Event Outfitting

Next month at the Carnegie Musuem of Art I'll be attending a screening of the film

The Seasons in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger

I hate to be a dilettante, but alas that is the nature of this modern age of pop culture over true art, blah blah blah... Anyway I don't know much about John Berger, but I DO know that my spirit animal, Tilda Swinton(!!!!) will be attending the screening to introduce the film as one of its producers and directors!!!!! Tilda in Pittsburgh, talking and walking in real life and I have officially lost my shit ready to burn down the house!!!!!!


So, yes I need a haircut ASAP, and I need to figure out what I'm wearing. Obvie I need to put together something avant garde, but this is still Pittsburgh, not Paris so some level of real world wearability is called for. Tickets and more info on this event here!

 Initial outfitting thoughts,  maybe go with some recent purchases like this wrap dress.
Finery 

Or, these culottes...

Everlane

Or, go with graphic pieces like my all-time favorite of stripes like this look from last spring:



Or do a novetly-esque print like this "peacock" tunic I rocked this past summer in this post.


 OR, do I bust out the big guns and Rent the Runway...
Slate & Willow
Slate & Willow

OR, maybe I the jumpsuit route from this post....



Granted this is a maternity jumpsuit, but it's not like there's a huge "baby bump" panel announcing that. We shall see, I'm just so super excited and can't wait to see my spirit animal live and in person!

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Mid-Summer Sales!!!!

It's time for one of my all time favorite summer activities! No, not bbq and fireworks, but the mid-summer/4th of July sales!!! There are bargains to be had everywhere you turn and I've already scored some deals here this past week!  From Zara 's Sale: Waistband Trousers Oversized Tee From J.Crew : Linen Shorts Side-Slit Tee And a few pieces I'm thinking of from ModCloth : ModCloth T-Shirt Dress Chambray Tunic True, these pieces are a bit "basic" but I'm thinking of the 80/20 Wardrobe Plan . 80% of your closet serves as foundation/workhorse pieces with 20% consisting of statement, more fanciful items. Like this "coatigan" from Nasty Gal Wool Coatigan Just think how this coat/cardi hybrid will pop against the t-shirt dress above, and/or the grey pants and either t-shirt, for a solid 80/20 outfit!  Regardless of how you approach your mid-season shopping the point is to get up on the
