Lately, a few of my favorite bloggers have posted (and challenged others to post) photos of themselves in casual clothing, the kind that one wouldn't normally post on one's blogs; Something you'd wear at home on a lazy Sunday, for example. I thought this was an interesting idea but then I realized that I tend to look "overdressed" even when I dress down and some people might get the impression that alot of time goes into that look. But here's a little secret... it doesn't. I generally throw on things that are comfortable without being sloppy AND since I'm perpetually running five minutes late, I do want to emphasize these outfits are seriously
thrown on. Anyhow, I thought I'd change it up a little and add another dimension to the post by including a second set of photos of me dressed up. This is mainly because I've had several requests to post more photos of my
New Years Eve dress (AKA the Mummy) and have let a month go by without making good on my promise! so sorry.
This is what I wore when I ran out this morning to grab a coffee at the laurel canyon store. *prep-time: 2 minutes:
jeans: siwy (gilt), sweater: UO (mens xs - yay!), duckboots: vintage llbean
quick change...
(sidenote: I really need to repaint my toes! :) )
And for a dressy night out...
the mummy dress: by deep in vogue, jewelry: gifts, hair flower: topshop, heels: xxi
Not to give excuses, but I am a bit under the weather (cough, cough) so I, honestly, might have styled the second outfit a bit more if I were actually going out and not just playing dress up for you wonderful people! :) xx
