In my element

My sweetie husband needed to go back to bed in the wee hours of this morning as I headed off to work, so I took along our little Canon PowerShot digital camera just in case. And yay, I was thankful that a colleague and friend [one who knows about my style blog, shhhhh] agreed to snap a pic of my outfit this morning. And bonus, y’all also get to see me in my element — a sneak peek at my personal office in the library!

Just me and my office

I took this closeup after work. This style is so easy! A high ponytail, secure it with elastic, wrap the ends around the base of the ponytail, and pin. Love it!

When? October 24, 2012

What for? Work, work, work. Gotta admit, I felt super-cute today! This denim skirt — featured in my post about the fall fashion swap — has found a good home in my closet, and I am returning the love. I almost wore my beloved argyle sweater by itself (more sweater love here), but at the last minute, the orange gingham called out to me. And I answered. :D

Details?

  • Denim skirt:  Fashion swap!
  • Gingham camp shirt:  Old Navy, free, shopping deets here
  • Argyle sweater:  Smart Set, yeeeeears ago on a trip to PEI
  • Textured tights:  Ummmm… Target?
  • Boots:  Nine West, years ago (and eek! I discovered this morning they’re cracking on the inside, I’ve worn them so much… I might be in the market for new boots soon)

    Great pattern mixing! Maybe I’ll add gingham to my post for next week on pattern mixing.

    Also, nice office :-) You should get yourself a tripod for those days when the hubby can’t play photographer.

      Thanks, Erin! Yes, I love gingham as a staple for pattern-mixing. Tripods… yes, I get it and the added flexibility, but being honest with myself, I am far too lazy to go through with it. I’m skittish enough with my husband there as photographer! I am sure I would hurt myself diving out of the way of passerby if I took photos of myself by myself. ;)
