Work Outfits

Recreations of Work Outfits from my earlier posts ... and an extra inspired by the Rachel Roy dress I bought today!

Work Outfits by marciakabbott on polyvore.com

My first Polyvore collection

Seems like this is probably a better way to manage outfit ideas than taking bad pictures of myself...

Effortless enough to let you shine

Casual, but put together

Easy, comfortable,  but cute everyday outfit

A flirty, fun day outfit

Nice mix of neutrals for a fall day

Sky High Heels I'm Loving Right Now

After a hiatus for personal reasons, an important step toward finding my new self is HIGH HEELS, so here is my list of heels that are getting me excited about life!


NUMBER 1

Rebecca Minkoff
Marsha

Of course I had to start with one named Marsha ... it also just so happens that I <3 Rebecca Minkoff

NUMBER 2

Christian louboutin
PIGALLE SPIKES

I love any Louboutin, but I love the classic mixed with the spikes on this pump ... especially in the nude and black colors

NUMBER 3

Jimmy Choo
SISKIN

I love that the mix of neutrals makes this shoe interesting, but still versatile enough to wear with almost anything.  Plus, the ankle strap placed lower on the shoe is slimming!

NUMBER 4

B Brian Atwood

Laplata Sandals

Beautiful pop of color in these Brian Atwood sandals...

NUMBER 5

Rachel Zoe

Platform Wedge Sandals - Katlyn High Heel

I love wedges and I the mix of black and gold is very on trend right now...

NUMBER 6

DV by Dolce Vita

Bianka

Love the color and the cool silver detail.  These could add great pop to a LBD.

Navy Ralph Lauren sweater, Theory dress, Navy heels, Purple sash

(This is part 1 of many)

Mirror Update

My mom was planning to give away a mirror we have in the guest room (my room while I'm home), but instead I thought I could update it by painting ...

The only tricky part was the hooks, which I needed to remove and fill in the holes.  It ended up being pretty simple though, I just used dry wall filler.  

Just sanded, filled holes with dry wall filler, covered the mirror and spray painted.  I think it turned out pretty well!  (I did not do a good job of taking step by step pictures, I'm still learning)

Final product

New Year, New Commitment

Fortunately, I have done a better job of doing my projects than blogging about them!  So, I will slowly start to post about those.  And since the likelihood of this being for anyone more than myself is seeming less and less, I'm going to broaden the scope to include fashions I like, new outfits ideas and basically anything else that comes to mind...
