Three days in Vegas takes its toll, and today's outfit was therefore thrown together with far less deliberation than I normally prefer. I went for a colorblock effect that think I may have disrupted by adding a patterned scarf. Nevertheless, I still managed to garner a couple of compliments, although with the way most people dress in my workplace that's not really saying much. The tank is from La Redoute, cardigan from H&M (freshly purchased over the weekend!) skirt by... er, I'm not sure. The shoes are Gabriella Rocha and the scarf was a gift ages and ages ago from my best friend. I think the year may have been 1990. Eep!

Friday Night in Vegas
Friday, April 25: Since I was flying out to Las Vegas directly after work that night, I decided to go all out with an extra cheeky outfit. The dress is by Orla Kiely, t-shirt from H&M, and boots by Art Shoes. This is the first time in my recollection that I've worn short boots with a dress, and I'm still a little uneasy about the concept. I'd love to hear what other people have to say on the subject.

I loved the way this outfit looked once I put the coat on, so I decided to photograph it again, even though I was already running ridiculously late for work at this point. It's from Mango.

A Month of Shoes: Week 4
The fourth and final week of my shoe-wearing marathon brought some blessedly warm weather, allowing me to bring out some of my sandals. The week started with shoes by Bronx, sandals by Anne Klein, Sofft, and Stuart Weizman, and wrapped up with pumps by BCBG Girls. This week's photos also highlighted my need to come up with some new poses. I'm still working on that one.




A Month of Shoes: Week 3
Week 3 of my experiment featured shoes by Born, John Fluevog, Cole Haan, boots by Modern Vintage, and more John Fluevogs.

A Month of Shoes: Week 2
Week 2 of my month-long shoe extravaganza ran as follows: Steve Madden, Mudd, Gabriella Rocha, Sofft, and another pair by Gabriella Rocha. Several of my fashion fixations emerge in this set of photos: hats, mary janes, and retro styles. On Tuesday I was sporting a look I dubbed Mod Nerd, while Thursday's outfit featured a 1930's vintage reproduction from the Red Dress Shoppe.




A Month of Shoes: Week 1
I'll kick off this blog with a summary of an experiment I've been trying; namely, to wear all of my work-worthy shoes, a different pair every day without repeating. Now, I own a LOT of shoes, and figuring out the best way to incorporate them all into different outfits was somewhat of a challenge. I managed to go an entire month of workdays without repeating once, which I thought was pretty impressive. I've been posting these on my Facebook page but finally decided to create this blog, so rather than go through each outfit description in exhaustive detail I'll just recap them briefly.
Week 1: The experiment kicked off on Tuesday, March 25 with a pair of blue t-straps by Paolo, followed by mary janes by Steve Maddon and John Fluevog, and my favorite pair of comfy boots from Bata. At this point I was also experimenting with the setup and settings on my camera, so the photo quality isn't so great for some of these.




I'll go ahead and state right now that I'm a terrible bargain shopper, and rarely have any luck finding anything at thrift stores. The first 2 outfits pictured above came mainly from local boutiques, while the second and third came from a very pricey store in Copenhagen called Noa Noa, at which I have left a lot of my hard-earned and disadvantageously-converted US dollars.
