Real Life Fashion Series #003: L
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
Last time; my photography blows and I took it on a phone in my bathroom. In other news, if you can get past the ghetto set up and lack of an actual human being, I dug this out my closet last minute to wear to a work dinner for J. Is it stunning? Maybe not, but relatively chic, comfortable, appropriate for the occasion, and most importantly…free.
I’ve recently been able to drag myself from the depths of the panic that often ensues when one has to pull together an outfit for a particular event. It used to be “ShitIhavetorunoutandbuyadressrightnow,” while recently I’ve been opening my closet around 4:30 PM, only to stare blankly at its contents. (Whether this is due to the economic climate, time restrictions as a result of motherhood, or lack of truly giving a crap, I’m unsure.) This is what I came up with, and if I can do it you can too.

I need to get these pants! The soft look combined with the cozy richness of the color and fabric, are a perfect (and comfortable) jeans alternative. I just purchased the scarf over the weekend, at Anthropologie for thirty eight bucks; pictured here in blue, I actually got the purple one that has gorgeous, coppery threads running through it. The shoes and jacket are from Target and Forever 21 respectively, but have a great shape and are an ‘easy on the wallet’ addition to punch up any fall outfit. I still can’t tear myself away from
Weigh In: The Top Ten ‘Must Have’ items in any fashionable Mom’s closet
Sunday, May 4th, 2008
This is my list of the no fail items that I think every woman should have in her closet. Since you might have some different things on your list, I’d love for you to weigh in. Let us know what your ‘Must Haves’ are! Looking forward to hearing from you…LASM
1. A flattering and timeless ‘Little Black Dress’ A lifesaver for those last minute dressy events.
2. A good pair of jeans. By good, I mean ones that fit well and can be worn to dinner or pre-school pick up.
3. A pair of black pants. Never underestimate the black pants. They’ll flatter you on a sexy date night as well as the times when you feel too fat too put anything on.
4. A nude colored bra and thong (and by ‘nude’ I mean the color of YOUR skin) These are invaluable pieces – the basis of looking good AFTER you’re dressed.
5. One versatile, good quality bag. Something of an investment, but a smart one. Get one that’s neutral and will work for day OR night. A classic style that isn’t going to be ‘over’ by next season (or the one after that…)
6. A great pair of black heels. Whether they’re pumps or strappy, they should work with your little black dress, jeans and black pants.
7. SPANX! Whatever your problem area may be, there is a SPANX style to fix it. Nothing makes an outfit look better and you’ll instantly feel five pounds thinner.
8. One great coat. I like a trench, but ideally as long as it’s year round, a neutral color, and can be worn with both dressy and casual outfits, you’re good to go.
9. Diamond or CZ studs. Timeless and pretty, they go with most anything from jeans to ball gowns.
10. A suit. An all-purpose closet staple, a suit that fits well will work in numerous situations. Wear it to the office or team it up w/ a sexy cami and heels for a night on the town.
