Layer Cake & Winning

I would like to preface this post by making serval comments about the weather, but I’ve banned myself from talking about the weather on my blog because 1. I do it way to much and 2. Hello? SNORE! Who wants to read about the weather?

Since I can’t seem to shake this feeling of total closet boredom AND I’ve sewn on more buttons in the last month than the entire past years of my life combined…I thought I would try a new tactic at spicing things up (and no, dear husband, it’s not to be “sluttier” as you so helpfully suggested).

My outfit plan here was to layer on many items at once in the hope that their combined effort would create an look that felt fresh and new. Goal achieved? Perhaps, the jury’s sill out.

PS – It was a cold day (where did my sunshine go??) and the layers kept me nice and cozy. Ah ha ha ha. Couldn’t resist.

Congrats to Kristen, the winner of the Lustrous Elements Giveaway! Thanks so much to everyone that entered and uber-duber (that’s really big) thanks to the lovely Erin for sharing her gorgeous creations!

Outfit Details: Mex cream top, TNA sweater, French connection blazer, Gap pants, Aldo shoes, Karen Walker sunnies, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag

    Love your layered look. I think you achieved your goal! It’s been chilly in Chicago, maybe I’ll give layering a try this week. I’m bored with my coats… Thanks for the inspiration. :)

    Ha ha ha! I do love your sense of humour Nat. All men think alike then!

  6. Very cute outfit, and I like your husbands comment. LOL.

  7. I am with you on the weather…I am desperately seeking sunshine.
    My antidote to boredom with my clothes is to scarf it up big time.

    Hm “slutty clothes” that’s another kind of blog altogether :-))

    P.S. I am so with you on the weather! We live in the Seattle area and spring tempted us with 2 days of sweet sunshine and are now back to grey rainy days.
