WCC: Day 2

Sweater, Charlotte Russe. Skirt, Moda International. Tights, Hue (they are navy). Lace-up pumps, Isaac Mizrahi for Target. Brooch, swap. Tote, Tommy Hilfiger (not pictured).


Lazy girl’s updo today, created with bobby pins instead of a hair stick.

I didn’t realize I was wearing navy tights until I got to work. I have a very hard time differentiating them from my black tights without natural or fluorescent lighting. Thankfully, they “go” with my outfit this time.

Today’s pieces:

No repeats from yesterday, except for the brooch. I have yet to use the scarf or black handbag.

This is a very smart & sharp outfit and your hair looks amazing like that. I tried doing the lazy girl 'do back when you first posted instructions, but I failed. Also: I AM WEARING A SKIRT TODAY, COLD WEATHER BE DAMNED! Thanks to your handy two-pairs-of-tights trick, my legs are nice and toasty. My husband said I looked really nice this morning and I told him it's all thanks to Kasmira. He said "Who?" I told him I'd explain later. Now he probably thinks I have a date today with a girl.

This is such a cool challenge! Great job so far.

First time commentor here. I think this might be one of the best outfits you've put together. It's quite sharp, really, and I love the brooch on the turtleneck. I do that as well, and it usually works better than a necklace. May I just say..You are really lovely and I like when you choose 'simple' outfits, such as today's. You don't need to over-style yourself. Keep up the good work!

I agree with the other comments: the brooch on the turtleneck is really pretty, and your hair looks cute like that. Cute outfit.

Fabulous! Love the navy & black combo -- very sophisticated, very chic. And your hair is just the perfect finishing touch...LOVE IT!

I love the way you are wearing the brooch and those shoes....I want some!

If your tights have a tag, you might could use a black sharpie to write a "B" or "N" on the label. If not, perhaps you can purchase a metallic marker and put the indicator on the underside near the toe area? I have a hard time differentiating between the two colors as well.

Great blog, by the way. :)

Very posh!
Yep, I too am in love with the brooch on the turtleneck. I hope I have a pin I can do this with tomorrow, Ms. Inspiration. (Can't make one that fast - have a skirt to finish first).

(As I sit here a bit chilly in my skirt, I wish I had remembered your two pair of tights trick.)

That's what brought me to your blog waaaay back when! I Googled "easy updos" or something like that, then I found your step by step "Lazy Girls Updo"... (which I STILL cannot master!)... and I found your blog - got hooked - and started my own "what i wore today" type blog!

Thanks!

That is so cute the way you put your pin on the turtle neck... I am totally stealing that idea!
Thanks :)

Add me to the idea-stealers - I never thought of doing a brooch on the neck of a sweater like that!

I like that this outfit is really simple - very classic.

I'm crazy about navy and black together. Great look and fantastic hair!
