Never away from my chimerical work room...

ootd

Cardigan: Sundance Catalog
Shirt: Brooks Brothers
Skirt: J.Crew
Shoes: Cole Haan

Wah! You cannot see my swanky earrings (right-hand side):

handmade earrings

(Sundry prehnite, peridot and tourmaline stones.)

The pic was from last Thursday, when I officially retired tights and boots for the season, donned a light green shirt, the aforementioned green earrings, and an updo.

Top: Sunhee Moon
Skinny belt: Sunhee Moon
Cardigan: Sundance Catalog
Skirt: J.Crew (also worn here)
Nude fishnets
Shoes: Cydwoq Category

Don't think I've taken a pic of the cardigan before, which is odd (it's not new). It's nice, actually, with more character than your average cardigan—slightly slubby knit linen, tonal embroidery, shell buttons. I don't shop at Sundance often, but some pieces I've gotten from them have lasted amazingly well (the Payton cardigan I live in, the Carnegie skirt I haul out every winter, yadda yadda...).

* Had to put something there...but it is what I'm listening to.

Well, I've got a banana and, in a pinch, you could put up some shelves.*

ootd
Top: Banana Republic (also worn here)
Cardigan: J.Crew Jackie in Pearl
Earrings: made by me (tiny freshwater pearls on gold chains)
Skirt: gifted
Light grey fishnets
Shoes: Cole Haan

I don't wear this top often, because I like it, and have seen nothing like it since I acquired it (mid-2008). I mean there have been swathes of sleeveless tops with designs in the center, and I look at them...eh...this one is special. So I've nursed it along, swapping it around with other lace tops...I have a small series:


urban outfitters lace top

j.crew lace-strip tee

j.crew bettina cami

And I'm currently idly drooling over this:
j.crew naomi top in turquoise pool
J.Crew Naomi top in Turquoise Pool

...or the Champagne one—the turquoise is less common though, eh?

* Ever try googling for quotes about bananas?

ootd

Top: J.Crew Bettina cami in Warm Taupe
Skirt: Tulle Clothing black "paper bag"
Nude micronet stockings
Shoes: Cole Haan
Earrings: made by me:

handmade hammered hoop earrrings


This outfit had commenced with a Jackie "Pearl" cardigan (worn here among several ootd pics), but it was too darn hot today to bother putting it back on for this!

Was pleased how Warm Taupe Bettina fared...I washed it out last night and hung it over the shower curtain bar so the frill dried upside-down (White Ash Bettina's frill had flopped, when dried the usual way).
