Finally, after owning it for a year, I wore my leather tank top. Originally purchased from Shopbop during one of the summer clearance sales, it was love at first sight despite my inability to uh…fill it in. A few months ago I brought it to a tailor who did a great job taking it in and also somehow made it fit in a way that makes me look almost busty.
I wore it last Saturday to a clothing swap (where I found some goodies!) and I rocked my first arm party. Multiple arm parties, actually, because I know how to have a good time.

Well, I’ve been having a hell of a week. How about you? Amid a blizzard and a crazy work schedule, I’ve been in real estate hell. When your landlord takes the ceiling out of your shower stall without replacing it, it’s time to move. Right? Right. So I’ll be trekking through Boston for the next few days, visiting any and all open apartments I can find. Wish me luck!
Since I’m not wearing a snowsuit and mittens, I think it’s pretty clear these photos were taken at the beginning of the week.
The necklaces are all gifts, two of them from my sister. The necklace with the “N’ charm is passed down from my grandmother, who’s name also begins with N.

Did you see Florence and the Machine on SNL this past weekend? She did two great performances of the most popular singles. I was struck by how strong and beautiful her voice is and how awesome her legs are. I wish I could find stills because the lady’s got some stems on her!
Today’s outfit does not include any of my awesome finds from the clothing swap last week, but I woke up with a clear idea of taking a somewhat casual sweatshirt and pairing it with a feminine and dressy skirt. If I had realized today was going to be hot, I would have worn platform sandals with a pair of cute ankle socks. I think the boots still work pretty well, though. Oh, and this really is today’s outfit! It’s a miracle, considering how far behind I usually am with outfit posts!

I wore this outfit Saturday night out with Becca of Free Honey and Marissa of The Well-Appointed Catwalk. We all laughed when we revealed that we had some dressing anxiety when it came to hanging out with other fashion bloggers. I will say, though, we were a very well-dressed bunch! I’m also proud to say that at one point I hustled them into the bathroom and demanded they try out the bright pink lipstick I brought. It looked great on them both. I love introducing my friends to things they haven’t tried out before. Another (2) ladies are no longer bright lipsticks virgins!
The skirt is another piece I got at the Swapaholics clothing swap. When I picked it up I assumed it would be too small, but the back is elasticized. Whew! It’s also very short, like way shorter that it looks in this picture. I rarely wear short skirts, and it was nice to do something a little different.

Friday night tapas for a girlfriends birthday! I bought this dress at the end of spring from Ebay and have been waiting impatiently for the weather to cool down enough to wear it. Right before I left the house I realized I’d better put a skirt on underneath. Once I put on my jacket and bag, the side of my dress rode up and I was really happy to be wearing that skirt!
