Sonnet for the Self

This is adorable in my opinion. Anyone else take a fancy to it? It is reduced from $150 to $129.00

Hi fab ladies!
I received my dansko tennie/clogs last night from Zappos! Yay for fast shipping. Posted a couple of pics last night cause I was so excited.....the wine made me do it! I am wearing them for the first time to work and am wondering what if any reaction my coworkers will have. Here goes....WIW

levi demi-curve black skinnies
black and striped LLBEAN boatneck
black and white coldwater creek confetti scarf
coral jean jacket
gray faux leather moto jacket
white watch
poppy red raincoat
black suede rainhat
black and white dansko "veda" tennie/clogs

Opinions are gratefully accepted. I feel good in it and hope I look as good as I feel. Really brings out my playful side.

Hello fab ladies,
I have been trying to will Spring to arrive and it insists on thwarting me! One day it's nice and the next it's.....well....NOT Springy at all! However I will perserver with one foot in snow and the other in daffodils or some other appropriate flower.

What I wore today:
gray BR turtleneck
yellow BR cardigan
black and metal necklace
black skinnies (levi dem-curve)
taupe Born shooties (wanted a contrast. Hope my legs look don't look stumpy)
gray faux leather jacket (yes...again!)
poppy red eddie bauer raincoat
multi color warm ikat patterned scarf
black beat up rain hat

Opinions on everything are of course appreciated. I feel good about the outfit and even think the taupe booties look nice with the rest of it!

Bonus shot of the furbaby Reilly in # 6 although he didn't pose for me. Turned his back at the last minute.

I know this is going to be somewhat out of character for my style but I really think these are cute...at least in the picture. I wanted a shoe that sort of has the converse black and white look but I wanted a little bit of a heel and something a little more "funky...playful?" Anway. I just ordered them and hope they will look good with skinnies and my striped tops etc. Can't envision wearing them with a skirt or dress right now. Opinions?

Happy Monday lovely ladies!
Twinnie gave me the sibling to my green jacket. I have been coveting this coral one for some time so we did some swapping!

I am combining stripes and florals today. I like the results but of course I value your opinions. Here goes

Hi lovelies!
It is a misty Sunday morning and I am heading over to twinnies house for tea and a chat! Here is what I wore. This is my first time wearing the new skinnies with flats. I am also really digging wearing two patterns at once!. Opinions please Sorry for the blurry last pic.

Happy St Pats Day! We are doing what we lovingly refer to as "boiled dinner" at our house for family (my mom, twin sis and baby sis) and in honor of it I am wearing a "touch of green". Not full bore emerald green I'm sporting but very muted moss green sweater and floral scarf (with same soft muted green) that hubs bought for me on a trip to see his son. But I digress...

The epiphany which I referred to in the title is regarding a contentious beige jacket that I bought 2 years ago because it was a "good deal" and I thought i needed a jacket. Well I DID and indeed DO still need indoor jackets but this is what I have now realized is the fabled "soul sucking beige".

I am attempting to style it in some acceptable way before I goodwill or consign it.My own take on it is that this is an acceptable look but that is all. The jacket has small rounded lapels that kind of emphasize my smaller sloping shoulders. I think the length is ok for me.

I have nothing emotionally vested in this jacket so "let er rip"!

Also I have included the first pic to show you the difference between an sharp lapel and the subsequent rounded one which I don't find myself liking!

I have a Polyvore acct and I do use it although it is kind of tricky. Imagine my delight when, reading Angie's post day, I clicked on blue blouse in the style blog. It led me directly to Polyvore and I was treated with the opportunity to "follow" YouLookFab outfits in all their goodness. This may be old hat to some of you but it is awesome. Even if you don't want to use Polyvore for yourself you should DEFINITELY check out the YouLookFab outfits there! So cool! Here's the link if you need it!

Hi lovelies,
It is gray and rainy here in Boise but it is supposed to get up to 56 degrees so I will be able to do my usual lunchtime walk despite the rain! I wanted a cheery outfit so here is what I wore:
black levi demi-cure skinnies
rust colored turtleneck
Multi color scarf
Gray faux leather jacket
black lace up boots
poppy red Eddie Bauer raincoat
black suede rain hat

Hopefully this look meets with approval. Happy Friday!

I am enjoying Pinterest and Closet Couture so much! I found two items on Nordstrom's site ( an ikat printed top and a pair of Wit and Wisdom apricot skinnies). I tried blending the two together and sort of like the results. Opinions on this combo? Here is the link where I sort of stuck them together!
