Monday Mix - Black Pencil Skirt

-
They don't put a black pencil skirt on every single "classics you should own" for no good reason. Mine has proved the test of time over and over. Definitely go higher quality and better fit when you pick this guy out! This one was on sale at Banana Republic and it's been amazing.

#HappyNewYear

Although this was actually for a Christmas party, since I knew my New Years would be unremarkably casual attire, I pulled out the gold sequins earlier in the month. Also, enjoy the supremely posed picture below from my office's party. We had a little fun checking out the ritzy rooms in the hotel's presidential suite. Black Pencil Skirt, J.

I found myself going on a very quiet run at my favorite park that was unusually empty. Perhaps it was the downpour of rain and the temperature approaching freezing, but I got to match my workout gear! Enjoy my day outfit and having a very zen-ful closing to 2014:  Jacket, pants, socks - Roadrunner Sports Fleece Ja...

Daring Greatly

Most outfits I wear don't spark controversy. But for some reason this one did:  After reinventing my wardrobe and cleaning it up, I'm finding I am able to think up more creative combinations for outfits because I can see more. So, less is more is the moral of that story. But I saw some past outfits where people took summer "jumper" dresses, paired them with button-ups underneath, and gave them a fresh, almost Indie-look. So when I realized I could wear this dress another way, I instantly pulled it out and chose what I felt was the most interesting and suitable combination - my buffalo plaid top. I stepped out of my room and my roommate immediately took a look and, very unlike her, said, "Hey, just wanted to let you know, that top and dress don't match."

Phew, it took almost a year to complete this task, but I completed my second music challenge !   For those who don't remember or don't know, my older sister I Get Dressed currently runs a fashion blog and inspired me to turn my old one (formerly eclectic rocking) from a database of pictures (which Pinterest now fulfilled that need in my life) to a daily documentation of what outfits I wore.  Once we got the hang of pictures and were starting to get bored with our outfits, we had a conversation about two years ago about how a lot of music inspires fashion . So we decided to push ourselves creatively by giving each other a set of songs that we had to create outfits for. Well, judging by the looks of mine and hers last time, it was a great success, so we decided to do it again. Anyway, enough rambling, here is a recap of my results: 1 - Pictures of You- The Last Goodnight 2 - Call Me Irresponsible- Michael Buble 3 - Club Can’t Even Handle Me- Flo Rida ...
