Black Winter Outerwear

by


Dear Nnenna,

I got these touch screen gloves for Christmas this year! This style seems to work better for me than the metallic thread ones, but the tips of my fingers do get cold after a while.


But! I can use my phone without the rest of my hands getting freezing and any more dried out than they already are. Cold weather is so harsh on my skin.

The rest of my outfit is pretty boring, although the coat’s new. Lined with Thinsulate so it’s really warm, but I got it in petite and that might have been a mistake. I think the shoulders have to be let out. I’m wearing the old scarf from Talbots again, J.Crew coat, Joe’s Jeans… jeans, MIA ankle boots, and Coach sunglasses and bag.

A Halfway Decent Twirl Photo for Once

by

January 6, 2012
Dear Silvergirl,

Have you worn your pink skirt yet? It twirls so well! However, the stripes of my shirt are definitely visible through it in some photos (eek!), so beware of patterns.

I caught the light at such a beautiful time. The sunsets have been really nice lately, so I’ve taken to walking around 5 or so most days. Well, at least as long as the weather permits.

I’m wearing my Ann Taylor shirt, Old Navy skirt, Forever 21 belt, Betsey Johnson tights, Stuart Weitzman Forsure pumps.

Friends Under the Trees

by

January 4, 2011
Dear Dotty,

Guess who! Shivani came to visit and we took some typically bizarre photos. I don’t really know what we were doing either. It was cold and sometimes we are very silly. It’s what happens when you’ve been friends for nearly twenty years.

I’ve been feeling really minimalist lately, but I think this outfit is just boring, ugh. I have to work on my minimalist-yet-interesting looks. I’m wearing a J.Crew coat, MM couture dress, Talbots scarf, Cole Haan gloves, and Born boots (still available in brown).

Python Print and Faux Shearling Again

by


Dear Kelsey,

So I’m totally running out of ways to wear this dress… any suggestions? I meant to wear it with red tights this time around but forgot to pack them.

Things have been rather quiet lately because I’ve been mildly sick. There are flowers still blooming in North Carolina and my allergies have been so bad since making the trip south. Good news, however, I think I’m beginning to feel better.

I’m wearing my Simply Vera Vera Wang jacket, H&M dress, Forever 21 belt, Betsey Johnson tights, and MIA ankle boots.

Night Photos on the Eve of the New Year

by

December 31, 2011
Dear Caitlin,

Happy New Year! Wishing you luck and prosperity :) I left it really late to get photos, and after two other locations I finally decided on this one. This light is so much harsher than I’m used to, but the flash was much worse. I like that these remind me of film photos, though. I did get my Instax for Christmas and I love it!

Hope you had a wonderful New Year’s Eve! I went to a concert… and was still overdressed, haha.

I’m wearing an Old Navy shirt, Gap skirt, Forever 21 belt, MIA ankle boots, Assets by Sara Blakely tights, and a ken + dana necklace.
