Styles of the Week: Volume 3
By Cherany • Mar 3rd, 2008 • Category: Cherany Style
Technically, these outfits are not all from the same week, but I’ve been lax about photographing myself daily, as well as posting here. So, I give you my favorite looks from February.
Outfit 1: As much as I love color, I really appreciate a great black and white combination. On a whim (and on my way out the door), I decided to go with white shoes. I found myself looking down throughout the day, hoping I hadn’t made a huge mistake. Looking at this picture, I am assured of my choice. They’re a fantastic pop to this color-free ensemble.
Total cost was $26.
(black top: Venus clearance, $5 // white tank: Rave, $6 // white/black skirt: clothing swap, $0 // black tights: Charlotte Russe, $5 // white pumps: Wild Pair clearance, $10)
Outfit 2: Oh, so pretty! The satin top, the light pink shirt over it, and the slight shimmer of these slacks are girly, yet very grown-up and office appropriate. Light pink pumps are icing on the cake.
Total cost was just $11!
(pink shirt: clothing swap, $0 // aqua satin top: gift, $0 // dark gray Bebe slacks: clothing swap, $0 // light pink pumps: Shoe Land, $11)
Outfit 3: Ah, I love this look! Funky, fun, and oh-so-fresh! I can’t even remember the last time I wore brightly colored tights (childhood, certainly), but after seeing them all over the fashion pages, I admit, I really wanted to give them a whirl. Finding these on clearance made my day.
Total cost was a shocking $8.50!
(black jacket: Wal-Mart clearance, $7 // jade tank: clothing swap, $0 // fuchsia tights: Target clearance, $1.50 // black heels: clothing swap, $0)
Outfit 4: Simple, but very colorful and cute. I’ve had this top for about five years now, and I still love it every bit as much as I did when I bought it.
Total cost was $22.50.
(green/blue top: Rue 21, $10 // dark jeans: Salvation Army, $2.50 // green heels: Body Shop clearance, $10)
Outfit 5: Return of the sweater dress! No, I don’t mean its return to fashion; I simply mean it’s been nearly a year since I last wore this. The way my closet is organized, this item hangs on the far right, out of my direct line of vision, and I tend to forget I own it. It was so nice to see it again.
Total cost was $20.
(sweater dress: Dots, $15 // gray tights: Charlotte Russe, $5 // black boots: Charlotte Russe contest prize, $0)
Singled out is a blast from the very recent past (late January) that I never shared here. This was such a fun outfit, I found myself squealing over it all day. The plastic bead necklaces were like a Mardi Gras party around my neck, and there are few things more cheerful than a bright yellow sweater.
Total cost was just $15!
(yellow sweater: Wal-Mart, $10 // black skirt: clothing swap, $0 // dark pink boots: Rainbow clearance, $5)
All of these outfits and a few more were added to my page on MyStyleDiary, which you can find a link to on the About page here. I’ve also added links to my pages on several other sites, so you can keep up with me, if you like. If you’re on any of the sites listed, don’t be shy about saying hello!
As always, I’m very interested in seeing what all of you are wearing! Feel free to post links to your photos in the comments.
