After Arcade Fire won the Grammy this year, someone created a tumblr with all the tweets from people who had never heard of them who were outraged that Justin Bieber hadn’t won. My favorite comments were the ones asking “Who’s The Suburbs and why did some stupid album called Arcade Fire win?” I only bring this up because I recently created an Arcade Fire station on Pandora and I’ve been enjoying the mix quite a bit.

So… yellow tights. I got a ton of crazy looks yesterday when I wore this outfit. People in Boston act like they’ve never seen a grown woman dress like a British schoolgirl before.

It feels almost sacrilegious to put up a picture of myself in a sweater when it’s beautiful outside right now and the sun is shining. But I am way behind on my outfit photos, so I’m starting with the first one from Monday. Yes, it’s Sunday. I am that far behind!

So this is my first outfit photo set-up at my parent’s place. And I guess it’ll do the trick for now, although my parents have such lovely artwork and decor that I should look for some new places to take pictures.

One last thing- if you wear a long black skirt with a long black jacket, people will look at like you’re a witch. Trust me on this.

This is me trying something new. It looked a little sloppy and it looked a lot like a british school uniform. And yep, I got loads of weird looks wearing my knee high socks.

I am tingly with anticipation over here. Yes, tingly. In just a few months I will no longer be using my 6 year old ibook. Just. a. little. more. saving. And a nice refund from Uncle Sam!

This outfit is from last week. I have never worn so much yellow in my life. But now I like it.

I like today’s (well, yesterday’s) outfit better than the last one I posted. What’s been on your mind? I’ve been:

• obsessively listening to Kings of Leon
• avoiding doing laundry
• eating desert before dinner
• telling especially dirty jokes
• missing my sister

In all my excitement over New York Fashion Week, I haven’t bothered to post any outfits. And I’ve had some cute outfits!

Top- Forever21
Tank top- Forever21
Jeans- Martin & Osa

Apparently this lace top (and the dress version) have become very popular and sold out. I’m so glad I got mine early. It’s absolutely lovely on.

dress- Diane von Furstenberg
cardigan- Rodarte for Target
boots- Steve Madden

Love, love, love the combo of yellow and navy. Also, I think I finally perfected my version of “naturally” wavy hair.

dress- Zara
tights- Plush fleece lined tights
shoes- Nine West

So here’s an outfit I didn’t get to actually wear out. Too bad, ’cause it’s cute, right?

I can’t stop wearing this top. LOVE IT. I “borrowed” it from my mom ages ago and… she’s not getting it back. Sorry mom!

Remember my aversion to business clothes? Apparently, Chloe Kitten has no problem with them. She’s quite happy in proper business attire.

Yes, my girl cat is wearing a necktie. I think it’s quite chic, with a vintage vibe

Beginning (well, middle of the night)

end of the night

Ever get a thought lodged in your head and it doesn’t go away, no matter what? No amount of alcohol, food, or laughter could stop me from thinking that thing.

I know that it won’t last, but the weather was gorgeous today. The sun came out, it wasn’t freeze-your-nips-off cold. It made my day. In fact, a coworker said that she hadn’t seen me this happy since, well… summertime.

So I broke out my new oxfords and added some ruffles. And the super-opaque tights? They’re the new fleece-lined tights from plush. I’m going to do a proper review, but in a word? buythem.

Huh? You wish you could see the details better? Done!
