30!!

Finally! The last outfit in the 30 for 30 remix - but I did it! Next time around I hope that there won't be a vacation in the middle of it - but either way, glad I've gotten through this experience. 

I definitely appreciate my closet a lot more - and now it feels like I have so many choices in my closet instead of nothing to wear!

Outfit #30! 3/14/11

While it's been fun sharing my closet and remixes, I'm looking forward to sharing more Chicago style that's out there - especially as the weather starts to get warmer!


What I wore: Sweater from TJ Maxx, Ralph Lauren button down, J Brand jeans, Frye boots

Spring Trend: Ladylike

We've already at this point heard to death all about the big trends for spring from 70's to the continuation of minimalism, and ladylike. But - I absolutely love this look book from Shopbop. It's their take on the ladylike trend - which coming from them always has a bit of an edge. But either way - Love! Can't wait to start trying out similar looks like this for spring!

Love and honor

Friday was shadow day at work for students from my alma mater. So, as I was presenting to the students and having a shadow for part of the day, I wanted to have a put together, but not too dressy. I went back to my preppy college roots wearing navy and gold - overall a good Friday outfit!

Outfit #29: 3/11/11

 

Sunshine! Finally!

What I wore: Blazer (my mom's), button down from Zara, J Brand jeans, Tory Burch flats

"You look pretty good for getting dressed in the dark"

The quote is from my boss. We had a power outage at our apartment yesterday morning, so I literally dressed myself in the dark. But not so bad, right? 

Outfit #28 3/10/11

My beloved Frye's - I could not have gotten through this remix without them!

 Last 2 remixes.... coming soon!


What I wore: Blazer from the Limited, Shirt was my mom's (I really need to start shopping in actual stores, haha), pants from Zara, Boots are Frye

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
