Colour Me a Fool

We went to Costco last night. Bought me a nice Poinsettia. The first, little bit of Christmas poking its head in the apartment.

As I’ve mentioned before, unless the sun is out, our office, for some reason, is an ice box. No one really knows why, but it causes me to feel like I  need to dress for the arctic every day. This is basically why I resort to wearing the same thing every day. Jeans, Boots, Sweaters, Scarves. Any bare skin gets frost bitten.

Today I decided to saturate my outfit with Green and Blue. Deep intense colours are always my favoirte.

Oversized grey Sample sweater with my green handkerchief scarf. Indigo Mavi Leggings and black boots.

It’s kind of like I’m straight out of a colouring book.

Quirky Day in the Office

It’s also Slob It Up day at the office, brought to you by yours truly. It’s funny calling yourself a ‘fashionista’ when you dress more casual then a hobo. I guess that’s why I try NOT to call myself a fashionista.

Busy, Party, Party, Busy = Danielle doesn’t like getting dressed on Monday Morning.

I have lost all sense of creativity.

Today’s Monday Morning Outfit is brought to you by a basic grey T from Plum, a teal Kersh sweater, some Dish jeans, and my Blue Checkered Vans. I threw in the black scarf to hide my face.

I kind of do belong in a warehouse.

DISASTER

I totally bailed in the parking garage on my way up tonight. That’s right, I rolled my right ankle, smashed me knee, and killed my shoulder all in the matter of 3 seconds. Not good. But, as the trouper I am, I still took fashion photos and made dinner before passing out in pain on the couch :S

I kind of feel like this outfit is very rustic. Like I should be in the woods or something. Could just be me though.

Most of yesterdays snow is gone. The over night rain did it in. Seems like such a waste. All the beautiful snow washed away like it never happened.

It was still chilly today, so I went for the smart choice and decided to wear a long sleeve white knit top under a sweater, that way I got extra warmth and cute little white cuffs. I love layering every thing with a white knit top!

Both the White T and Blue Sweater are from Plum, along with my stripped scarf.

My Mavi cargos are always a nice change from wearing Jeans every day. I know I should probably introduce other bottoms into my wardrobe, but that’s just not me.

The Faux Fryes probably saved my life because they gave my ankle some sort of stabilization. I knew these boots were special <3

Bring On the Warmth

Could I BE any more bundled up? Probably not.

I love this scarf that I bought from Plum early this year. It is so chunky and cozy, only problem is it sheds like a mother on my black Pea Coat. Now it kind of looks like Grover. It does get to be a bit much to wear all day because it is so thick and cumbersome, but it keeps me warm, so I guess that is the price I pay!

I wanted to go about my day all dressed in black with one pop of colour. As an Italian, I don’t think I wear enough black. It use to be my favorite colour when I was younger, not because I was Gothic, but because I was/am Italian.

I started off my black outfit with a stripped T-shirt from the Garage. The stripes give a bit of a visual interest. Next I grabbed my black Kersh Boyfriend Cardigan. My Dish Motorcycle jeans aren’t technically black, but they are dark, and I love their texture, so they get a pass. My plaid boots were a perfect choice considering my outfit was becoming more about texture and print then about being Black. Ha.

Tomorrow it is suppose to snow. Oh God, what am I going to wear!?

Wood Central

I just realized that the colours in this picture are all very similar. Didn’t realized I dressed to match my floors and cabinets!

I’ve been freezing my butt off at work so I’ve been trying to wear things that cover as much skin as possible. Only problem is these Denim Leggings are made of paper and let all your body heat out. Bastards!

This outfit is very similar to one I wore last week. Same basic scenario, just a different top.

Today I wore my brown Kersh pull over  for its fuzzy and warming effects. I decided to protect my neck with not one, but two scarves. I got the idea to twist them together to make a doubled, layered look. I think it looks pretty cool. Mavi Denim Leggings down below, with my brown, wood matching boots.

Kind of a simple look mixed up with different textures and patterns!

MONDAY!

It is ok that it’s Monday because I am wearing my new favorite combination. I am so easy to predict because I love the same old stuff.

Stripes? Check!
Scarf? Check!
Straight Leg Jeans? Check!
Checkered Vans? Check!

HEAVEN

I love this sweater that I got from Kersh @ Plum. I love this scarf that I bought ages ago when I worked at Bootlegger. I love how the colours mix together and just look awesome. I love of warm I was ALL DAY. I love this love white T-Shirt from the garage. I love these Dish jeans from Plum. I love these Checkered Vans that I bought one Boxing Day I bought a few years ago. I love it SO MUCH.

Ok, ok, I think that is enough LOVE for one day!

The Browns and the Blues

Another week, another Monday. All these weeks are blending together it seems. Work is getting insane. Blogging is getting behind. There are so many little projects going on that I am starting to loose my mind. Thinking about it all is worse then actually doing it all.

The weather is starting to change and things are starting to get COLD. Scarves are probably going to be a must this week.

This knit top I bought in Italy in one of the little markets. It came with a rather cheaply made matching scarf. Cheaply made in that it was a strip of the same fabric with some hand cut fringe at the end. CHEAP! Ha. I traded that scarf in for one my Mom bought me in Alaska. Brown and Blue always look so good together.

I carried the colours down and wore my Navy Denim Leggings and brown faux leather boots.

I love the way the colours play with each other. Different shades of Blue and Brown all living together harmoniously!

Grey To Meet You

And so begins the week of weeks. Pat arrives tomorrow night and there will surely be adventures this week. Hopefully all will go as planned and we will all have a gay ol’time. It’s always fun when Pat is Back.

Though there is not much colour going on in todays outfit, I wanted to play on layers and prints. The detail and intricate crochet work on the scarf plays off of the small print on my Dish T. The greys are also not the same shade, so the scarf adds some dimension to it. I layered my Dish T with a white t-shirt just to break up all the darkness in my outfit.

The drapy-ness of my Plum sweater also plays off the drapy-ness of the scarf .

I then cuffed my yoga jeans and wore my new grey flats from Spring.

While everything is pretty monotone, I think all the different elements work together nicely!

The Day The Rain Stopped

If only for an afternoon!

We visited with friends this afternoon, which meant I actually had to get dressed and couldn’t just wonder around the house in sweat pants. Damn!

With all the darkness in the weather and now early nights (damn time change!) I felt like brightening life up a bit. I chose my 3/4 sleeve fuchsia Kersh sweater and based my outfit around it.

My White Tank + Grey Esprit T + Mavi Denim Legging + Black Boots + Multicoloured Scarf

A simple enough work, but enough layering and colours to make a dreary Sunday a little bit better!

Dark Nights, Late Nights

As every other fashion blogger has probably mentioned, this whole ‘it gets dark at 3:00′ business sucks. There is no time after work to take any sort of out door picture because it is pitch black! Not to mention my photographer is too busy working out at the gym these days to help me out!  Oh well, sames poses, same background and GO!

I took Matt out for dinner. Italian pizza felt like a good choice. I had to show him what he had been missing out for the past month.

Since Matt and I were going on a pseudo date, I figured I might as well dress the part…right!?

I debut my Boyfriend Jacket today. The last time I bought a jacket from Plum I had to go up a size and get a 4 all thanks to my wonderful shoulders. Actually, every time I’ve bought a jacket from Plum I’ve gone for a size 4. Anyways, with the boyfriend jacket beings so ‘manly’ I was totally lost in the size 4. It was just too big for me. I knew I wouldn’t wear it if it fit like that, so I squished my football shoulders into a size 2. You can’t REALLY tell that its too small for me and I only somewhat feel tight in it, but it is better then the alternative. Oh, and I was NOT about to alter the size 4 to fit me right either!

I paired my Boyfriend Jacket with a printed T from Plum, my Navy Denim Leggings, a multi coloured scarf and my new ankle boots that I bought in Italy from H & M.

Pretty classy for a Wednesday night!
