrible in person. Tank…

Brrr. When is it going to stop raining? I love it when it rains on the weekend, such a good excuse to stay in your pajamas with a book. But during the week…when you have to take the bus…and walk to the post office? Time to do some serious layering Umbrella – I am sure…

Being a raven haired beauty has one downside: you can’t wear black! I tried on my old favorite black ballet tee this morning only to see a goth staring back at me in the mirror. And my black wool coat? It’s a goner. I need to think fast about my alternatives: Turtleneck – This white…

I am not happy with my outfit today. It’s laundry night and I was running low on options. The skirt shrunk in the wash, the colors are bland, you can see my stupid SI belt and I’m freezing in my air conditioned office. This is what I want to wear instead: Knit cardigan – So…
