Comedy Tonight!

Outfit of the day for Tues. Aug 24th, 2010. 

I love this sequin bow tie shirt from forever21 so much. It's very versatile, I've worn it long with jeggings, tucked into trousers and now with these new pants I purchased from Gap in order to dress more professional.  The blouse paired with these black skinny pants is a comical take on menswear, a trend that I love and hasn't gone away yet.  It has a real Charlie Chaplin feel.  So appropriate because tonight I am going to see some old friends from High School (drama).  All the world's a stage!!

Necklace (see below): LOFT, Blouse: Forever21, Belt: Forever21, Pants: Gap, Shoes: UGG Australia

On a side note, should I get a bob?  It would look kind of like this?

Signature Style

As previously mentioned, my style often reflects what I love most in life, music. Sometimes I’m a happy hippy, and sometimes I’m a brooding, angst ridden woman (PMS). None the less, music has always been a consistent in my life and has kept me going. Yet, I seem unfulfilled with my definition of my signature style. I often get to work and look in the mirror, “what am I wearing?”, “how old am I?”, and more often than not, “is this WORK appropriate??” Fortunately, I do have the "outfit freedom" at work, but that cannot be an excuse for me any longer.  Maybe the happy hippy in me needs to tone down, or mature. My new style objectives are to dress more professional (Monday through Friday, of course) and to ‘wow’ myself on a daily basis. Here is a (in my opinion) good, fashion forward, work appropriate outfit, featuring the green Zara pants I can’t seem to take off, as well as the Steve Madden Oxford Wedges I love oh so much (they are also super comfortable).

I also tried the sock/sandals trend... I like!

Vintage Floral

I'd like to think of my style as rock and roll meets happy hippy.  A little edgy, a little baggy anything goes.  Sometimes I surprise myself and go 100% in the opposite direction.  Today's outfit isn't a typical Lindsey get up, with a lace pale pink top, which has been all the rage this season and a vintage looking floral skirt.  These aren't the usual colors I wear, but they are quite beautiful.  I feel very girly and feminine today!

Style Theft: Part II

It's easy to be inspired by celebrities... they are rich, they have stylists, they are absolutely gorgeous! Us “regular” people don’t have it that easy, womp womp. We don’t have brands outfitting us and sending us free clothes. But alas, we too can look absolutely fabulous for less.

I was inspired by many dresses I saw at a wedding last weekend. Everybody looked radiant and so fashion forward... and didn’t spend a year’s worth of rent to do so. Check out these dresses similar to the celebs… I think us “regular” gals look better :)
 

Blake Lively's Marchesa dress doesn't hold a candle to Jenn's blue from Bloomingdales!

 

Kristen Davis' wore this one of a kind by Zac Posen for the first Sex & the City movie. The black ruffles and flowers are romantic Goth, but Cristina's dress from Forever 21 hits the nail on the head with the short length and one shoulder.

Ok, well I like Sienna's Matthew Williamson dress better... but this Bebe dress was a fantastic alternative and fit my body type.  I love her chunky black heels and belt, but I tried to compensate with an exaggerated bronze necklace and ring.

Go us!!

Romper Relief

As the heat wave in NY is sucking the life out of me, I'm finding comfort in rompers. Today I wore an adorable romper borrowed from Roe purchased from Forever21. The combo of navy and white dots with red piping play nicely with this summer’s trend of trends, nautical. Paired with red Moschino flats I like to refer to as my "Dorothy" shoes. Love.

Style Theft

This Saturday was Danielle & Christian's Wedding at the Chatea Briand in Carle Place.  It was beautiful and Danielle looked like a total princess.

My dress was from Bebe and inspired by Sienna Miller in Matthew Williamson.  I really adore the olive green color and cross ruching.  Sienna rocked an awesome chunky belt, but since I couldn't I wore an edgy bronze necklace.  Check it out!

LOFT Blouse & Necklace Combo Two Ways

I love this blouse and necklace combo I bought at the LOFT during their 40% off sale.  Here they are styled two different ways.

"Office Appropriate" with Zara pants, F21 belt and Steve Madden nude pumps.

"Flirty & Feminine" with lace H&M shorts and Steve Madden oxford wedges.

Some Old Outfits

Here are some old pics I found on my phone... sometimes when I can't decide on an outfit I take a pic and send it to RoRo.  I think this was for Glamour's Women Of The Year awards.

This was for FFANY & QVC Shoes on Sale event, although I didn't end up wearing this!

This was Halloween :-)  I was a black cat!

I loved this outfit so much I might rewear it this year (esp because we didn't even end up going out)
