Anatomy of an Outfit: A Mish Mash

AnatomyGrey

Today is one of those unseasonably warm days that calls for a mish-mash of unrelated articles of clothing. The day itself has also been a mish of lazy coffee and slow starts mashed with interviewing a potential employee (!!!), a thought-provoking conversation over tea and scones with a new friend (but the kind of new friend you feel like you've known forever) followed by a client meeting.

All while wearing a mish-mash of clothing including a really nice puffy vest that I got for Christmas. A really nice puffy vest that my 7-year-old nephew calls a trash bag. Which just makes me love it that much more.

Vest - The Northface
Tee & Shorts - BCBG
Leggings - Who knows
Boots - Fiorentini & Baker


P.S. The old Anatomy of an Outfit chalkboard wall is now covered by my bed (a new one is going up shortly). And my cowhide was taken from me by my brother while he was home for Christmas - he had loaned it to me. For like... 2 years. Shouldn't there be a statute of limitations on loans like that?

You have the best boots.

I just felt a little pang of sadness over that cow rug - totally with you on the "borrowing statute of limitations."

Have you set a date for tackling the black living room yet? I'm dying to see it [should you decide to do it of course!]

That is so funny that your nephew calls your vest a trash bag. I have this coat from Banana Republic that I recently wore to a tea outing. My girlfriend told me, "Oh my god! You have a trash bag coat, too!!"
They're the best!

I think you've got a good start on your badass girl theme!

Caroline - I don't have a date set! I've been thinking maybe I should do just one wall at a time? See how I like it? Ha.

Francine - Thanks! I've been actually dressing for the post-apocalypse for a couple years now. When I buy a new article of clothing I ask myself "will this allow me to kick zombie ass?" if the answer is yes and I love it, I buy it. Now I just need the muscles to match. ;)

There should absolutely be a statute of limitations of that kind of thing!

Gah, those boots! :)

I think one day you should just wear me. Then take a picture.

i would like to be your friend in real life. have i mentioned that before??

Ashley - DONE.

Carly - Yes! Let's! I need to do a Tour de Canada of all my favorite Canadians. Can I crash on your couch? ;)

You are adorable. I am always glad I hop by!
