OOTD: Almost SPRING!

Even though it's a bit gray and still chilly in New York today, I'm ready for Spring! In honor of the new season, I've taken the liberty of retiring my closed toe shoes, neutral bag and winter coat, in favor of a lighter look. Top to bottom, here's what I'm wearing today:

• Diane von Furstenberg sunglasses
• Banana Republic trench
• Old Navy Linen Blend Crochet Trim Tunic
• Forever 21 scarf
• Old Navy Diva skinny jeans in Gray
• Cynthia Vincent Luella zip wedges
• Balenciaga Giant City in Outremer

OOTD: Neutrals & Heavy Metal

I got dressed this morning and was hoping for ease above all. I chose a few of my favorite staple pieces and then added interest (as I like to every day, let's be honest) with a little jewelry love and a pair of shoes that says business:

 

• J.Crew Eliza Cami (I love this so much I have it in two colors), no longer available
• Juicy Couture velvet blazer, no longer available, similar here.
• Old Navy The Diva Skinny Jeans in Gray, $29.50
• Courtney Crawford Peep Toes, gift, no longer available
• Rachel Rachel Roy earrings, no longer available
• Henri Bendel necklace, no longer available
• Giles & Brother Stamped Railroad Spike Ring, $65
• Nails: Rescue Beauty Lounge Grunge

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:
