Here's a litte peek at my current home with this outfit post! The longer daylight hours were cooperating that day, but the weather was still frigid. I'm hoping it will actually feel like spring in New England by the time I get home from my time in San Francisco! (Please excuse the whacky part on my hair in these pictures!)<br />

Conventional wisdom indicates that a top with puffy sleeves and shoulder pads is just wrong. But my newfound love for thrifting and of elements of 80's and 90's fashion throws that idea out the window. I mixed this top with the more current baroque-style pants and my favorite geometric jewelry to give it a more modern edge. But as Heidi Klum told us in last weeks' Project Runway, going all the way 80's is just wrong. (Seriously, two of my favorite designers there created a strapless gold prom dress with the bottom 18 inches <i>covered</i> in ruffles. Shudder.)<br />

This <a href="http://www.mikhailglabets.com/blog/">wonderful man</a> is away at a photography conference in Vegas this week, so I'm putting him on the blog to make it seem like he's not actually that far away. Yeah, I know. It doesn't really work that way. But he deserves some air time on here, because he's awesome and takes my photos for the blog. Oh, and he's darn cute and has some serious style. He's a huge Bonobos fan and has a talent for thrifting some serious treasures. Like the sweater he's wearing in this post. But not that hat, because that Russian fur gem has been in his family for some time, and he just dug it up from our basement. Anyways, he's a real keeper!<br />

I know it happened a million years ago, but this is what I wore for the Oscar party we attended. Not exactly an evening gown, but definitely more dressed up than I get on a regular basis. Oh, and this dress was definitely wayyyy more low cut than I typically prefer, so I remedied that with this bright scarf. Works every time. </div>

Ya'll are probably sick of hearing me (and every blogger out there) talk about impending weather changes, but I want winter to know just how unwelcome it is here. I'm being gracious, though, and giving winter-only items like this flannel shirt a few last opportunities to see the light of day.<br />
<br />
In all seriousness, though, this L.L.Bean shirt was part of major thrifting bounty in January. It reminds me of the fabulous plaids that J.Crew had been putting out this season, but was way more appealing with its $5 price tag. This is one thing I will miss about winter: it's easier to find large and cozy sweaters and flannels at thrift stores than it is scoring the cute dresses I live in come the warmer weather. Any suggestions? Should I learn some alteration skills or what?<br />
<br />
Oh, and this is how I feel when I think about spring coming:<br />

<br />
And then I see photos like this, and think, yes, that I can do, and that I love.<br />

I noticed style surrounding New York Fashion Week can be so outlandish, but I love the more refined, minimalist sensibilities of these European fashionistas. They look so cool and understated and not like they spent hours dressing to catch a photographer's eye.<br />
<br />
Anyways, here's my interpretation.<br />

You can't really get more basic than jeans, a sweater, and a good wool coat, but that photo from The Sartorialist was a reminder of just how chic that combination can be.<br />

<br />
So what do I do? Start buying some spring clothes already. I feel like I've been accruing dresses for the last six years, so I switched my focus to fun pants. Here's what I came up with:<br />

I've been searching for some styling inspiration for these, since they're not my typical wardrobe item, and Pinterest has turned up lots of treasures!<br />
<br />
I love how this pair is styled with a two-tone neutral sweater, some classic black pumps, and almost no jewelry. The minimalist styling really lets the print of the pants shine.<br />

I can't wait until the spring weather is here to cooperate with these looks. Bare toes and short sleeves are not a match for the snow. The silver lining, though? This look from Laura of <a href="http://www.ontheracks.com/">On The Racks</a> has plenty of inspiration for styling up my printed pants for winter, with the right amount of layers and booties! </div>

I absolutely saw an outfit similar to this in Lucky Magazine, and was excited to recreate with pieces I already owned. And I'm not the least bit ashamed of that. Why not take inspiration wherever you can get it?<br />

<br />
This jacket comes from my grandmother, who passed away four years ago. It's been in my closet in Connecticut since then, because I was a waitress and a college student and there was no place for fur in my life at the time. When I started seeing more fur and faux fur pieces on bloggers and in my Pinterest feed, I knew it was time to dust this off. Maybe it's cheesy that I needed to see others wearing similar things in order to get the confidence to pull this out, but, hey, that's what happened. I'm just thankful that I can remember my grandmother by physically wearing something of hers, and dreaming up what events she must have worn this to back in the day.<br />

A cozy cardigan paired with a bright top is a uniform of sorts for me. This particular tank was winterized with this thick knit sweater. You can see the fall version of this look <a href="http://onetwosummer.blogspot.com/2012/09/fall-prep.html">here</a>.<br />

I wore this outfit on one of those balmy 40ish degree days a couple weeks ago. The good news is that weather is allegedly making a comeback today. It's still not spring, though, and this outfit sure makes me wish it were.<br />

Yes this outfit has the same color scheme as the Greenbay Packers, and no, I'm not a fan. I just think a slouchy sweater and a short swingy skirt make for a winning combo. Whatcha think?<br />

<br />
Taking pictures is basically impossible in the winter time. Because I hate mornings and leave myself exactly 20 minutes to get out the door, which means we're lucky if everything is buttoned properly and I have mascara on. And it gets dark at roughly 2pm in Boston during this time of the year.<br />
<br />
Truthfully, I don't really love having photo shoots in my kitchen at 10pm when my day finally slows down, when I could instead be catching up on Downton Abbey (SHHHH, I'm only on Seasons 2), planning what awesome recipe I'm going to make from this new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Smitten-Kitchen-Cookbook-Perelman/dp/030759565X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358307365&sr=8-1&keywords=smitten+kitchen">cookbook</a>, hanging out with my husband, or just enjoying life unplugged.<br />
<br />
And I don't want to write one of those posts that sounds something like "Five Faux Fur Vests I'm Dying to Have," or "10 Baroque Print Pants You Must Buy Now" or "37 Ways to Spend Money Because I Told You So." Because that ultra commercial, you-must-buy-into-this-trend-now-to-feel-worthwhile side of blogging is bothers me, and is not why I'm here. I started this little thing as a way to revisit my interest in the art of putting together an outfit and developing a personal style, and I don't think you need to spend a ton of money all the time to do that.<br />
<br />
So you will see photos from me again when I adventure out into the daylight with Mikhail and his camera again :).<br />
<br />
But in other news, these wedge sneakers have made their way to <a href="http://bit.ly/XczPBw">Target</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img1.targetimg1.com/wcsstore/TargetSAS//img/p/14/13/14139810_120808043000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img1.targetimg1.com/wcsstore/TargetSAS//img/p/14/13/14139810_120808043000.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And I'm confused. At first I thought they were awesome, and I love how bloggers like <a href="http://www.sincerelyjules.com/">Jules</a> style the original <a href="http://bit.ly/XczPBw">Isabel Marant pair</a> with <a href="http://www.sincerelyjules.com/2012/08/coolin-out.html">dresses</a> and other girly things to take the dainty edge off. The very similar knockoff (<a href="http://bit.ly/W5qVH2">Steve Madden Hilight</a>) costs $150, which is still too much for me to spend on something that does not have staying potential likely after this season. So I was seriously considering taking <a href="http://www.manrepeller.com/2012/10/retroactivity.html">Leandra's advice</a> here, and going for the more classic <a href="http://bit.ly/W5rjW2">Nike sneaker</a> (see below), which she says is the stripped down source of this wedge sneaker craziness.<br />
<br />
But Target's sub-$40 price tag makes the wedges something I'm OK with buying and wearing mostly just this year.<br />
<br />
What's one to do? Bite the bullet on the Target pair and wear them to death? Or hold out for something more classic (and quality) and resist the trendiness? I'm torn and I want your thoughts!<br />

This sweater was one of my favorite thrifted finds yet. The pattern perplexes me—is it part of a family crest? Does it have pineapples without the spikes? Deer? Mermaids?<br />
<br />
Either way, it's complexity demands simple styling: my favorite jeans and black boots. Following Coco Chanel's advice ("Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.”) was a must here.<br />

One thing I've learned in the past 10 months of this blog is that getting pictures of your outfits taken is awkward (yes, I fully get that I choose to put myself through this). So awkward that I find the need to make odd dance moves and strange faces, and many of those are caught on camera. As well as the gawky in-between poses and movements. Things you wish no one ever saw.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I think they tell a funny story of the year on this blog, so rather than doing one of those pretty, polished year-in-review photo grids, I decided to pull some bloopers and share a thought on each. Hope you get a good laugh like I did!</div>

I would normally balk at sticking a shiny pink & grey blazer, lace top, and black baroque print pants all in one outfit. But I couldn't find the right dress to wear to my office holiday party earlier this month (all my dresses are suited for the summer months), and this combination seemed to provide just the right dressy feel. I've since stocked up on some more season appropriate dresses, and I guess will have to wait until next year's office soiree to sport them. Unless any of you has a fancy party you'd like to invite me to? </div>

I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago for the first-ever Christmas party my husband and I hosted at our home (the shoes were one of my <a href="http://onetwosummer.blogspot.com/2012/11/resist-temptation.html">very thoughtful Black Friday purchases</a>). So I thought I'd reprise it on the blog tonight to say Merry Christmas Eve! Oh, and to announce the winners of the <a href="http://onetwosummer.blogspot.com/2012/12/jewelry-giveaway-with-joyo.html#comment-form">Joyo giveaway</a>: congratulations Lauren & Alexandra!!<br />

<br />
Last month when I scored some crazy deals at J.Crew, I got another big bonus: styling inspiration from the sales associate who rang me out. She wore a cute cowl neck sweater layered over a button down shirt. I had never thought to do much with a cowl neck, but after seeing this, I was excited to pull similar pieces from my own closet to recreate the look. I love the new life that layering gives to old wardrobe pieces.<br />
