Houndstooth Black and White

KNOCKERS
Today I wore a graphic houndstooth black and white zipped jacket, covering a ribbed black Alfani dress, over black patterned tights with black flat riding boots. I was feeling pretty good about my look until i got to work and saw that several coworkers woke up with same fashion inspiration. I played “Who wore it best?” all day, and of course, I won – at least in my own mind.

Cool Neutrals

KNOCKERS
Wearing cool neutrals can be just as fun as wearing hot colors. I knocked my vintage (if you can call a 1996 Target dress vintage), beige and white polka dot dress with a beige and chocolate shoe; but I immediately imagined many more combinations. How would you knock your neutral?

KNOCKERS

Today was my “Saturday Run Around” outfit. I’m wearing black Jordache ( yes, I said Jordache) jeans I picked up on whim from WAL-MART.

I topped my bottoms with a black sleeveless Target t-shirt (the shoulders have a lacy insert), a yellow and white polka dot sweater and ankle strap ballet slippers from Nordstrom’s Rack.

VERDICT: My thrift store sweater received many compliments!

Heeled Oxfords

KNOCKERS:

Have you ever created your outfit for the day, starting with your shoes?

I absolutely love these brown and grey Bandolino heeled Oxfords that I picked up for a steal at Ross Stores and don’t get to wear them often enough.

Standing Out

KNOCKERS!

Success Outside the Dress Code

So I guess the goal is to stand out from the crowd but not really?!

Well, here’s me standing out from the crowd in my $7 black and grey multi-colored thrift store find made by New York and Company and my black Coach boots.

First Day of Spring

KNOCKERS!

The 1st day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere is March 20, 2014!

Spring is slowly peeping through the last dark days of Winter, and so am I.

Today I decided to KNOCK my dark chocolate Jones New York business suit with a burst of cheerful yellow ruffled sleeveless 21Forever blouse; accompanied with chocolate patterned hose and my chocolate BCBG Girl heels.

St. Patrick’s Day

KNOCKERS!

In the grand old American tradition of cultural appropriation in the name of fashion (and the fear of being pinched), I knocked together a “cullaith éadaigh” (suit of clothing) in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day.

Did you know that green is the national color of Ireland? And that wearing the color green to avoid being pinched is an American only tradition? (Thanks Wikipedia) Americans – we like to think of inventive ways to touch each other inappropriately.

The blouse is by MaxStudio and the skirt from H&M.
