Something I was mulling over today... particularly something I thought a lot about during my year of mostly pantsless living. What the heck is my personal style? What fashion label do I fall under?I've been told by various co workers that I look "quaint" "steam punk" "elegant" "accessorize perfectly"... etc. But what does all that even mean?I love the structured dresses, cute shoes, and

Snowy here in Seattle... and I got the brought idea that it would be ever so fun to do a photo shoot in a white dress in the snow.So I got my mother to humor me, threw on this totally seasonally inappropriate outfit, and had a blast for about ten minutes (which was all I could stand without feeling overwhelmingly cold)Here's the best of the shots:I do not condone dressing like this without a coat

Put this outfit on to hang out with a friend one day last week. Brand new Mossimo jeggings from Target... I tell you, better than regular "jeans" any day.Of course, the jeggings sold at Target are NOT your average jeggings... most things advertised that way really are just leggings made out of denim, and look like it. The Mossimo ones I buy regularly at Target are NORMAL SKINNY JEANS but made

I started wearing heels when I was 14. I had no clue how to balance correctly in them, no clue how to walk at all, and probably looked like a complete and utter moron. 8 years and at least one major injury since then, I wear almost nothing else. Not always by choice... primarily because my major knee problems are exacerbated by wearing flat shoes for extended periods of time. So, some thoughts on

Well, mostly pantsless 2011 was a personal success but a blogging failure. I definitely spent more than 50% of the year going pantsless, and I'm happy I did it. While I have no specific goals for 2012 regarding a ratio of pants to non pants, I do have to say that my year of mostly pantsless living made me a lot more comfortable wearing skirts and dresses in situations I once would have always

This outfit was kind of a staple for MP2011. My cotton t-shirt LBD with black tights or leggings, my black flat lace up boots (not pictured because they were already put away and I was lazy), a belt, and whatever colorful things I could think to throw in.Well, today's colorful tidbits brought to you by:This lovely new Converse jacket/sweater I boughtThe charming necklace my mom gave me for

I wore this outfit to work a couple days before Christmas (I was displaced from my usual spot on the cafe and was working a music department shift, thus the addition of color to my outfit)What you can see is my awesome pantsless outfit, and my wonderful new work shoes. What I forgot to take a picture of is the adorable flower I had in my hair. Darn!

This is a song I've been hoping to do since I came up with this idea last December. In fact, now that I've fulfilled it, I may quit the song challenge and just go back to Mostly Pantsless 2011, because I'll be honest: I'm getting a little bored of the song thing already. (Short attention span, anyone?) So, as can be seen in the video, (here is the link again) the theme of the outfits is inspired

Oops, I'm a day late! Not to worry, I DID get everything done yesterday, I just... absolutely failed at having time to get onto the computer. In this case, I decided the key word was "silhouette"... I wanted to create an outfit with a good one... furthermore, I felt delicate and feminine was key. Song for day 3 (aka today!): Blame it on the Girls, by Mika

I really had no clue where to go with this song, but somehow, I came up with a weird idea to do something that seemed simultaneously sexy, and like something a little girl would wear to a birthday party. Not lolita... dear god no. More like "innocence that is more or less a lie"... the song strikes me as one in which someone goes to great lengths to attain someone that seems wonderful, only to

I'll just be sticking with the general playlist I've been hooked on this year. Besides, September is the best month to do it in... it's the perfect weather for layering but still getting to wear some summery clothes, so I feel like there's a much better opportunity for creativity. Will be starting tomorrow with an outfit inspired by: Evidence, by Jimmy Eat World I also have a couple of

I tried something new the other day... used my sweater to create the silhouette of the outfit, belted on the outside of the sweater to create an interesting touch. I also added my new charming moss green tights to the mix, since I'm in such a fall mood. I'm really proud of how the outfit turned out.

The majority of my clothes are shared across seasons... my huge collection of scarves and cardigans, and my love of tights and leggings to make any skirt or dress on the planet fall and winter friendly makes this possible. Obviously, I own a few things that don't really transition that well: I don't do the shorts and tights things, so the few pairs I do own only see the light of day when it's hot

I've never been much of one for dressing up in a 4th of July theme, but this year, with the navy and white dress and the red belt, I couldn't resist.Naturally, I used black accessories to give it a less "hey, I look like the flag" and more a "quaint, edgy, and feminine" feel.I'm not sure if I've featured the shoes yet... I picked these up at the Edinburgh branch of a UK chain called New Look (yes

A few weeks ago, I purchased a slim, shiny, red belt... the perfect complement to the edgy vintage look I've been aiming for as of late. And in the past week, I've come up with three lovely pantsless outfits to rock it with, and completely forgotten to take pictures every time. First, my "going to the zoo" outfit from last Monday:Followed by my "let's go to the pub" outfit from Monday night:And

So, with a little trickery, I managed to create what I consider a very old school look, and... well... why lie... it's a little on the sexy side. I had fun wearing this outfit out one day... I definitely turned a few heads. The overcoat thingy is actually long and flowy and quite loose. Turns out all it took was tying it up in just the right spot and adjusting to get this awesome look:

I'm liking today's look. Nothing particularly noteworthy to describe, except perhaps the hoodie.It's Tripp... purchased used from Buffalo Exchange for about $15 3 years ago. I love it. What with the basic design but all the quaint lacy details, it could not be more me. Check out the complete look!

I swear, I've been keeping up on Mostly Pantsless 2011, I just haven't had the motivation to take pictures OR post. But, I've got a great new dress to show off today.As most of my close friends know, I have been on a mission to find the perfect dress for a few years now. And I am picky... oh so picky. I have all these demands... perfect shape (fitted bodice, please!), perfect colors (I'm sorry, I

And this one has a considerably lower price tag than my usual LBD. Last night's going out for drinks outfit was casual (well, MY casual anyway. Mostly, people were asking why I was so dressed up, while I was fighting off the urge to say "but this dress is practically t-shirt material!"), spiffed up with color, and totally comfortable and wearable.

I've been doing a good job of keeping it pantsless, but a HORRIBLE job of updating my blog. The outfits have been slightly boring, and I haven't had as much time to get pictures, but today's outfit will DEFINITELY be featured (so I can show off my brand new LBD from Target... definitely about to become one of my wardrobe staples)And I'm not sure when, but I'd like to try yet another song a day

I had a fun photoshoot on Monday, followed by my minor sore threat suddenly turning into a flu that had me out of commission from Monday night through Tuesday night, thus the late update.I am pantsless today as well, but it's a rather unremarkable outfit, and I don't feel like plastering my ill looking self all over the internet. So, Monday's outfit was aiming for a vibe that would be loved by

DEFINITELY appropriate and then some by local standards)... but chances are, I will be spending a good chunk of time in Turkey in about 3 monthsSo to perpetuate my year of mostly pantsless living, I have a shopping mission: cute, non shortening, almost knee length

There is a reason everyone tells you to own a LBD. You can do SO MUCH with one, from casual to fancy to everything in between.Today's outfit took the basic premise from Tuesday's outfit, but I swapped out black tights for purple, red cami for a purple cami, and gray fitted cardigan for a loose blue-ish one (and though not pictured, I used my other pair of black pumps just to switch things up),

Today, an outfit was born that is so perfectly "Kathryn", that it made it easier than ever to keep the pantsless thing going (3 days in a row!!!! If anyone cares, that makes 7 out of 11 days in 2011)My ability to feel cute plummeted drastically after my brother's cat decided it was "maul Kathryn's feet" day, but on the bright side, black tights are a great way to go pantsless and still cover up

Being a barista with a "Starbucks" dress code (anyone noticed that when you go into a REAL Starbucks these days, colors seem to be ok, while us B&N kids are still stuck with the old school black and white only?) is one of the main reasons that this year is only MOSTLY pantsless...

I've certainly been know to have a very rocker chic style. In high school, I was the sort of girl in ripped up jeans, corsets, and plaid minis almost daily. I'm also quite girly, and love the profile created by fitted, uber feminine clothing. So I strive to find a balance between the two, and that's where today's outfit comes in.My usual outfit staples combined to make a look that's part punk

Alright, I went with a pretty "literal from the title" thing for today's outfitThe sweet portion is characterized by elegant blouse, the super feminine accessories, and the sideswept hairstyleThe bitter part is where I went for "tough" rather than "bitter"... a sort of "jaded to the ways of the world" sort of bitter.

As mentioned yesterday, I was going for naivete meets the real world, to complement certain lines in the songCrediting Snow Patrol follow for all the following lyrics, I'd like to mention what some of those lines are:"I can make my first steps as a child of 25""A simple mistake starts the hardest time""Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it at the time"Because this is about what

Since November has totally been dedicated to writing for NaNoWriMo, December will be a little more focused on fashion: I'll have my computer back so I can post photos, I'll be working on finishing my skirt, and I've had a fantastic idea for myself.First, I thought "I want to try something new, create a brand new signature look for myself"... but the more I thought about it, the more a new idea

As I will still be without a computer for approximately one more day (assuming Staples legitimately meant within 48 hours -_-), and still don't want to upload photos onto my mom's computer, I'm going to do a photo free fashion suggestion post (I know, I know, ridiculous)Layering is one of my favorite things to do, so this time of year is my favorite, fashion-wise. I've also been trying to cut

So, due to yet MORE computer difficulties, this blog has kind of taken a backseat, but I do have one charming photo of me from Halloween, doing what I do best: last minute creativity forming something cute out of desperation over what to wearI went through every idea I had, giving up after 9 stores produced nothing, when Lara conveniently reminded me of the movie/comic Watchmen, and an idea was

I have avoided trying them on for some time now because I thought the concept sounded stupid, and that they wouldn't fit right, and be just like denim look stretch pants.But... I was wrong.In Target today, I grabbed a pair for curiosity's sake, and they fit like a dream. Looked like the first pair of skinny jeans I bought back in high school. Ya know, how skinny jeans USED to look, just with a

While I'm in my in between phase (haven't sent off my computer yet, still don't want to add new files to it), we're going to do a bit of a flashback period... some of my older outfits which I've got pictures of, but have never posted... they may be outdated in some regards, but I tend to go for classic looks... if I could wear it 6 years ago, I can probably still wear it today.This outfit,

So Glamour tells me big, unplucked, and even filled in eyebrows are in this fall... SAY WHAT?For years, magazines have been telling me the natural look is so "yuck", and that I should be plucking or waxing my eyebrows. Now, they're all the rage, and I should apparently make them look even hairier with the use of an eyebrow pencil.Now, for the record, I have never once plucked or waxed my eyebrows

Jeans are sort of my downfallI can't go into a Target and grab $20 jeans, because I'm not tall and I don't have slim thighs. Every once in a great while, Target makes something short in a size I can get over my legs and button comfortably (the pair of jeans with the incorrectly sewn on waistband, and my work pants), but it's not like I can make a habit of it.Back in the day, I could go to Wet

I have some updates in waiting, but due to a computer problem, I don't want to upload any photos right now, as I may or may not be getting this computer back.In the meantime, though, I have some fantastic photos of my dear friend and model, Lara, looking absolutely awesome as for "what to wear to a fall party" (which, sadly, she did not wear to a party last night... but I will be expecting her to

It's a little below 70 degrees today, and super sunny... so I wanted an outfit that would be the perfect blend my usual summer AND fall looks...Apologies for the picture quality, unfortunately this slightly blurry one came out the best of all of them...T-shirt is from Target, but I don't remember the brand or priceThe vest is from Hot Topic and cost me around $25, also don't remember the

I officially get to roll out my fall layers, enjoy my pumpkin spice coffee (today was the official start date, for anyone who enjoys Starbucks/B&N... soooo good), and wait for the leaves to change color.Buuuut one tiny little problem: fall is my favorite time of year fashion wise, but I'm so not rich enough to take advantage this year.

I'm usually a HUGE fan of fall trendsI go nuts for jackets, tights, boots, rich colors, etc. But this year, I'm noticing a disappointing amount of things that are flat out no goes for me: camel colored everything (of all the neutrals out there, this season's just has to be the one that makes me look washed out and monochrome? Well, I did dye my hair this year, so not so bad, but still.. just...

Not my best picture day, but I'd like to show off my amazing new hair, and a lovely new shirt...As of today, Kathryn is once again a (artificial) redhead!And in other news, I'm really liking my outfit from today:Most of the items seen here have been featured before, with the exception of the lovely black overshirt... available at Target for I think around $17, and it also came in green and pink.

Well, quite sadly, my lovely salon quality straightener that my sister had given to me years ago finally died... blades won't stay put, other bits were falling off... I was therefore stuck with a crappy Vidal Sassoon straightener I bought in 10th grade on vacation... which fills my bathroom with the smell of burning hair whenever I use it.I really did not have much money for a top quality

I don't understand why people dress their worst when they don't feel.I'm not pointing fingers or intending to cause offense to anyone who does this, but as I'm sure you yourself are well aware, all it does is draw attention to how you feel. I remember this particularly from the high school days: there would be the girls who would get sick and show up in baggy sweats sniffling and wiping their

The rain is back in Seattle!!!!!!!!!Here's the deal: I hate those days when it's so rainy you can't do anything. But I love overcast days, light rain, breezes, and just anything that reminds me of FALL! So once summer turns to fall, I get freaking excited. And even this weekend's mini glimpse of fall weather is totally my thing.So here's me and my featured model Lara looking quite adorable in the

The weather has dropped from the mid 80s to low 90s of the past few days to a whopping 64 today... and I celebrated with a break from boring hot weather clothing by switching to my a tried and true set of clothes... the individual pieces in question have all been displayed on here before, but I'd never tried wearing this shirt with a cardigan before...

So I mentioned the other day I'm working hard on losing some weight, but MOSTLY just on staying fit... feeling and looking my best, and exercise + eating healthy ALWAYS helps with that. This isn't exactly a health blog, but it IS a fashion and beauty blog, and too often, weight/health gets lumped into the fashion category, so it bears mentioning.I said before I don't condone low calorie diets...

I'm trying, I swear!My outfit is pretty similar to some others I've shown, so I'll skip the boring details and just show off the final products.I'll admit: I haven't been my most photogenic OR creative lately. Lots of work, little to no sleep, and hotter weather than is conducive to my creativity= not looking my best or wearing terribly original outfits.Today, I was just trying to look a little

Headed to the beach again today, and broke out something I haven't worn in a while: the capris I bought 3 years ago! (And much experimenting led to an outfit I can't WAIT to wear once it gets a little chillier)I love the way this tank top looks with the gray cardigan... I actually pair them up quite often. The capris (Wet Seal) may be a tad outdated, but I feel like they really flatter my figure,

I realize my blog doesn't really have a following yet, but if I let it go, it never will... so despite the lack of readership, I'd like to check in anyway.I've been super busy lately, mostly with work, running errands for my family, and whipping my room into shape. The general excuse brought about by all of this is that I've been decidedly lacking in the cute outfit department as of late. I

While, like I said earlier, this outfit was definitely not intended to be worn at the beach, I'm still pleased with how it looked, and I'm loving how my waterside pictures turned out!This is Richmond Beach in Shoreline, WA... one of our lovelier beaches... and my "casual wear for a sort of warm/sort of not day" So, I'm sure by now you're familiar with my usual outfit details... cami is Vol. 1,

Wow! A few days off, but totally unintentional. I've been swamped with work and friends, but I've got some pictures from a great day at the beach and the super awesome un-beach like outfit I wore (no one warned me what the plan was in advance), and also some other posts coming up soon. No, I haven't forgotten about my blog yet!

So, I try to go for basic but pretty every day. On all but the most special of occasions, I totally skip lip gloss/lipstick (except in the winter or when I've been sick, when my lips get so chapped I HAVE to go for moisturizing lipstick... I'm allergic to lip balm)I definitely don't do eyelinerAnd I find a coverstick right on blemishes, plus basic powder foundation is less pore clogging and more

Hey! I am definitely working on trying to get the other features up and running, but for now, this one is all that I've had time to work on (it's insanely hot in Seattle, and I count "trying to enjoy the one week of summer we might get" as "too busy to work on my blog").I do have a couple friends on board who are super excited to be models for some of my posts, and also have fashion ideas of

I sincerely apologize for the quality of these pictures... ordinarily, I do not condone taking pictures of oneself in the style of social networking sites, but I'm home alone, and I wanted to make this an "early in the day" feature.
