I am snowed in and I love it! Even though the main roads are pretty much plowed (I must admit, Boston does a good job during storms like this) the city has asked people to stay home if possible. I am more than happy to oblige. Plus there's really nothing better than a day to sit on the couch, surf blogs and catch up on the latest movies and fashion magazines - especially when that day is in the middle of the week. Score!! I'd like to thank J. Crew for their loungewear because that is what I will be wearing all day - at least until I
bribe someone to shovel my car out later today. When that time comes I can't promise any fabulous outfits. Sorry ladies - I haven't figured out a way to look fab, especially in heels, while shoveling three feet (thanks Mr. Plowman) of snow from around my car - but believe me, I'm working on it!

Hmm, I wonder if the mail is still running today - I'm waiting for a package from Target. I removed the door on my closet in lieu of a curtain. One, it allowed me to place my large dresser on that wall without having to deal with opening the door, and Two, it gave me better access to my small Boston closet. I plan on hanging a curtain that matches the rest of the curtains in my room, but it has been a while since I bought those curtains and now their only available online. Today would be a great day to finish my do-it-myself project. Once it's done I'll post pictures of the finished product.
One thing that the snow did do is postpone my business trip that I was packing for in the last post, so the wait for the outfit posts might be a little longer than expected, but sometimes Mother Nature has other plans. I was actually dressed to go and made my way to the airport - only to turn around and come back home. My travel outfit was cute though - comfortable enough to fly in but business enough to hit the ground running once I landed. Sorry for the lack in outfit photos but the cabbie was literally beeping outside my door as I snapped this pic (hence the scarf and the coat in the corner) - hey there's always time for at least
one picture!
I am always looking for new ways to wear old things. For one thing it's so much easier on my wallet and since this year I'm trying to be more fiscally responsible I'm sure I'll be shopping my closet that much more often. Enter this Target find. I bought this for less than $20 at the tail end of the Alice Temperley flash sale. It has covered buttons down the front 3/4 placket and covered buttons on the cuff of the sleeve. In true Alice Temperley style it has a nod to the days of classic femininity and sophistication. Only one issue - its really really really short. Because of that I've only worn it once to a friend's birthday party. Since then it's been hanging lonely in my closet. While leafing through a magazine I saw an inspiration style (note to self take a picture next time!) that showed a dress worn as a top - it looked so sophisticated so I tried my own version and I love the outcome.
The pants are J.Crew mini and add a pop of color that and they are insanely comfortable. I bought this necklace on sale two years ago from Banana Republic and the shoes are Steven by Steve Madden from Nordstrom. My watch and ring are my go to jewelry for the most part - the watch is Michael Kors and the ring is a fantastic find from TJ Maxx. I recieved so many compliments on this outfit - I'm going to have to shop my closet much more often!
