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!

Work Shmerk

I was definitely not ready to go back to work today. I envy those who get all of the Christmas break off work. Not that three days in a half dead office is difficult, but I’d much rather be sitting on the couch with a cup of tea.

I know that this is the last official week of the project, and I probably should put some sort of effort into my outfits, but honestly, I am so exhausted!

Today I look like a rocked our farm worker. I kind of like it actually.

I layered a long white T with my Plaid Boyfriend blouse from Plum. I then wore my 3/4 sleeve Kersh Boyfriend sweater over top and rolled up the cuffs to match.

Dish motorcycle jeans, faux fryes, and my hair in a braid and I am ready to milk the cows.

I guess deep down inside, I’m kind of rugged.

Merry Christmas!!!

Today was busy and filled with lots of family, food, and gifts!

We were up early so we could open each others gifts, and then head to Chads parents house for Christmas breakfast. This meant I only got 5 hours sleep, so I was a little lacking in energy today! Back home for an afternoon nap and then off to my parents for Christmas dinner.

Christmas for me, is about running around in comfort, I’ll let Christmas Eve be the time to dress up fancy!

Blue Plum Cardi
Black Mavi Denim Leggings

The scarf is a gift from my dearest friend Shazzi, whos Mom made it for me! Best gift ever! I wore it all day and was kept so warm and cozy. I LOVE IT!

Hope you guys all had awesome Christmas’!

CHRISTMAS EVE!

Well, I’ve made it to Christmas Eve. That is always a good sign!

Chad and I did a bit of running around today and then headed off to Church for Midnight  Mass. No fancy dinner or parties tonight, just quite times.

Can you see all the presents packed up and ready to take to Chads parents house tomorrow morning? We are so prepared!

My outfit for this evening didn’t happen, so what you are looking at is outfit number 2. Remember when I talked about all my Plum skirts being too long, and I had to hem a bunch in the Summer? Well, I left the pencil skirts thinking they would be ok, but the truth is, they are not ok. I’m going to need to hem those too :S

So, my Christmas Eve outfit consist of a Purple Tank Top for Bootlegger, Leopard Sweater from Plum, Stripped Pencil Skirt from Plum, Leggings, and Black heels from Aldo.

The silver belt and small silver necklace are also Plum purchases.

I want to open presents now!

Cold Sore Face

With less then 2 weeks left until this whole project is over, you’d think I’d maybe put some more effort into things. To bad its that time of year where I get a cold that lasts forever and slowly eats away at my soul. I woke up with another cold sore today. 2nd in as many weeks, but this one is visible so it is therefore grosser. Ugh. It makes me feel like poop.

Just the usual.

Down By The River

Well, this outfit kind of turned out better then I expected. It’s not normally something I would wear, but I decided to layer a bunch of different things to see how it turned out. Plus, during this time of cold and sickness, it was nice to be all cozy and warm.

I know I’ve worn this scarf quite regularly these days, but it just seems to fit so many things. I particularly love the way it contrasts with the blue. One of my favourite colour combinations!

So I…wore a white long sleeve T, under a grey over sized T, under a blue Kersh sweater, topped off with a green handkerchief scarf. I wore the white long sleeve T one, so I would be warm, and two, so it the sleeves would hang out longer then the sweater. I like cuffs like that.

As for pants, I wore my Mavi cargo pants and black boots.

These black boots work for most outfits, but they are a little too casual/rain boot-esque for my tastes these days. I need to get a flat black boot that is a little bit more fancy. Kind of like a cross between these boots and my other black heeled boots. Maybe then I would be happy!? Ha, who knows!

Stripy Mc Stripe

I’m not very good at being creative bold pieces of clothing. All I ever seem to do is pair it with something simple and let the bold piece stand out. It just ends up becoming so mundane. I need a lesson in creativity.

While this sweater is not HUGELY over the top , it is enough so that all I want to wear something basic with it. I ‘tried’ to step out of the box today and paired it with a grey T, black denim leggings and a black scarf, but it’s not really that out there. I like the idea of mixing a patterned sweater with a printed T, but most of my T-shirts are in basic colours, or striped. I really don’t own that many printed Ts. Clearly, I need to change that.

The only adventurous part of this outfit was a clip I found that matched my sweater. Cutest thing ever!

I like todays outfit, but I really feel I need to push myself some more when it comes to fashion. Especially when it comes to the pieces I love.

Another Day in Bed

This Sunday was spent exactly the same as last Sunday. Other then going out for a short while in the morning, I spent it napping and watching TV.

I thought I would spare you another last minute PJ photo and actually take one of my moring outfit.

Nothing too exciting, just something presetable for public consumption!

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!

Over Salted, Over Layered

Over salted – possible. Over layered – NEVER!

I was wrapped tightly today, all cozied up. It is nice to be warm!

Today I wore grey and white Ts layered and wrapped with a purple and grey striped sweater. Purple & Grey, an excellent combination in my books. A grey fuzzy scarf to match, just to make sure I don’t catch a wind and end up sick for days (old Italian wise tale). Motorcycle Jeans from Dish because I like texture, and my Faux Fryes because I want to wear them every day.

This outfit works more then I thought it would. I love the shade of grey in the T-shirt and how it works with the sweater, and the texture of the jeans with the sweater! Sweet Jesus!

Yes, I get obsessive about these things.
