Get Cozy

Today's outfit would be great for an easy-going evening out.

Sweater:  Forever 21+ (Available here)
Pants:  Target (old)

Shoes:  Payless (old)

The lattice back adds sex appeal and style, while the flowy sweater and pants are relaxed and comfy.

I added some fun silver and sparkly jewelry and a pewter clutch to add a little more flair to these simple pieces.

Sparkly heels complete the look.

Bag:  Target (Similar here)
Necklace:  Shoxie.com (Available here)

Ring:  The Limited (Available here)
Bracelets:  New York & Company and The Limited (Available here and no longer available)

I would wear this for a dinner date out with the man.  Sans the heels, the outfit is perfect for cozying up on the couch after dinner with some Big Bang Theory.  :-)

Glam Geek

Today's look takes my "Chic Geek" tee to a slightly edgy androgynous glam place (Does such a place exist, and how do I get to such a wonderland??!!).

Blazer:  New York & Company

Pants:  The Limited
Clutch:  Target (Similar here)

I've only recently started wearing t-shirts outside of the house again.  

In high school and my early years of undergrad, I wore a LOT of 
t-shirts - my favorite music (John Lennon, Pearl Jam, R.E.M.), my favorite quotes (Nietzche), my social causes (vegetarianism, animal rights, Amnesty International), portraits of my favorite authors (Steinbeck and Poe... because I couldn't find Camus) - you name it, I had it on a t-shirt. 

Maybe it was t-shirt overload or maybe it was an effort to mature my sartorial choices, but at some point around my junior year of college, I stopped wearing t-shirts except as lounge wear.

T-shirt:  Target (Available here)

Bracelets:  Express, The Limited, Claire's, H&M

Over the last year or two, I have seen my t-shirt collection grow.  I have a lot of kids, creating a need for a more casual weekend wardrobe that works for my lifestyle.  I also realized that there are a lot of cool t-shirts out there, and I was missing out.
 
My t-shirt looks are often super casual (stay tuned for tomorrow's post), but I also love the idea of dressing tees up with fancier fabrics like velvet, silk, and faux leather.

Rings:  Earthbound Trading Company and The Limited (Available here)

Shoes:  Target
