Style Diary: Zac Posen for Target skirt

Ok, so I’ve given up on my grand idea to make a fortune off eBay re-selling what I thought were irresistible brocade dresses.  I learned in fact that they were resistible at least at my 99.99 starting price so I’m returning them back to Target soon.   I did however end up keeping the back-zip pleated black skirt as it was really well made and a totally different silhouette than my other, ehem, 5 black skirts haha.

Thankfully, the skirts weren’t as short on me as they were on the model in the lookbook.  Here are my latest outfits which all began with the pleated Zac Posen skirt. Other outfit details include a cloister hat by Olive Branch (bought on sale at TJMaxx), Forever 21 tank, studded heels with fuschia lining by Unlisted.com and tote from Juicy Couture.

I love the traveling fashionista print on this Forever 21 sweater tank.  The tank’s racer-back is tied with a ribbon bow too.

I used the same tote and skirt and changed up the top and shoes for the 2nd outfit below.  Can you believe my mom bought me this silly nerd blouse back in high school and I’ve kept it ever since?  I’m actually thinking about tailoring it so that it fits tighter or cutting the sleeves and creating an entirely different look all together.  Have any ideas for me?  I can’t bear to get rid of it since the nerd in me adores the pocket-protector-like notepad and pencil detail.

The white/black platform shoes are by a brand called Vivayou and they’re from Shanghai.

The below outfit features suede shoes by BCBG that I bought on sale as well as a sweater and bow headband from Forever 21.

I bought the flowers at the grocery the other day.  Having them in my bedroom makes me happy 🙂  Does anyone else randomly like to buy flowers for themselves?



Fab Finds – Razzle Dazzle at the Miu Miu store

The Miu Miu store in Soho (NYC) was all about the razzle dazzle.  Check out all the glittery and sparkling creations!  They’d make Dorothy from Wizard of Oz scream with joy.

I found myself conflicted.  The girly girl in me loved them and secretly wanted a pair.  But surely, these glittery creations would leave a trail of unwanted sparkles behind me.   I have GPS, no need for the sparkly trail.  Plus I did not want to look like an art project gone bad if I ever needed to click my heels in search of home.  So I did a little fashion research on Polyore to see if others saw these girly glittery shoes as must-haves.  Sorry Miuccia, but I felt both attracted to them at the same time ashamed to wear them.  I mean who would take me seriously wearing such silly things?  I am over the age of 10 after all…

Nonetheless, it was interesting to find the sparkly sets and see how different people used the Miu Miu shoes in their styling.  Which do you like best?  And would YOU wear these?
