Let’s Talk: Sheer Blouses
I may have a deep affection for silky blouses, but tend to avoid those of the sheer variety. I loathe the idea of wearing a camisole underneath a shirt, and sometimes a visible bra can be a little too va va boobs. Of course, trying to avoid apparel for me is like trying to avoid shots of whiskey after a few drinks on a Saturday night — it’s just going to happen.
And so, here you see me wearing a shirt made of fabric so sheer you can see my belly-button without close inspection (it’s an innie, by the way). While I have covered up most of this shirt with a structured jacket (it is winter after all), I think there is definitely a time and place for your bra and bellybutton to be in full exposure. Such occasions usually go with the aforementioned Saturday night whiskey brawl, but it’s best to leave such sartorially scandalous excursions to a season that doesn’t involve icy wind chills and snow.

A Week in Review
{ Upper East Side buildings from beneath my rainy umbrella }
Oh, this week; a remarkable combination of shitty and wonderful. Even as I try to bitch and moan about all it’s annoyances (i.e. getting locked out of my apartment with Finn while wearing boxers and zit cream on my face…), it also brought a bunch of new projects and a website re-design that looks like it will happen before the start of Fashion Week! Hoodily doodily!
This week’s happenings aside, Friday, boy am I happy to see you. This weekend feels kind of like my last summer hurrah as I’m going up to my house in Connecticut with a group of friends and probably won’t be back there until October. Depressing. But that just means it’s time to live it up! Am I right?
Now go enjoy the weekend!

Primary Colors
The first day of spring beckons something colorful and breezy, so when I woke up yesterday morning I looked no further than this Marc by Marc Jacobs dress that’s been hanging in my closet since last summer. It’s one of the few lightweight pieces that didn’t get tucked away during the winter months as I was convinced I would wear it with black booties, a leather jacket, and lots of snowy accessoires; but alas I never did and it’s thus been occupying space and staring at me for 6+ months.
Happy to take it out for a twirl (note: if you twirl fast enough you look like a beach umbrella – just sayin’), I let the dress take the spotlight and traded in the lightweight ribbon belt and simple sandals I paired it with last summer for bolder accessories. Weird how adding bulkier pieces make something whimsical stand out that much more; then again, the primary colors in this twirly number are enough to bring a speeding taxicab to a full stop…true story. Just call me the traffic ninja. Or don’t.

Seasonal Sparkles
While we’re on the subject of holiday dresses, allow me to introduce one of my new favorite sparkly numbers from Juicy Couture. Along with being in one of those murkier colors that you all know I love, the gauzy layer on top is actually removable which means I can wear this as a full-blown sequined dress if I want (and who wouldn’t want to?).
Even though this dress is a bit too fancy shmancy for my family’s Thanksgiving dinner, I can definitely imagine putting this on for one of my favorite Christmas traditions, The Nutcracker.

Puffy Polka Dots
~ super bright sun + evil cat eye sunglasses = permanent squinty face ~
Ok. I know I said June was all about color but these polka-dot pants (that used to be my Mom’s until I stole them from her…score!) are outlandish enough that I figured an abundance of color wasn’t necessary. As if polka dots weren’t enough, they’re also extra poofy (as you can clearly see) so sometimes I feel like I’m wearing those medieval pantaloons (clickity click here to see some pantaloon poof). So, to juxtapose the puffiness I cinched up a raggity old Hanes t-shirt that I cut up years ago and gave myself a wee bit of height in some bittersweet red sandals that are quickly becoming a summer staple. My other summer staple? My roof upon which these photos were taken.
