outfit of the day – Page 2

new outfit: gloomy monday

It is a gloomy and rainy monday in Chicago, so I countered by wearing some bright flowers and taking a picture where it was warm and dry inside. Skirt from Banana Republic; top, shoes, and bag from Target; flower wrap from this super cute store in my neighborhood called Francesca’s Collection.

We did so much work on the apartment this weekend that I am really excited to show you guys. If you follow me on Instagram (@raenudson) you may have seen some sneak peeks. Huge thanks to Michael for all his help painting.

To keep away the Monday blues, here’s a picture of #fatcat from his least flattering angle.

a cubs game and what i wore

My welcome to Chicago continued with a Cubs game last night. It was so nice out (but yes, a little chilly), and we had so much fun. Wrigley is a quick walk from my apartment, which made a weeknight game really easy to get to and enjoy. The Cubs lost by one to the Pirates, but *I* won because I had a blast. This is what I wore.

Shoes from Target, jeans from…somewhere?, sweatshirt is a DIY (one of my favorites), blazer from Marshals, and scarf from the Gap. (Don’t worry, I also had another jacket and a hat stashed in my tote.)

new outfit: thawing out

It is supposedly spring now, but I’m not getting my hopes up. Today is beautiful, sure, but next week there is snow in the forecast. And I am tired, so tired, so so tired, of winter! I’m ready for a break and some sunshine. To take advantage of the weather today, I wore orange wedges, a chambray shirt, and my navy blazer. All of these are from regular old department stores, I think, but the purse is from H&M. Sunglasses from Target.

Now that it’s (relatively) warmer and it’s not dark every second I’m not working, I should be able to start posting more outfits again. In the depths of winter, it just got too tricky for me to work out. And let’s face it, all I wore were boots and winter coats anyway.

Happy Friday!

new outfit: blizzard

Polar Vortex II has kept me in Chicago for a few days longer than I expected. Luckily, I have access to a washer and dryer, so at least my reused outfits will be clean. But the same clothes every day can get a little boring sometimes. To stay warm in the frigid air, I piled on the layers.

My boots are from Banana Republic. Scarf from Target. Coat was a gift from my mom.

I hope everyone is staying warm!

new outfit: sweater weather at work

Today in New York it is rainy and snowy and blustery. But on another day last week, when it was more like fall and less like winter, I wore this sweater to work. I love the colors on it–it looks so fall to me. I paired it with a black pencil skirt and leopard shoes, and I felt cute and warm.

If I were to wear this outfit today, though, I’d add some tights and boots. For a more casual office, you could do jeans and a puffy vest.

Skirt from Banana Republic, shoes and bag from Target, sweater from JC Penney, chambray from Land’s End.

moma and what i wore

I had SUCH a fun weekend. It was full of date nights and museums and a marathon brunch (more on that later).
My favorite museum is the Museum of Modern Art. It has a lot of paintings that I like–and how fun is the design exhibit? On Saturday we checked it out, and this is what I wore. (Necklace is Dannijo, and purse is from the Brooklyn Flea. I can’t remember where I got the rest, probably department stores.)

The museum was full of inspiration. I like the cartoonishness of a sculpture we saw because it reminded me of the graphic novels I’m reading. I want to incorporate the mixed patterns and colors I saw into outfits for sure. And obvs I couldn’t resist having fun with reflections in a mirrored artwork.

new outfit: fall colors

Thanks to a 50% off sale at The Loft, I found some new pants. I love the color, and I think they will be excellent for some fall color blocking.

I’ve been struggling this fall to dress for the weather. We’ve had a few warmer than usual days and then a few pretty cold days and I get confused in the whirlwind. But today I was dressed in fall colors for fall weather and it worked out great.

Pants and jacket from The Loft, shoes from Target, top from Express.

new outfit: simple sweatshirt

I had a very lazy weekend. My one success was catching up completely on Scandal. While I was holding down the couch, I dressed the opposite of Olivia Pope in crisis mode. Where she was elegant gloves and all white without a chipped nail in her entire life, I was in sweatshirts and blue jeans and loving it.

Every day I wore some variation of this outfit. The staple was my new favorite sweatshirt. This is the same sweatshirt I used to create my other favorite sweatshirt–my DIY superhero sweatshirt of awesome. It’s from the men’s section in Target and it is perfect, with or without comic book accessorizing.

Shoes and purse are from Target, too.

a visitor and what i wore

My dad was in town over the weekend and I had the best time. We saw A Night With Janis Joplin, went to the High Line, out to dinner at Paulie Gee’s, had lunch on the waterfront. And this is what I wore (to lunch, anyway).

I love having visitors now that my apartment is big enough to comfortably fit more than one person. I’m proud of my home and I like sharing it. And it’s a good excuse to go to some of my favorite restaurants. The weekend was so fun–my return to the workweek was a little lackluster by comparison. How about you guys?

new outfit: blue stripes

We get dressed every day. It can get pretty boring after a while. Sometimes, to shake me out of a rut, I try to think of a new way to wear some of my favorite pieces.

I’ve worn all of these things before, just not all at the same time. But I love the way the teal skirt goes with the thin blue stripes on my top. And the pink heels just tops it off nicely. Shoes from Zara, skirt and top from the Loft.
