Brown Plaid Skirt: CAbi
Blue and White Button Down: CAbi
Green Vest: CAbi
Belt: (you guessed it) CAbi
Boots: Maripa
Red Pea Coat: Abercrombie and Fitch
Nude Fishnets: Don't know brand--bought at Marshall's
This is one of my all time favorite outfits....I bought the skirt in the CAbi fall 2006 collection with a brown turtleneck sweater. However, there was a picture on the back of the book with this shirt, vest and belt with the skirt--which I never would have thought of myself! My grandmother bought the shirt and vest and gave it to me for Christmas. I'm so glad--they are 2 of my favorite items and I love wearing the blue and white shirt with the green vest for a splash of color.
I'm sure you remember a few weeks ago about me mentioning my neverending coat collection (like cashmere, it's been built up over time--as in 10 years of time!). I can't tell you the last time I ever set foot in an Abercrombie--it got a bit grungy for me. Well more than a bit. But before it changed styles, it was a great place to buy sweaters and coats--this pea coat was bought by Santa during that time.
I used to live in Abercrombie and Aeropostale before either a) my style changed; b) their style changed; or c) a mixture of both (the answer is probably c!). What store did you used to love but now rarely shop at anymore?

Love those fantastic bright colors. Thank you for fighting back the urge to wear all black, Leslie!
I also loved Abercrombie before they started selling ripped jeans and cheap t-shirts that cost a fortune! I have a cordory pea coat from there I got in 1998 that I still love to wear...
In late high school and early college I had so much Abercrombie, that my friends called me Abbie. It would be nothing for an outfit to consist of a baseball cap, 2 shirts (I have always loved my layers), belt, pants, socks and messanger bag from Abercrombie on a normal day at class. I haven't step foot in the store in probably 6 years now! My style has definitely changed, as well as, their selection! Love the blue & green combo - mentally going through closet - yep, just may have to copy!
Aww I absolutely LOVE this look on you! The red jacket is my fave!
Right now, I LIVE in NY&Co alll the time! I have a feeling though, that in a few years, when I have kids and I am a "stay at home mom" I will look back at these days and realize that I probably rarely wear clothes like that again!
Alas, at that point i will probably reside in sweatpants and a hoodie... then again, I could be a fabulous SAHM, and be the ultimate style conscious soccer mom! (Hmm! I have a goal!)
