I’ve been watching Cyn work her amazing collection of jumpsuits for years now, and she’s always looked so fantastically chic and happy in them. I stumbled upon this one while tracking down and item for an online style consult client, fell in love immediately, waited a couple of months, finagled a coupon code, and pounced. Although I doubt it will get weekly wear, I love how it fits and feels and if I throw a sweater over the top half it just looks like a pair of slouchy printed pants so it’s at least a little bit versatile. (Mine is a size Large and I’m typically a size 8 dress, so definitely runs small.) read more

Argyle sweater – thrifted – similar
Gingham shirt – thrifted – similar
Jeans – Gap (no longer available) – similar
Booties – Lucky Brand via eBay – similar
Necklaces – thrifted and courtesy SBG Designs
Bracelets – clothing swap – similar
Earrings – Realia by Jen
Bag – Rebecca Minkoff Logan Crossbody via eBay

I’ll admit it: I stole this outfit directly from a Land’s End catalog page. Although they showed a red argyle cardigan instead of a pullover and black mocs instead of booties, the rest is verbatim. I’d be ashamed for my blatant outfit plagiarism except that I was so dumbfounded to find that I had the exact pieces already in my wardrobe, two of them thrifted. I mean really, what are the chances? read more

Dressed for: Brights and Braids

Wool moto – Gap (no longer available) – a few on eBay – similar look
Dress – Nanette Lepore courtesy Dalitka
Tights – Spanx
Boots – ECCO Sculptured 65
Cashmere scarf – gift – similar
Bag – Rebecca Minkoff Logan Crossbody via eBay
Earring – BGB Jewelry

I’m trying my best to bring some bright colors back into rotation as we plow through the dead of winter, and this nearly neon moto is definitely helping. It’s several months old, but since it is constructed from a sturdy, lined, boiled wool it is earning its keep as a great option for subzero days. read more
