Introducing OOTD (Outfit of the Day)

This blog is about a lot of things but uber-personal style isn't really one of them.  That said, my friend Sarah Conley has really inspired me as of late, as she regularly integrates Outfit of the Day posts into her amazing blog, Style It Online.

Sarah's fearless when it comes to sharing her own style with the world, so who more apropos to make me a little more comfy with the idea? She was my photographer for today's outfit of the day:

Alternative Apparel Modal Silk Cowl Neck Tunic  (gift from Pure Addiction)

Yummie Tummie Strappy (gift)

Winter Legging ($38, American Apparel)

Forever 21 Zebra Ballet Flat ($22.80)

Blue "pashmina" ($5, street vendor)

Jewelry: Various, including the Rebecca Minkoff Loop Bracelet in Flourescent Pink ($48, Luna Boston)

Holiday Gift-Terrific: The Jones New York Pashmina

I'm an avowed pashmina addict. Once the temp drops to 60 or below, I tend to have one permanently attached to my body in some capacity.

The vast majority were snagged via good, old-fashioned New York street vendors (where they go for $5 - unless you're a tourist, in which case they're $10) though I do have an indulgent Kashmere one that I snagged from Bluefly several years ago. The latest edition to the mix is this gorgeous Classic Wrap from Jones New York.

Available in several TDF shades, I simply had to snag the bright turquoise blue (the photo to the left does the color no justice, trust me). It's the perfect pop to neutral looks and the viscose has a lovely sheen to it.

I can't imagine any woman being less than thrilled to receive the Classic Wrap under the tree this year, and at just $24.99, you can afford to operate under the "One for you, one for me" philosophy (my favorite way to shop!)
