I literally laughed aloud when I just uploaded today's outfit photos. You see, today's photos were taken this morning - something we hadn't previously tried. Since I knew I was going to be heading straight to dinner and a movie after work (hence the jeans and casual outfit), I asked Jarod to take pictures this morning. I honestly thought, "I will look fresh and young and rested since I'm not taking these at the end of the day."

One of those errands involved Old Navy, and a 30% Friends and Family discount.<br /><br />Good (read: bad) things happen when I run an errand in Old Navy. Especially with a discount in hand.<br /><br />A purple wide-wale corduroy waistcoat happens, for example. As you shall see later.<br /><br />Also, a new denim knee-length skirt happens:<br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4939681058_a651e7731d.jpg" /img src><br />It's so I don't have to wear the same one every day. Mix it up a bit!<br /><br />And then there's an airy woven tunic thingy:<br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/4939678674_4f4bc14512.jpg" /img src><br /><br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4118/4939679512_190580b4c7.jpg" /img src><br />($8.99 on clearance!)<br /><br />Oh, and a cute little ruffled henley:<br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4939680266_de6a67151f.jpg" /img src><br />Look at me, all explorin' outside the box! Shaddup. It's a big step. For me.<br /><br />And because we can't be *too* adventurous, we end up in Grey Cardigan Land.<br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4939676540_13176bc20f.jpg" /img src><br />But it fits perfectly, and was only $7!<br /><br />Why buy one cardigan, when you can buy *two*?!<br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4075/4939091569_d6a03f8cb8.jpg" /img src><br />This one is different, though. 'Cause it's purple. And lace. And cropped. And $11.<br /><br />After leaving Old Navy, I decided to inflict some damage at the adjacent Marshall's. To the tune of $7 pumps:<br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4939673342_89ab504958.jpg" /img src><br /><br />Which I wore today and... ::shudder::. Glad I didn't pay more than $7 for them!<br /><br />Oh, and a Talbots skirt:<br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4078/4939096063_9b2c94704e.jpg" /img src><br /><br />It may not look like much now, but I can tell ya that it's the *perfect* length to pair with <a href="http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w[0]=gender%3Awomen&w[1]=attribute%3ABoot&pp=1&view=detail&p=9&colourID=2607">these beauties</a>.<br /><br />Ssh! Don't tell Jeff I'm already planning outfits, OK?<br /><br />Goodwill was my last stop, and I tried on a *bunch* of stuff but only came away with one item:<br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4939674912_0b66fac066.jpg" /img src><br />We shall see. It's a bit tight, and it needs a slip, but that grey floral print is just so charming, and the color's so bright and cheery! Worth a shot at $2, yes?<br /><br />::contented sigh::<br /><br />Oh! I almost forgot! Sunday night I had a work function to attend, and it was really casual. So I test-drove a couple of my new pieces:<br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4095/4941073523_7e452efcaa.jpg" /img src><br />I felt like major hotness!<br /><br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4120/4941659684_9fbea055cd.jpg" /img src><br />Yeah, this one will definitely be repeated at some point.<br /><br />Top: Old Navy<br />Tank: who knows?<br />Skirt: Old Navy<br />Belt: Target, 2008<br />Sandals: Sofft, 2009<br />Necklace: super old<br />Earrings: Kirksville Farmer's Market, circa 2006<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1635054610002975729-4126991186098095690?l=www.twoclosets.com' alt='' /></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10690174397677362746noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635054610002975729.post-44626381264186766612010-08-30T18:41:00.002-05:002010-08-30T18:45:27.512-05:00One picture day, though that does *not* accurately reflect how I felt about this outfit:<br /><br /><img src ="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4137/4942955375_743beba317.jpg" /img src><br /><br />I LOVED THIS. So cute. So fun. I've been wanting a waistcoat for *ages* and I finally got one and it's purple and corduroy and happy and it's everything I hoped for and more! I think wearing a puffy shirt under it may be my new favorite.<br /><br />The shoes though? NOT my new favorite. They killed my feet ded. I kicked them off as soon as I walked in the door and my feet were so swollen they looked like they belonged on a 45-year-old obese WalMart shopper with a pair or yorkies and a pink scrunchie in her bleach-blond hair.<br /><br />Which is my way of saying: in this case, you get what you pay for.<br /><br />Skirt: GAP, super old<br />Top: Old Navy, 2009<br />Waistcoat: Old Navy, 2010<br />Heels: Madden Girl via Marshall's, 2010<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1635054610002975729-4462638126418676661?l=www.twoclosets.com' alt='' /></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10690174397677362746noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635054610002975729.post-88062887573511698262010-08-30T18:24:00.004-05:002010-08-30T18:26:43.036-05:00It's a fine line between "dressing to suit your body type" (good) and "dressing to hide self-perceived but invisible flaws" (bad), isn't it? You know what I mean?<br /><br />I wonder which side of the line I'm on? What is it about buying a loose shirt that feels so awkward, but cinching it with a waistcoat feels so comfortable? And in what bizarre world are black heels a daring adventure, but pink cowboy boots aren't?<br /><br />This is...odd. But fun.<br /><br />I need to find a way to show off my newfound toned legs. Something a bit more mature than a micromini a la 2004, perhaps.<br /><br /><3<br />Kate<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1635054610002975729-8806288757351169826?l=www.twoclosets.com' alt='' /></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10690174397677362746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635054610002975729.post-12351995655392032822010-08-27T21:46:00.000-05:002010-08-27T21:47:08.627-05:00<i>Jen's Favorites:</i><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.frugal-fashionistas.com/2010/08/eva-mendes-goes-retro.html" target="new">Pretty!</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://kendieveryday.blogspot.com/2010/08/plain-jane.html" target="new">Pretty, too!</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Kate's Favorites:</div><br />I can't wait 'till my hair is long enough to <a href="http://thespohrsaremultiplying.com/hair/super-easy-side-fish-tail-braid/">braid</a>!<br /><br />::<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/alreadypretty/~3/ZiP3O0R1gNc/this-week-i-love_18.html">drool</a>::<br /><br />LOVE <a href="http://stylishwhitefemale.tumblr.com/post/929129883">this ensemble</a> from SWF!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1635054610002975729-1235199565539203282?l=www.twoclosets.com' alt='' /></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16436264104460925299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635054610002975729.post-29378098687976153882010-08-27T21:22:00.002-05:002010-08-27T21:26:31.205-05:00I had lunch with Jarod today, and he managed to compliment my outfit 3 times in one hour.

I'm realizing that I really love this type of skirt - is it technically a pencil skirt or does it need to be more form-fitting? I don't know. Whatever type of skirt this is, I like it.

I don't think this outfit is too terrible as my default. I love this color, and it's comfortable. But I know, I know - I'm supposed to be stepping outside of my comfort zone and experimenting and having fun with my clothes. I need some inspiration! Or important people visiting the office! As it happens, important people are visiting the office tomorrow and Friday, so you're guaranteed no jeans for at least the next 2 days.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4139/4927843089_095a60b535_z.jpg" width="400" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4142/4928438736_888a6d2bd1.jpg" width="400" /><div><br /></div><div>Shirt: Nordstrom Rack</div><div>Jeans: Nordstrom Rack</div><div>Necklace: Thrifted</div><div>Sandals: Tory Burch via Nordstrom</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1635054610002975729-8971740997043989986?l=www.twoclosets.com' alt='' /></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16436264104460925299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635054610002975729.post-6443010466312532422010-08-24T21:08:00.002-05:002010-08-24T21:10:29.660-05:00I'm still too traumatized for a proper post.<br /><br />You see, today they assembled all 1oo+ people in our department for the semi-annual Department Staff Photo Extravaganza.
