Mighty Closet: Pam Daglian, Outfit 3

Pam says dressing is all about comfort for her, but even at her most casual you won’t find her walking around in a sweatsuit. San Francisco weather is so crazy, one minute it’s gorgeous, half an hour later it’s freezing, The hoodie is a wardrobe staple here, and woe to the girl who leaves home without tights under her skirt (or at least a pair tucked in her bag).

Pam’s bright hoodie is by Lucky Jeans. Her fuzzy cap is Anthropologie, and her orange enamel hoops are from Rubygirl.

Her skirt is by Texture Clothing, purchased at the Renegade Craft Fair. Her gold tights are from Hue.

Pam’s Fluevogs are for hoofing it around the city. She says, “Anything I wear has to be public transit proof since I don’t own a car and I’m too chicken to bike to work.”

Tomorrow check in for a favorite work look.

Mighty Closet: Pam Daghlian, Outfit 2

These are Pam’s comfy Sunday clothes. What does Pam like to do with her Sundays you ask? Let’s look to the Post-it inspiration wall:

Oh, look! She’s driving to Big Sur with her charming husband. She’s probably singing along to the radio as I type this. Actually, she’s probably at work, but please suspend your disbelief because I prefer to think of Pam with her feet on the dash and the wind in her hair.

Pam’s shirt is by MUJI, she bought it in Berlin because she is intercontinental that way. Note how it nips in at the magical tiny point on her torso, but still lets her inhale at will. Dear designers, more tops like this please.

She bought her bird bag at a farmer’s market in Virgina, it’s by Oblinaknit. Just think of all the magazines you could fit in there.

Her jeans are Gap, and exposing that red side hem is so key. Her orange button ring was from a craft show.

Pam’s shoes are by Robert Clergerie. They were originally $400, but Pam got them for $90. Pam says, “Yay, deals!”

The earrings and necklace were both gifts from her husband. The pendant is porcelain and was purchased at Rare Device in San Francisco, which is apparently where all of my friends’ significant others go for gifts.

Tomorrow, please join us for Happy Yellow Sweatshirt Day. You’re already off filling a wall with Post-It ideas aren’t you? I suspected as much.

Mighty Closet: Pam Daghlian, Outfit 1

This is Pam Daghlian, and she is fun. Pam is the type of person who makes lists of things to do on Post-it Notes and sticks them to the wall so she and her husband have ideas when they have a little free time. She laughs a lot, and she has a great smile. See?

Pretty great.

I met Pam because she runs events for Adaptive Path, which used to be one of my freelance clients. Pam looks so sharp every time I see her at an event. She chooses clothes with clean lines, and isn’t afraid of color.

Her simple apple-green skirt is by San Francisco’s Sunhee Moon. You can never find this perfect A-line skirt because Pam bought them all. She says, “I have this same skirt in black, denim, and light blue, and they’ve got my number to call when new colors come in.”

Tip! Try a simple skirt as your base layer instead of throwing on yet another pair of jeans. Well played, lady.

Her denim jacket with zipper detail is Anthropologie, and the colorful scarf is Oilily.

Her peacock feather bracelet is Ambience.

Watches are so much more convenient than digging out your cell phone. This one is Red Monkey.

When I asked Pam if she’d do a Mighty Closet, she looked baffled, even though she was dressed impeccably when I asked. Perhaps it’s because Pam is a woman dedicated to sensible shoes. She has to be on her feet all day for events, so she needs practical footwear. Exhibit A:

\

These Dansko shoes aren’t objectionable, and they work pretty well with the outfit, but some wedges or bright pink ballet flats would pull the look together much better. I told her we’d post her crazy cute clothes and then go out for a shoe makeover whenever she said the word. Shoe makeover! Pam, I’m waiting by the phone.

Tomorrow, join us for Pam’s lazy Sunday look.
