What NYC Recessionista Wears: 50 shades of grey

I haven’t done too many outfit posts lately because yesterday was the first day in nearly a week that I’d actually gotten dressed and left the house πŸ™‚

And to celebrate leaving the house, I wore one of my new LOFT blouses


LOFT blouse / J. Crew cardigan (similar) / J. Crew bracelet (similar) / Anthropologie bracelet) / Timex watch / J. Crew pixie pant / J. Crew boots (similar)

I think it’s great that a lot of retailers are experimenting with fun, whimsical patterns. These hearts are uneven and definitely abstract, but that’s one of the things I love about the blouse. And while I played it safe here and paired it with gray, I know I can pair this blouse with so many other colors.

I’ve had this cardigan for four years or so, and my favorite thing about it is the jeweled buttons (sorry the picture doesn’t do them justice!).

It was definitely feeling like November yesterday, so I pulled on my trusty old pair of J. Crew boots to keep my legs warm.
