Mock Turtleneck Sweaters

I bought several mock turtleneck sweaters a few years ago.  They certainly work fine as a sweater, but now that I've started remixing they have become a bit more difficult to work with.  I don't have a lot of ideas on how to layer well with them, but I'm trying to work with what I have on hand.

Wide Pattern

I really liked the pattern on this vest when I bought it, but I hated the way it looked every time I tried to wear it because it made my torso look extra-wide.  Then I read about something similar on Fashion For Nerds.  She fixed the problem by wearing a cardigan over top, so that it creates vertical lines.  I tried it, and voila!  I call it a success.

Weekend Wear

I just thought I would give you an example of my usual weekend attire.  It is a bit boring, which is why I don't usually take pictures.  This is my very cozy X-Men t-shirt.  (I am also wearing slippers.)  One of my cats, Madeline, decided to make an appearance.

Layered Tights

I layered tights!  It's an achievement for me.  I really like how this look came together.  There's a lot more going on than I am used to.

You may have noticed that I have a lot of clothes from Express.  That because I bought most of my more professional looking office pieces there, back when I was dressing boringly.  They fit me well though, so I am just mixing them in with the rest of my closet to keep getting my money's worth.

I really love the sleeves on this shirt.  They are just fun to wear.  I was very comfy in this outfit all day.

I'll Figure It Out

I've really wanted a lace shirt for a while.  When I found this one on clearance I grabbed it, but I still haven't totally figured out what to do with it yet.  This is the first time I wore it, with just a sweater vest over top.  I did get a couple of compliments, so I must not have done too bad for my first try!
