The Working Closet
Oh dear blog-o-sphere,
There are so many lovely blogs out and about on the internet. So-so-so many that I love to read and follow. I am going to start showcasing them here, so I can spread the, ahem, joy, per say.
Of the many blogs that I pine over are two sweetly enchanting gals, Emery of Moms are for Everyone and Rebecca Woolf of Girl's Gone Child. Lately these two ladies have inspired me with their wardrobe posts. First because they both have excellent style and I love the outfits that they put together and second because of their willingness to share.
Girl's Gone Child is starting a new series called Girls Gone (Style) and I could not be more thrilled. I am always blowing up her pictures to try to get a better peak at her outfits. So now, thankfully, she is giving me the lowdown on her creative attire without me creeping around her blog, trying to enlarge and image to get a better view of a scarf or steal a better view of her shades.
Emery, (who I recently realized resides in my own city) - participates in The Working Closet, which is an experiment that showcases women everywhere, getting up and going for the day, in their outfits. Emery describes the Flickr challenge best here - go check it out and perhaps join the fun.
Last night after I read about The Working Closet, I decided to participate myself. I need inspiration. I need motivation to keep the cute going because let's face it: in the morning my creativity is zapped and the last thing on the priority list is taking care of myself. So, with that, I give you day one of My Working Closet:
Top: thrift store find
Belt: thrift store find
Black skinny pants: Old Navy
(Don't judge, they were cheap and cute.
But, mind you, they do have a thing for lent collecting).
Brown suede boots: Target last year
I hope to figure out a better way to take pictures of myself in the morning and perhaps discover some more flattering angles. The iphone shots might have to cut it though, toilet and all, especially since I run solo every morning. I will be adding my photos to the Working Closet Flickr collection as well.
So happy Tuesday! And thanks Emery and Rebecca for inspiring me; I love your blogs.

p.s. why is it that you can go into a vintage store and come out with that, and when iiiii go in i come out looking even LESS attractive than when i went in? please explain. thank you.
Hey lady-love. You are awesome and sweet and absolutely-all-things-wonderful. And with that - you too have an grand sense of style - often I think we have much in common when it comes to matters such as these.
And sometimes I have EPIC FAILS at vintage stores.

Oh, this is very exciting. I've been meaning to expand my blog reading mind, but I always forget. I haven't been stumbling upon new blogs on my own very well, so I can't wait to check out your suggestions.
I love it! I love Girls Gone Child, too.
And I wanted to answer your question about Ivy's dress- it's from The Children's Place and I actually got it second hand at Once Upon a Child!
