DrKitten Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Got some time to kill before work, so I decided to make a separate journal for my fashion posts while keeping personal over stuff in Read/Write, Pray/Fight. I will probably buy this top if it's still available next month (not allowing myself to buy any more clothes in January!). It's on final clearance from Talbots for under $10. Original price was $49.50! I love the color and the neck detail. image removed So shopping list for February: -Talbots top -Black ankle boots for Valentine's outfit And hopefully nothing else! I have a trip to save up for! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 That top is FABULOUS and the perfect colour for me! Link to comment
DrKitten Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yeah, green is my favorite color so I love buying it up in different shades. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I love green too. My eyes are green. I am also an autumn so green and oranges and browns look really nice on me. Link to comment
DrKitten Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yay, green eyes are lovely! Mine are too. I wear lots of dark and earthy colors like green, brown, black, and grey. I want to wear more vibrant colors like orange and yellow. Still working my way to that. Link to comment
hers Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I got those ankle boots I think I mentioned in your other journal. I LOVE them bu honestly can't figure out how to wear them with anything except pants and then they'll be covered!! image removed I love the color of that top. I like earthy tones a lot but somehow manage to wear brighter colors. Hm. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I have light blue-gray eyes so I stick with colours like grays, blues, and yellows. Hers - what about leggings and a long shirt? I dunno... I'm ignorant when it comes to those things, lol Link to comment
DrKitten Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Those are adorable, hers! I agree with OG, a long top and leggings will look nice. I can also see them with a casual dress like this (see, the model is wearing boots too!): image removed You're on Pinterest, right? I love using that site for inspiration. Try searching "ankle boot outfits" and see what comes up! I am still considering boots that color for my sweater dress outfit because I think they'd be a nice contrast with black tights. Some folks are really anti brown + black but if it's a light brown/tan color like that, I think it could look good. Link to comment
DrKitten Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Alright. Sticking my face up here because I thought my hair looked cute this weekend. Hello, ENA! image removed Normally, my hair is super cowlicky (still is, kinda) but I used a bit of coconut oil to shape it and think it's working. Also shaping it right out of the shower since it dries so quickly. Aside from that, I use/do nothing to my hair and would prefer not to get into hair products. Thinking of getting it cut a bit shorter too. Channeling Winona Ryder! image removed Link to comment
redrose85 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Oh I think that would look great on you, and it’d tame that cowlick you love so much! Link to comment
DrKitten Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks, redrose! Oh dear. I've fallen in love with another top... image removed image removed I need to spend more time at link removed. Adorable stuff aimed at younger ladies, but still tasteful and classic, I think.

DrKitten Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Pinterest isn't working for this image so I'll stick it here. I think this Clark's bootie is what I'll go for with my V-Day outfit. Classic and simple. image removed Link to comment
JonasWaingaro Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 A DrK sighting! Ha! ^^I really like that bootie. Link to comment
DrKitten Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hah, yes I'm a real girl! And thanks, I appreciate input from the menfolk too. Link to comment
hers Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I love those!! What do you think? Minus the ugly socks of course. image removed Link to comment
DrKitten Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Very cute, hers! Brown and blue go so well together, and that dress is very flattering on you. Link to comment
hers Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It looks bunchy around the waist bc of my under shirt. But I ended up not buying it. I did buy a red sweater that is longer in the waist. I've never done skinny jeans before but I'm thinking skinny jeans would look good with the sweater and the boots. Idk if I can pull it off though bc I'm clearly not skinny. Link to comment
DrKitten Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Just ordered the green top from my first post. For today only, Talbots is doing free shipping with the coupon code LIKE. So my grand total was $10.30, sweet! Link to comment
hers Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 That's awesome! May have to go to that website Link to comment
Silverbirch Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hey Dr. Kitten, I always like your posts. Years ago, I had a pair of black boots almost identical to the pic of the suede ones you posted. I think they are timeless. I took them to the shoeman for repairs and he told me if he was a woman, he would want a pair the same. I had them for years until they smelled so bad for wearing them so much that I turfed them in the bin although they still looked wearable. I was able to wear them with so many styles of clothes. I'm very interested in "timeless" clothing. There's heaps I'd like to acquire, but I just don't have the wardrobe space right now and don't want to get rid of anything. Some of the clothing I'm finding most interesting was popularised by Marilyn Monroe (which she wore in various movies). It's interesting to see how people seem to produce revamped versions of them. But of course, my favourite piece of clothing is The Little Black Dress popularised by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Link to comment
Silverbirch Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Is this orange or red?? Link to comment
DrKitten Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 That looks like red to me, silver. Link to comment
DrKitten Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ordered the black Clarks bootie, another great deal! They're $80 on the Clarks website, found them for $50 on Amazon. But wait, there's more! Free shipping + $5.00 Amazon gift card + cash back rewards from the card I used = I got them for $21! Feels like I got away with murder. Just hope I ordered them in time. Estimated delivery is 9th - 14th. I need them the night of the 14th! Link to comment
Silverbirch Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 They are a good buy Dr. K. I'll buy some new boots in another couple of months as it's still hot here. The most comfortable and well-made boots I have tried on (and want to go back and buy) were at a local saddlery. They were'nt riding boots, but definitely smart casual types. They will last for years. Most of the time, I I like to wear slim-line stretch jeans with boots. There's iconic company over here named RM Williams who have made boots and clothing for years, but they are out of my price-range. There are very similar produced by other companies which are almost as good, so I'll likely buy from them. I'm on my feet with work all the time and have to scoot about a lot. You'd think runners would be best, but I find my feet are better with boots. I'll just go for something very plain with an average sized heel. This is a pair of RM Williams boots. Link to comment
DrKitten Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Great boots, Silverbirch! It's no surprise that saddle makers create such great boots, they really know how to work with leather. The tall-boot equestrian look is also a pretty classy, timeless look. Something like this: image removed Link to comment
