Style Diary – Cardigan + Dress

The cardi + dress combo has become my work uniform as of late.  It allows me to follow the dress code (no bare shoulders allowed-yea I’m serious.) It allows me to put a professional spin on my otherwise girlier dresses, and tight cardigans don’t bulk me up too much despite the layering.  Below are a few examples from the past week or so.

  • purse – miu miu (bought at Barney’s winter sale)
  • sleeveless brown dress – Ann Taylor
  • cardigan – Express (bought on sale)
  • leopard belt – vintage
  • shoes – lovely people
  • gold chain necklace – can’t remember where I bought this but it was a steal
  • ring – bought at off 5th
  • dress – Tracy Reese
  • leopard print stilettos – Hoshoe
  • cardigan -Merona (bought at Target)
  • belt – Gucci
  • tote – Fendi
  • red leather heels with leopard lining – Hoshoe
  • puff-sleeved cardigan – H&M
  • ruffle dress – Betsey Johnson (bought at a consignment store)
  • suede slingback – Bruno Magli
  • stretch belt – vintage

Style Diary – Shoe Closet

Now that I’ve moved, I’ve lost my beloved bedroom wall where I had placed a custom quote shown below.   It was frequently used for my Chictopia outfit pics  Lately with my move I’ve been relegated to whatever area had the least amount of unpacked boxes in the background, thus the series of work outfits shot at my front door. I’m excited that my mini-makeover project has been completed.  My once, cheap Ikea, floor-to-ceiling shoe closet is now a fab, fuschia photo opp!  See my before and after below and let me know what you think!

Unfortunately, this is the only shot I have of my before version but you can see the plain wood background before I painted it.

Here is my after!

Yes, I AM the Korean Imelda Marcos!
