Modeling Pic - Fancy@Work Week of Oct 23rd

I usually post my Outfits of the Week laid out because I pick them out on Sundays and execute during the week, rarely having time to stop and *click* during the week.

BUT due to your requests, I am going to try to snap pics of a few of my outfits during the week to show how they look on.

In other news, Miss Fancy is officially re-branding Outfits of the week to Fancy@Work..because, after all, these are my looks for work so they should be named accordingly, right?

Tuesday 10/25/11 : Lace beige jacket (Random Store on 6th Ave & 40th Street), Beige sleeveless shirt with detail at neck and pearl buttons (Ann Taylor - Fall '10), Black wool mini skirt (Forever 21), Black opaque tights (Target), Black heeled lace up ankle boots (Joan and David), Leather wrap around watch with black chain detail (La Mer)

Here is how it looks all together!


I tend to OD and Fancy@Work - Week of Oct 31

This week I have begun tweeting (Follow me @ArtOfBeingFancy) and I love it! I love reading other fashionista's tips and being able to contribute some of my own (search #AobFTips).

I have been tweeting every day (OD) and one of the tips I tweeted was #AOBFTip: Create instant Fancy by adding a colorful broach to your coat or jacket!

I have a quickly growing arsenal of broaches:

As I update my #fancycoatbroachparty, I'll keep on posting the pictures to keep you inspired! Of course, I tend to OD, so here is my take on adding fancy with not one, but two broaches.
Coat: Ann Taylor beige tweed coat. Broaches: Red suede and leather flower, Camel enamel English Bulldog broach



In honor of Halloween (and to increase Team Morale) everyone has to wear orange and/or a mask on Monday. I have not decided what mask I am going to wear, but I will wear orange (since it is one of favorite colors!)

Fall Motivation and Fancy Outfits - Week of Oct 23

I miss you guys!

I know a bunch of you lurk, but are not following yet ~sad face~

If you like Oh You Fancy , then please be sure to sign up/follow me so you can get all the notifications for FB, Twitter and the new fabulously, fancy website: www.ArtOfFancy.com.

Now that that's out of the way --back to fashion!

I love the change in seasons, but when it starts getting cold --it takes me a minute to get used to that morning chill! I tend to put an extra bit of energy into my Fall/Winter looks because I need some motivation to get out of bed in the mornings. Plus, it's a challenge for me to look fancy when I want to wrap up in a Snuggie.

So here are this week's Fancy Outfits! Which one is your fave?

Fancy Musings: Cleansing is not just for closets AND getting ready for Fall

When two girl who are "friends" start dating two guys who are "friends", inevitably a mess is the result. Some women do a really good job of balancing love and life .....and some women are just built to always choose D!ck over Chicks (DoC) --regardless as to whether that d!ck is actually worth the sacrifice.

I knew for almost 7 months that someone I had considered a fracquaintance (not really friend, but a bit more than an acquaintance) had chosen DoC, but this week, I finally had the opportunity to confront the person and address it. The "friendship" was over for me the minute I first heard about the DOC decision, but it just felt really good to let that person know that I knew and more importantly, I simply did not care to salvage the relationship with her. I wished her well, but I would no longer be part of the ride.

People come in and out of your life for a reason. Sometimes you have clean more than your closet!

Just a few pieces I picked up over the past week or so in prep for a Fancy Fall (no, I don't plan on wearing these all at once!)




Keep it Fancy!
