Friday night....
me in a goofy mood doing my impression of all those celebs who send twitter pics out into the world (Kim Kardashian & Jessica Simpson much)...
I must have been reading a lot of Perez today...
Anyway, this was the weekend of the inevitable NYC snow storm. Yes, we've been having a lot of them lately. I'm sure many of you can commiserate with me. Let's just say I'm eagerly awaiting the Spring.
Considering the weather was so bleak I was going to spend a Friday night in when I got a call to meet up with some friends for dinner and drinks in the east village. It was the perfect excuse to create a new look for this lattice sweater top that I refound in the back of my closet recently :)
I love it to bits but I have to admit it had been boring me a bit lately. I always seem to pair it with the same things so I decided that this weekend I would give it a little mini makeover and find a way to incorporate this very sweater into two completely different looks.
On Friday I wanted something modern but edgy so I paired the top with my plum purple skinny jeans, knee-high boots and this funky gold CK belt that I bought on super-sale for about $3.50. The bold color of the denim and the chunky gold of the belt toughens up the overall look.
Overall I think my little experiment opened my eyes a bit in helping me to reinvent a few new looks to add to my wardrobe. Creating is after all the core of fashion :)

Now on Saturday...
...I opted for a bit of a more demure look. It's a bit of a modern twist on the school girl look. It was when I placed the headband on that I found myself dangerously close to Blaire Waldorf territory. I also wanted to bust out my thigh-highs since they're about to come back in style. Thigh-highs always remind me of Cher and Dionne from the movie 'Clueless' - talk about pulling a look off with panache!
