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?!

The perfect ensemble for a double celebration!

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!

The Mixing of Neutrals

We got a last minute dinner invite from friends today which was totally awesome because I was in no mood to cook and hadn’t taken anything out of the freezer yet. Score 1 for being lazy! The best part of the holidays is catching up with everyone and having dinners and spending time. It was such a lovely evening.

I went with a very ‘blah’ colour palate today, but I love the colours none the less. Something you need a bit of the ‘non-exciting’.

White T + Taupe Kersh Sweater (so friggin comfortable!) + Grey Mavi Denim Leggings + Black Boots + Silver Beaded Necklace from Plum

I love the way this looks put together. I was a little uneasy about the way it might look, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Sometimes neutrals can be your best friends <3

Vintage For Reals

When my Mom was cleaning out my brothers closet she came upon this old sweater. This sweater just happens to by my Uncles sweater from 1975. Yes, thats right, he wore it when he was 8 years old.

Mom had put it in a pile waiting to go to Good Will. I, however, had other plans for it.

No one believed me that it would fit, but I knew it would.

I wore it to dinner tonight and got so many compliments on it. I love this sweater!

I paired my Vintage look with a long white T, AE Jeans, brown leather belt from Italy and my brown boots. Blue, Orange, Brown. It all works together so perfectly.

Thank God for Vintage Finds!

Boxing Day!

Boxing Day can not go by with out my Mom and I hitting the shops to see what is on sale. We’ve started a tradition of going to Plum every boxing day to pick up a few things on sale. This year my Mom bought me a coat that I had been eyeing all season long for 70% off! Total score on that! I picked up a little skirt I had missed earlier in the season and a beaded necklace as well. We then braved the crowds at Metrotown but found nothing we liked.

Today’s outfit is brought to you by Christmas Gifts. Chads Mom bought me this ensemble. All from American Eagle I might add.

The grey sweater is the warmest thing ever, and so totally adorable. The skinny jeans fit like a glove, and I can finally replace some of my Mavi denim leggings. The white T and boots were not gifts, but they fit this outfit perfectly. I love everything!

Winter fashions at its finest!

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!

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’!

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.

The Attack of Grey & Blue

The stripe trend carries on as it usually does. I thought I would mix prints and patterns today. I know, what a CRAZY concept.

Oddly enough, I have a T-shirt and a Sweater that is made of up almost the exact same colours. Only makes sense to wear them together, right?

I wore my Dex leopard print grey & blue T with my Kersh striped grey & blue sweater. They got along quite nicely, so I added a grey scarf to the mix to keep in my neck heat. I realize that when dressing for reality you aren’t always dressing fashionably. Well, this blog is about reality, so unfortunately I feel the need to wear a scarf every single day! Ha.

Down below I wore my Yoga Jeans and Black Boots. We went out to Burnaby Village Museum tonight, so I needed extra warmth in the leg area. My yoga jeans are thicker then my denim leggings so they were the perfect option.

The print/pattern together is quite f un, but again, I need to get some more printed Ts so I can explore this option some more!

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!
