FYI: I do this entire blog from my Droid phone (except header pic, obviously), snatching moments out of my busy work day for quick photos. My photo sizes may be erratic, and the quality isn't stellar. I am not a professional blogger, and do not have time for lots of scenic poses with a great camera. However, I DO appreciate your continued feedback, even in the absence of photographic artistry.

More FABruary Fails

I was going to post this last night, but my internet started acting up:(

How's the FABruary Style Challenge going? Here's a hint... Monday theme: "Wear a Dress".

Hahahahahaha! I'm in sub-freezing western New York. Yeah... no dress! I did, however, grab this scarf because my sweater had creases down the front that I wanted to cover up:

I love the subtle colors in this... nice job, Mom! I decided to play off the subtle pink/purple color in the scarf:

I'm a bit sad... one of these earrings went MIA sometime during my workday. I was running around between courtrooms, so it's likely not going to be found. This color is a frequent-flyer in my wardrobe, so this loss leaves a gaping hole in my jewelry box.... Maybe I will convert the orphan earring into a pendant. Eventually.

I will take my comfort in my pretty barrette:

To finish the outfit:

While sitting in the courtroom, I noticed that the soles are coming unglued. Will Crazy Glue do the trick?

Tuesday theme: "Belt it Up". Spent in jammies, sick in bed.

Wednesday theme: "Jacket Up". Finally! Something I can do:

This teal/turquoise color is another frequent flyer in my wardrobe:

The filigree is so cute:

I got a little crazy, and went in a different direction with my barrette. I wanted to pick up the gold tones in the jewelry:



OK, this metal doesn't follow the gold theme... but I love the toe detail:

Thursday theme: "Red Lips". Not with this outfit. The way I tied the scarf only work with a buttoned jacket:

But I did try different eyeshadow! 

The earrings don't match the scarf in all the colors, but I like the way they picked up the pink:

This scarf is lovely, but a but tricky. The knot kept slipping out! I'm going to have to study up on how to tie big square scarves, I didn't do all that great today. But it's so preeetty!

Here's the messy look I wore at my desk:

I hit the Fashion Bug close-out sale, and got these pants for a buck. I will take them to the tailor, as they are looking sloppy-big. After tailoring, perhaps they won't cover my go-to shoes:

I am a bit amused how many days in a row I styled outfits using the same jacket!

  1. I think you are doing great. You have so many pretty accessories, and I am a huge fan of square scarves.

  2. Wow you are coming up with some awesome combinations, I really like the patterns in you scarf and barrette. I haven't tried crazy glue with a shoe before but it may work for you.

  3. LOVE the square scarf! Maybe you could use a brooch or something to keep it pinned at the knot? I know some people have used costume rings to loop square scarves too.

    As for hair-buttonflowers, I can absolutely sew them onto a hair tie or add hair clippies to the back. I'd probably urge you to go for a clip backing as I'm not sure how easy it would be to tie your hair up with a 'flower on the band, but I can do it either way you like. Just get in touch with me Ecc3ntriccynic[at]gmail[dot]com and I'll work something out with ya.
