The Look: Itsy jacket, bitsy shorts. The Occasion: 'Honey I Shrunk the Clothes' theme party.
The Look: Printed perfection. The Occasion: Claiming, 'This old thing? I've had it for years...'
The Look: Mint and butter pecan. The Occasion: Subliminally persuasive Baskin-Robbins sales rep.
The Look: Suede skirt Rhoda would be proud of. The Occasion: Global Macrame Championships.
The Look: Dusky leather trim vest. The Occasion: Biannual cast reunion for Disney's 'Mulan on Ice'.
The Look: Fluttery kimono sleeves. The Occasion: Dashing and daring lady spy circa 1939.
The Look: Unexpectedly sexy graphic tunic. The Occasion: World's most stylin' Trekkie convention.
The City Sage is now a) seriously considering '20's vamp as her fall hair and make-up mantra and b) humbly accepting donations towards one or all of these drool-worthy pieces.
P.S. Gourmet and Cookie gone? I haven't felt this lousy since they axed Domino...

LOVE this post -- both the clothing and your suggestions of situations to wear these looks. The last outfit for the Star Trek convention might come in particularly handy now that I live in San Diego - convention capital of the world. At least it would let me blend during those times.

I'm liking the mint and butter pecan. Now I only wish I had a little bit more in the clothing budget.

what a perfect haircut.
Posted by: joanna goddard | October 08, 2009 at 05:23 PM
um i hold you singularly responsible for making me drool lustfully on this quiet sunday afternoon... an afternoon in which i was not at all thinking of shopping or clothes and yet now THAT IS ALL I CAN THINK OF. i've been wanting that last graphic tunic for a year. and i will also happily accept the baskin robbins dress. fine - who am i kidding - i want it all!
(ps - i semi cut my hair like this the other day... but mine is too determined to curl to look this sleek)
