Meant to be Blue

This skirt is one of my recent thrift store finds.  I just loved the pattern, and it's a nice soft jersey so it is super comfortable.  The blue matched this shirt almost exactly.  Kinda crazy when that happens by accident!  My hubby said that it was weird that I was matchy matchy today.

Safari

It's been quite a while since I last wore this dress.  I like it, but it requires a lot a ironing, which I don't get around to very often.  I added the cardigan and belt to give it some interest, but in hindsight all neutrals was not the way to go for interesting.  At least the belt tied in the warmer brown of the boots.

I wore this the day I went thrifting at lunch with my mom.  I found a few goodies which will show up here sooner or later.

Colorful Feet

I liked this outfit well enough, but decided that it really needed some fun shoes to give it a little extra oomph.  I'd say it worked!  I got several compliments today on both my shoes and my necklace.  I found the necklace on eBay for around $1.50 - can't beat that!

Muted

I bought this shirt on eBay - no idea what brand it is.  I really like the pattern, but the colors are a bit more muted than what I usually wear.  I am also not used to a cowl neck.  I'm thinking that I will send it to the donate/swap pile because I don't think I will wear it enough to justify the space in my closet.

Day 30!

Today is the debut of outerwear on my blog.  I don't usually take pictures with my coats and jackets because they aren't really very exciting, and generally don't match what I'm wearing.  I plan to change that in the future, assuming I can find some killer thrifty deals. 

Today was just warm enough that I could wear a heavy jacket instead of a big coat, and I had the perfect one sitting in my closet.  I think it adds a lot to the outfit today, because otherwise it is kind of boring.  I guess I ran out of steam at the end.  Or possibly I just wore my most boring picks least, and since I was trying to get more wear out of each item I ended up with all the boring stuff together.  Thank goodness for accessories!

Day 22

I was feeling distinctly uninspired this morning.  I kinda just threw some clothes on.  I hope this is not foreshadowing the rest of the challenge.  It turned out okay, but the denim jacket was really hot this afternoon. 

That's Hobbs begging me to open the door so he can escape.  I think he'd change his mind if he knew how much snow was out there.

Day 19

I ended up having to go into work for an hour or so today.  Other than that, I accomplished nothing in the real world.  I did play video games for several hours though (Fable 2, if anyone is interested).  I was pretty dressed up for vegging on the couch.  I wanted to get a picture outside again, but it didn't stop raining all day, so inside it was. Madeline and Bullseye decided to join me for my photo shoot and they are adorable, so I guess it all worked out for the best.

Day 8

Boy, it was WINDY today!  Of all the ways weather can make you miserable, wind is the worst.  Nothing terribly exciting today, but I like the way sequins add a bit of sparkle to an otherwise plain old outfit.

This is only the second or third time I've worn this shirt and it just realized today how horribly it was cut.  It was totally not cut straight with the grain of the cloth so the neckline on one side keeps dropping further than the other side.  I don't know how long I will be able to wear it before it drives me nuts.  That makes me sad because I like it a lot. :(  I'm going to have to learn to check these things BEFORE I leave the store.

Wild at Work

I wasn't sure about the new coworkers reaction to my leopard print, but nobody said anything.  Guess that means I can still get crazier!  I wasn't sure about the navy tights, but they worked better than anything else in my drawer so I went with it.

I got these boots from my MIL for Christmas.  I love them!  They are just what my wardrobe needed, plus comfy to wear.  The only thing I don't like is that the buckles on bottom are loose, so they clink every time I walk.  It almost sounds like I am wearing spurs.  I will have to brainstorm a solution to that.  The earrings are also new from MIL for Christmas: long dangly black feathers. Fun!

A Little Groovy

EDIT:  I just realized that this was supposed to post last week, but I still had it in drafts!

The print of this shirt seems a bit psychedelic to me for some reason.  I love it anyway.  The brown of the outline in the print exactly matches my brown slacks. The back of the shirt has some interesting gathers.  I'm not sure if I like them or not.  It doesn't matter either way if I keep wearing a cardigan over it.

This dress is much to short for work if worn as a dress.  As a skirt, it is just perfect!
