since it's the last day of 2009 i thought it would be fun to put together a slideshow of some of my favorite outfits from the past year. these were favorites of mine in 2009 and are sure to be worn many times again in 2010!
i did really well in the post-holiday sales this year (rick... ann d... les chiffoniers...) there'll be lots to post in the coming year so stay tuned!
thank you so much for visiting my blog and have a very happy new year!!!

urban warrior
here's what i wore last sunday, the day after the blizzard. i had to get out of my apartment after being holed in all night, plus i had a few more stocking stuffers to buy. it's certainly not a typical errand-running outfit, but it was warm and i had not worn the skirt in a while. it's at least 4 years old now!
American Apparel lightweight turtleneck; Costume National furry vest (very old, from eBay); Alexander McQueen wool skirt with zippers (very old, from eBay); Bally boots ("borrowed indefinitely" from mom's closet); DKNY wool leggings; Cecile et Jeanne gold hammered cuff (from Cecile et Jeanne boutique on Madison Ave./NYC)
come to think of it, this combination works for my rick owens leather skirt as well...
same as above, except with Rick Owens leather skirt (from Barneys NY sale); Chloe boots (old, from DSW Shoes/NYC)

default
this is my current default "night out" outfit. it's one of those outfits that i don't have to think about, i pretty much know it'll work. best of all, the hosiery, belt, and shoes are easily interchangeable.
Joie silk minidress (discounted from Bergdorf Goodman/NYC because the belt was missing); D&G lace leggings (old, from Century21/NYC); Balenciaga belt (from eBay); Biba over-the-knee boots (from eBay)
and this is my current default traveling outfit. with the exception of this past weekend when i got snowed in, i've gone home to nyc for holiday parties and other engagements so i've been on trains frequently this month.
T by Alexander Wang classic l/s tee worn under T by Alexander Wang striped linen blend tee (both from Barneys Co-op/Philly); American Apparel "winter" leggings; Miu Miu motorcycle boots (old, from mytheresa.com); extra-long cashmere scarf (two Portolano scarves from Filene's Basement sewn together)
the american apparel leggings were actually an emergency buy. i wore my leather pants on the train ride from philly to nyc and found them a little uncomfortable, plus they made a funny noise on the vinyl seats. so before heading back to philly i popped into american apparel and bought these winter leggings. if this stripe tee was a little more affordable i would have bought two, it's perfect for travel - comfortable but a little more interesting than the plain oversized tees i usually wear.
i'll be heading home to new york this thursday, but i did schedule some posts via draft.blogger.com so the blog won't be completely inactive while i'm away. enjoy the holidays everyone!!
