Love this look!

So I absolutely love Fashion Week - all the craziness, the new fashions, and all the great street photography that comes out of it! I especially love Paris Fashion Week. I just have this dream to dress as cool as a Parisian one day... even though I don't even have an ounce of French heritage... sigh. Anyway, I'll be giving more of a roundup of fashion week once the remixing is over, but in the meantime just had to share this photo! Style.com is one of my favorite resources for fashion week, and they enlisted Tommy Ton from jakandjill.com to take their street style photos.

I love this outfit for the color blocking (a big thing for spring), and the fact that I could maybe pull this off! I mean, we all need an excuse to wear our J.Crew green apple capris, right?

I have forgotten what sunshine feels like...

Yet another gloomy day in Chi-town. It'll be nice and spring soon, right? 

Anyway, how cute is this gal?

Fullerton EL stop, 3/10/11

I love the contrast of the white hat with the coat. And really, who can do wrong with an LV tote?

How did I not think of this before?

Oh right, that's what this remix is for. Had never thought of wearing this sweater this way, and it might be my favorite way of wearing it. It's kind of a bulky thing, so its nice that I can still show off my shape but still cozy on yet another rainy day (ugh - Chicago fail). 

Outfit #28: 3/10/11

Woo shape!

What I wore: sweater from Banana Republic, top from H&M, marc by marc jacobs jeans, booties from local shop in Brookfield, WI

Purple (&) Rain

 Yeah, I said it. Anyway....

Today I was comfortable but not too sloppy, all thanks to the top. Wow have I been loving this top during this remix! Outfit was great for a (supposed to be) rainy day with work and dinner to celebrate Mardi Gras with the girls.

Outfit #26: 3/8/11

What I wore: Ann Taylor cardigan, sweater top from Club Monaco, Citizen of Humanity jeans, belt was my Dad's (seems I have a parent's former clothing theme this week)

Monday...

Running out of creativity... especially since i'm doubling up on posts. No fault but my own... 

At least my outfits are showing more creativity than my words. Today I went a little more dressy, but still kept it casual. Can you tell I'm feeling a lot better? The black and brown combo made things a bit more casual, and I just like the mix. 

Outfit #25: 3/7/11

Not sure if you can tell, but the skirt is a bit too big (again stealing from my mom's closet). So instead of trying to hide it, I tried to make it look like I meant it to be this size. I cinched the belt and below the skirt line so the skirt bunched up over it. A bit Spring 2010, I know, but I think it may just have worked. 

This Park City hiatus is making these last remixes pretty tough... but promise I'm going to push on through!

What I wore: Top from Forever 21, Skirt was my Mom's, boots Franco Sarto

Starting to feel like spring!

This was outfit #24 from Friday... again I'm delayed, so I'll be doing a couple of posts tonight to hopefully catch up! 

As it was a rainy, but warm Friday, so it was time to bring out the trench for the first time this year. I know the outerwear isn't part of the remix, but I just had to snap a photo because I was so excited!

My mom's London Fog Trench from the 70's

As for the outfit under the trench, it was a nice casual and preppy Friday. Nice and simple! And nothing more comfortable when you're still feeling under the weather than boyfriend jeans. 

Outfit #24 3/4/11

And when it's Friday, and I'm sick, the way to make this outfit a bit less boring is adding fun accessories, AKA this great belt!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

What I wore: Ralph Lauren button down, Citizen of Humanity jeans, tory burch flats, belt from J.Crew

Outfit #23

The number bears no special significance except that it was the last outfit before my Park City trip. I'm now suffering from a gnar cold and therefore a lack of creativity... bear with me please. New clothes to be posted soon.. 

(note:  gnar = new over-used term, short for gnarly)

Outfit #23: 2/24/11

What I was wearing: Ralph Lauren button down, navy blazer was my mom's, citizen of humanity jeans, not in picture: gold tory burch flats
