Why Did You Wear That: All Set To Sweat

By Kirsten|February 4th, 2014|Why Did You Wear That?|

On winter days when you wake up to the sound of salt trucks clanging down the street, it’s pretty easy to lose any and all motivation to get thyself to a gym, even if it is in your building- like one floor down. It all starts innocently enough, skipping a day here and there and then before you know it, you’re making death threats to your laundry service for “shrinking” every single pair of your designer denim jeans. Your scale also seems to be going haywire because your floor is clearly uneven. Write yourself a Post-It to call the super. You did not gain ten pounds of winter weight existing on Seamless orders alone. And then you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror on the way out of the bathroom post shower…

Normally, I’d be pretty pissed at Punxsutawney Phil for sentencing us with another six weeks of winter, but let’s look at the upside. Now, you have six more weeks to shed those polar vortex pounds. I suggest posting a picture of a Victoria’s Secret Angel to your refrigerator, following a fitness inspiration account on Instagram, and cease and desist wearing pants with elastic waistbands… unless you’re heading to the gym/Pilates/cycling/yoga. Other than an awesome playlist, having cute and flattering workout gear is a great way to make sweating seem a bit less sticky… and stinky.

Friday Frocks: The Highs and Lows

By Kirsten|February 17th, 2012|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Should you wear a long dress? Or something short and sassy? Can’t make up your mind? You don’t have to! Recently I’ve seen an influx of frocks that allow you to wear both. Short in the front and long in the back. Is this the mullet of dresses? Maybe. Hm… the mullet suddenly makes so much more sense to me now. Weird. These schizophrenic hemmed frocks appear to be the perfect answer for an outdoor or afternoon wedding or a semi-formal party. When you’re wearing both how can you really go wrong?

Look for Less: Wrap It Up

By Kirsten|October 9th, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

A couple of weeks ago, a friend sent me a message asking if it was, in fact, too soon to break out the winter scarf. Now, I’m a big fan of scarves, so my answer? “It’s really never too soon for a scarf.” Granted, you may look a little ridiculous when pairing a heavy winter weight scarf with a tank top and flip flops, but tucking a scarf in/on your bag for an evening out is always a great idea. There’s been quite a few instances where I’ve been caught off guard by a sudden nip in the air and felt lucky that I had a sunggly scarf to wrap around me. Now that it’s officially fall, scarves are fair game. So, let’s see how some of Hollywood’s stylish startlets are sporting their scarves:
