Outfit: Happy New Year!!

by grechen on December 31, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

We’re not going out tonight (my fiance’s son is visiting), so I’m not really wearing this, but if we were, I guess this is what I would wear…I did actually wear it last night out for happy hour with my friends Sharon & Sydney though. So it IS an outfit. And you’ll be pleased to know I decided to keep this dress. And persuaded Sharon to get it. Now there are at least three of us in Austin with this dress…..we should do a photoshoot :)

I’m wearing:
Madewell dress
J Crew belt
Bop Basics knit jacket
Spanx tights
Robert Clergerie shoes
Jas M.B. bag – this is nearly identical to my olive-colored bag, but in quilted black. It was on sale at Barney’s co-op yesterday and I couldn’t not get it. Jas M.B. bags are some of the best made bags in my opinion, affordable, and wear SO well. Sharon got one too ;) the small messenger bag in black. See this post I did recently on where to find Jas M.B bags onlineTobi.com has a few styles and they’re offering 30% off through 1/2 with code BEST30.

The 15th outfit I put on today

by grechen on December 30, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I’m wearing:
Gap Jeans
Gap tank top – got it for $3 and I HATE IT. I bought three of them last week and they’ve all stretched out so much they’re barely wearable. And in spite of having a few white tank tops, not one is THE PERFECT WHITE TANK TOP. Know what I mean?
LaRok sweater – VERY old, but I love the color and that it’s a bit shorter in the back
J Crew belt
Swedish Hasbeens clogs
Jas M.B. handbag

And yes, you read the title correctly. I spent an hour putting on and taking off clothes this morning getting ready for my friend Sharon to pick me up and go shopping. The weather is weird today – a little cool, but supposed to warm up a lot during the day. And I wanted to wear my new James Perse stuff, but couldn’t make ANYTHING work. NOTHING. Honestly, I just wanted to wear the exact same outfit I wore yesterday. But that would be boring.

What I’m wearing:
James Perse long fleece skirt – mine is old, at least 2 years, and not available anymore, sorry :(
James perse funnel-neck top – I have been wearing this a lot; I really love it.
LnA white t-shirt
Tory Burch Reva flats
Jas M.B. bag

I took my fiance’s son out to run some errands and while we were browsing Nordstrom (oops!), I tried on this James Perse bolero/cardigan again and decided to get it, and then on total impulse, I picked up my favorite t-shirt, the casual tee, in the new Rosenude color – which is gorgeous. Here it is in the v-neck version at Shopbop:

James Perse Short Sleeve V Neck Tee

I’ll try to put an outfit together for you tomorrow :)

I found these Flutter by Jill Golden earrings intriguing…

And I’m a little obsessed with the model’s makeup; I love the strong eye and pretty pink lip.

Thumbnail image for Outfit: Still more Madewell…

And I do apologize for teasing you, but it’s not available anymore… I’m also wearing: James Perse tube dress (my oldest JP piece – and quite possibly still [...]

Outfit: More Madewell

December 14, 2010

While I was buying the dress I mentioned here, I also picked up this striped shirt at Madewell for about $7.50. It’s not online at Madewell anymore, but it is at Shopbop for full price (not worth it IMO). It’s an awesome shirt, however, I should obviously have worn a more “uplifting” bra; I feel [...]
