Summer Retro

A few days ago I was inspired by Kendi Everyday's 30 for 30 Remix, yesterday and today's outfits were both attempts at this. The basic gist of 30 for 30 Remix is that rather than buying new clothes you 'remix' clothes that you have and wear them in a 'different' way so that they feel new; and I would like to say so far so good. I've tried 2 new outfits and I love them both :). I think this was a great idea and I am going to continue trying this as I am trying to save money for a vacation and cannot spend money right now, so this idea was just wonderful to find.

Here is my attempt #2, what do you think?

Fall Coat

I recently joined Guilt Group and didn't see what was so great about it, until today.
I was browsing the website, aka avoiding my homework, when I came upon some Elle Tahari coats, and I found this beauty, on sale for 65% off!!!
I consulted with my momma and she said go for it so I did.
Hope it works out and fits right :)

'You should be dancing YEAH!'

Its that time again, date night.
This was the outfit I wore to Sunday Night's date night event. Boyfriend and I just went for burgers at our favorite local bar, Black Market, with the best bartender on the planet.
If this outfit looks a little like the previous post, thats because it is, it was another 'day to night' outfit but I didn't have time to post it same day.

Also, decided to try 'dancing' while photographing, what do you think?

Woman in Black

Decided to re-do yesterday's hair.
At one of my jobs I dress up a little bit, so here was my nights ensemble.

Top: Target

Shorts: Express

Earings: Forever 21

70's Flare

I decided to be slightly adventurous and try some new things today.

I have had these jeans for 3 years now and have worn them once, I never feel like I have shoes that go with them (or in this case I am always concerned they will dye my light colored shoes). But I figured why not. Boot Cut and Clogs :)

Also, tried something new with the hair, what do you guys think?

Sweater: UO

Jeans: Citizen

Sunnies: Kate Spade

The Fall is Upon Us

Here in NYC fall is in full force, we've had one full week of 60 degree weather.
I am LOVING it!
Fall is by far my favorite season, wish it would last longer.
I rarely wear this top as I find it difficult to pair sometimes, however I still love it. I purchased it at a building opening in Sacramento 3 years ago from an independent San Francisco fashion designer, Nicacelly. Enjoy :)

Kimono Shirt: Nicacelly

Tank: Express

Jeans: Uniqlo

Necklace: Zanzabar Sacramento

Glasses: Kate Spade

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell c/o UO

Ebay Love

I love ebay, I find the best stuff.
Just purchased this, so excited for it to come in the mail :)

Day to Night

Boyfriend and I have been together for quite a few years now, and the two of us have fairly hectic schedules; so we schedule 'date night' once a week. This week in particular I came from work to date night, so i decided to go home and change my outfit. Kept the same shirt for both, but I changed the rest of the outfit. What do you guys think?

This outfit was from a few days ago.
