NYE BITCHES!

Well, my friends, it is time for 365 outfits a year to come to an end. Yes, that’s right, this year long project is officially over!

We put on our fancy pants tonight to not only celebrate my final day of outfit photos, but to also celebrate the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011!

A few of us gathered at Alicias to ring in the New Year, then Chad and I scooted over to our friends Nori and Jeremy’s for even more New Years fun.

Even though we didn’t go out anywhere ‘special’ I still wanted to make an party out of it. In seeing as how this is my last outfit photo of the year, I should go out with a bang, right?!

Thank you, my loves, for reading my blog over the past year. It has meant a lot to me!

I know I have crazy ideas, but I’m glad I went though with this one.

It was definitely a fun year!

Blogging at this particular site will cease, but regular blogging will take place at smellydanielly.com

This project has really inspired me to look at fashion differently, so I will be including fashion posts @ smellydanielly.com. If you want to keep following my journey, please change your links!

Holiday Parties!

These pictures came out quite dark and I’m not really sure why. I was really excited about this outfit but these pictures suck. Sad Face :(

Two Christmas parties this evening. One with family and one with friends. Both turned out to be quite fun, which is always a bonus! Ha!

I am wearing a Black Lace Dress from Plum. We made this back in ’07 or ’08 for Holiday. I never bought it but when my Mom and I saw it on Boxing Day we decided to buy it and share it! I totally forgot about it until it was time to think about what to wear to this party. Mom suggested and it and I was so excited! I love this dresses. I don’t know what took me so long to wear it!

The dress is made of black lace and has cap sleeves. It is very simple and is basically a shift dress, with only small bust darts to give it shape. Since lace is see through, it came with a black slip to wear underneath. It is the simplest of designs but the lace is so beautiful, it just stands on its own.

I had to wear a sweater with it because I was feeling a little under the weather and I didn’t know how warm it would be at the parties. I chose a purple cropped sweater from Off the Wall.

A simple silver necklace with charms, black tights, and black boots completed the look. I usually go for heels, but this time I figured I would get out of ‘MY’ box and wear a pair of boots.

I love this dress and I can’t wait to wear it again!

Where Has My Photographer Gone?

Weird work hours and afternoon adventures has left me photographer-less a little to often this last little while. You can guarantee when I stand in front of the coffee table it means I have no one to take my photo. It doesn’t help that I don’t have a tri-pod also and have to prob up my camera on the table.

Today’s outfit is kind of an out there attempt at doing something different. I grabbed all these pieces randomly, put them on, didn’t hate them, but didn’t love them, and just thought ‘why the hell not!’.

Looking at these pictures now, this outfit doesn’t look too CRAZY, but I felt crazy as I wore it.

Everything here is from Plum, minus the  necklace which is from Forever 21.

I guess feeling crazy and looking crazy aren’t always the same thing :S

When It All Comes Together

I am obsessed with this outfit! Sometimes simple things come together in such a good way.

Even though its cold and I probably shouldn’t be wearing a tank top, the colour just screamed at me this morning and I had to put it on. I just love this colour. I layered it with a White tank top to ad some colour dimension and to keep me a tiny bit warm.

This leopard sweater from Plum was the perfect piece for today. It’s just so beautiful and stylish and I feel like someone important when I wear it. It is such a nice leopard print too, not something tacky.

I kept my lower half pretty simple. Black Denim Leggings and Black Steve Madden Boots – from Army & Navy!

A nice and easy silver necklace and my hair pinned back and I feel like a movie star.

Oh la la!

The Night of the Pizza with out Potatoes

We had a four some with Adam and Alicia tonight. And by four some I mean we watched hockey and ate pizza while wearing work apparel. The sight of seeing Chad and Adam in work suits sitting on the couch eating pizza is just funny to me.

Todays outfit was inspired by this top that I also bought at H&M in Italy. Its a very simple scoop neck striped T with rouched sleeves. I’ve been avoiding the ‘attention to shoulder’ trend given the fact that mine are so ‘large’, but when I saw this top, I just had to have it.

Something about it screamed – RETRO – to me, so I had to dress it up with a 70s feel.

I wore the T-Shirt tucked into a pair of flared Dish jeans with a leather belt I bought at the Florence Leather Market. A simple long silver chain and black boots completed the look.

I must say I am totally obsessed with 1) the top, 2) tucking it in, and 3) the way the brown belt looks.

I know this isn’t something that is totally ‘out there’, but its definitely not something I would usually put together.

Score 5 points for experimenting with looks!

Day THREE HUNDRED

You mean, I only have 65 more days to go!? Woot Woot!

In celebrating of my 300th day, I didn’t wear flat shoes to work. Hahaha! So lame, I know!

To be honest, I didn’t even realize today was day 300, but it is, so let us celebrate!

This whole outfit consists of old pieces, remixed to make something new, with a new pair of shoes.

The White tank top is from Plum, and acts as a great layering piece under my stripped shear Chocolate Plum T. One of my favorite knit tops I have from Plum. I love the texture in the fabric and the cut of the neckline. I paired this with my Navy Denim Leggings from Mavi, and then threw on a teal sweater from Kersh. The mixture of Teal & Chocolate always makes me happy!

A simple silver necklace kept my neckline open but eye catching.

As for my shoes, I got these babies on sale from Spring! I love the colour, I love that they are a wedge, and I love the little stud details.

Happy 300th Day of the Year!

Just a Giant Green Box

How can you have a normal conversation with someone when you are wearing a giant green poncho? It is very difficult, let me tell you, and I was the one wearing the poncho.

I’m not really sure if it is a poncho. It’s kind of attached under the arm, but only by a little bit. I dunno, I’m going to call it a poncho.

I saw this in Italy while shopping at OVS. It was my first Italian purchase. I know it kind of looks goofy, especially in the 2nd picture where I made it look like a giant green box, but I was really attracted to the colour and the coziness of it. I am preparing for snow fall.

I saw it, I thought about it for 20 minutes, and I went back and bought it. It only really took up 1/4 of the suitcase, but it’s worth it, right?

I chose to wear a black 3/4 sleeve knit top underneath so that I wouldn’t be totally naked, cold, and awkward. I then paired it with my Yoga jeans and Fryes. I think it kind of works, if I was planning to go hunting in the Summer and I wanted to blend into the trees.

Sometimes, you just have to have fashion adventures.

We Don’t Know the Meaning of Relaxation

Look at that, I’m actually in a tank top! Yes, it’s true, the afternoon was quite warm today. Chads parents left this morning, so we got to spend the day ‘somewhat’ relaxing. A few visits here and there, but compared to all the other days, it was relaxing.

Hello Giant Grandpa Sweater!

This is the start of my last week of work. I AM EXCITED!

Things have been wrapping up quite nicely, I just need to find more time to finish up on the last few things at home. Hopefully I can get all that done with little to no stress.

We had dinner at the rents again, so Chad and Dad could finish up on their wine making before departing. I ended up bringing over all my ironing and did it while I waited. Smart move!

So, you can see that this sweater on, looks much different then it laid out on a carpet. It’s very drapy and over sized, but the 3/4 length sleeves add great style to it. It does feel a bit to encompassing, so I will probably wear it open next time, but I still think it’s a great style.

It worked well paired with a simple white V-neck T and grey leggings. My shoes still need some work, but I will definitely be changing that this Fall.

The necklace I love, because it reminds me of a Tiffany’s necklace, with out having to shell out major money.

I really like today’s look.

Hair Monster

My head is a little disheveled today. I was not aware of the fact I looked like this :s

One week until we leave! I am at the half way point at work where I am just about over the hump of all the piles of work, and am slowly climbing to the finish line. It feels really good to get some much done and so much organized for everyone. It’s actually been quite fun, minus the stress!

My favorite colour scheme alert!

White T with my ‘long in the front – short in the back’ striped sweater paired with my distressed Dish Jeans and Birkenstocks.

I wore my chain and pearl necklace which makes so much noise when you move. It got very annoying by the end of the day.

I feel like if my hair was not lion-esque, this outfit might have been a little better. But then again, who am I kidding.
