Outfit: Too Much Stuff

by grechen on May 23, 2011 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

wearing; Madewell skirt | Velvet x Calypso t-shirt | Calypso sandals | 3.1 Philip Lim bag | SURevolution necklace

Today is one of those days. I hated everything I put on, I didn’t want to wear anything, and definitely didn’t want to leave the house. But I did – and the only thing I felt good in was my long black skirt, t-shirt & flat sandals. In fact, I think the only thing I love in my closet right now is this Madewell skirt – it’s time that I get the gray one. And then get rid of EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY CLOSET.

Okay. Obviously the PMS has taken over, but I do have too much stuff. I do kind of love having so much, but at the same time, it’s a curse; I don’t even KNOW what I have. I don’t wear the things I do love often enough to even have them. And then because I do have so much, I can’t find what I want and know is there! Ugh. I love choice – I’d rather have a choice than no choice any day, but for me, right now, having TOO MUCH choice in my closet is very, very bad.

So, I’m going to be getting rid of stuff. A lot of stuff. Starting with my Alexander Wang Darcy hobo in luggage (last seen here). I love it, but it’s not “me” anymore. If you want it, contact me and let me know ASAP – I’ll be listing it on ebay in the next couple of days…

Do you ever have days when you feel like you have TOO MUCH stuff? or not the RIGHT stuff?

Outfit: A new day

by grechen on January 31, 2011 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I made the executive decision over the weekend that I’m not going to be taking outfit pictures in front of my kitchen door anymore. BORING. That means I probably won’t be able to post an outfit everyday, but at least the outfits I do post will be prettier. In theory anyway. Time to step it up a notch around here! I may even invest in a DSLR!!

What I’m wearing:
James Perse pants
Swedish Hasbeens clogs
LnA white tee
T by Alexander Wang sweater
Alexander Wang Darcy Hobo

Outfit: JAMES PERSE OUTLET!!!!!!!!

by grechen on August 24, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Wearing:
James Perse tee
Anthropologie skirt
Alexander Wang Darcy bag
No6 clogs

Over the weekend, Sharon and I went to the JAMES PERSE OUTLET!!!!!!! in San Marcos because 1. it was tax-free weekend and 2. they were offering an extra 30% off. 30% off and no tax?? believe me, it was tough not to buy a lot more, but I had a budget, and I blew it on two things. One was this top. It’s 100% viscose and besides also trying it on at Neiman Marcus, I haven’t seen it online anywhere. It was $30, and I LOVE it. It’s super-lightweight, and nice & drapey, although now that I’ve worn it, I wish it was a size smaller…

I also got this top for $70 (I won’t be wearing it for a while though…it was 106 here today!!!!)

It is AMAZING. Really flattering on, in spite of it’s boxy shape. I tried it on with a fitted pencil skirt, so it definitely needs to be worn with something fitted on the bottom, but I’m so excited I was able to get it.

Outfit: No6 t-strap sandals

I told you I would wear these the rest of the summer…

Also wearing
Inhabit NY skirt (speaking of Inhabit…their sale + coupon code is still on!)
James Perse casual tee
Alexander Wang Darcy Hobo

I don’t know what you wear when you hear it’s going to “feel” like 105 today. I don’t know…when it’s over 95, I don’t think it matters what you wear, you’re going to be HOT anyway. Really hot. I just try to go as fast as I can from the car to my destination. And limit stops. Today I’m just going to lunch with my fiance, then to an event later to eat cake balls. No laughing ;)

Are you tired of this skirt yet?? Well, if not, it’s on sale at Anthropologie (thanks to my super-savvy online shopping friend Sharon) for $39!!! And yes, I got them to credit me the difference in what I paid for my black one ordered on July 29th. THANK YOU SHARON I’m also wearing my new [...]

Outfit: who is this?

I guess it’s not so rare to find me wearing color anymore, but patterns? NO way. Well, unless you count stripes, and I don’t even wear them that often. I certainly never mix patterns, or never have until now. And I don’t really know what got into me, just that I really wanted to wear [...]

I just got this skirt today on a shopping outing with Sharon & Sydney, so I haven’t actually worn it yet, well, except for this picture I think it was better in the Anthropologie dressing room…what do you think? It’s really not THIS bright in person, although it is bright. But that’s what I like [...]

So, after deciding on doing a “30 days of James Perse” challenge on Friday, I’ve decided not to do it right now for a few reasons: I’m too attached to my new Anthropologie skirt to NOT wear it for 30 days After segmenting out all the James Perse in my closet, I realized about half [...]

Outfit: Stuart Weitzman Clogs + Alexander Wang Darcy Hobo

So, I had already made up my mind to return these Stuart Weitzman clogs I got two days ago at Nordstrom Rack for $129 (cheaper than I’ve found them for sale online) and now that I look at these pictures, I’m not so sure They’re pretty comfortable, at least just from walking around the house [...]

I don’t think the demand will get as high (it certainly hasn’t so far) for the studded darcy hobo as it did for Alexander Wang’s Rocco/Coco duffel, but I still think it’s a great bag. In fact…my Darcy hobo in Luggage will be arriving from Satine next week!!!! SQUEE!!!!!! So stay tuned for a complete [...]

Alexander Wang Darcy Hobo

I’ve been obsessed with Alexander Wang’s new Darcy hobo bag since I posted about it in April. I don’t think it will reach the extreme “must-have” level that the Rocco (coco) has, but it does have the same “new classic” feel that the Rocco duffel has. Now that it’s available to purchase online, there are [...]

My Fall Handbag

I can’t help it. I’m still drawn to the studs and the pebbled leather Alexander Wang has made iconic… Check out more of the Fall 2010 Alexander Wang accessories & shoes collection at Refinery29. Honestly, I’m not feeling much besides the above hobo bag. The shoes really don’t do anything for me… **edited 4/21/2010: Satine [...]
