Something Different

I tried something new (for me anyway) with this outfit - a cardi over a mock turtleneck.  I actually like the proportions, but the black pattern in the shirt seems jarring with the rest of the outfit.

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.

Give It Away Now

I was trying to find another way to wear this sweater besides by itself.  I don't know that this worked out very well though.  The proportions are just off somehow.  I may give up and donate it.

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.

New Beginnings

I wore this to the first day at my new job.  I found the cardigan on clearance and loved the lace detail on the sleeves.I also really liked the way my scarf turned out.  Sorry I didn't get a very good photo of it.  The tank top is really more of a reddish-orange, rather than the pink it looks like in the photo.

Sassy Skirt

I read on another blog somewhere that Asos.com had started shipping to the US with free shipping both ways, so immediately had to go check it out.  They have so many clothes it is hard to pick just a few.  I ordered some things, and ended up returning a few of them, but it was so easy!

This skirt is one of the things I kept.  The pattern is a little more loud than I am used to, but I have decided that I need a little more of that in my closet.  Plus, it has a fun side-kick gather.  The day I wore it I got many compliments, and was told that I looked "sassy".

Quick Pick

I purchased this dress on a recent trip to Denver because all I had left to wear were pants and an unbreathing shirt and I was roasting hot.  I just ran into Target, found the first thing I saw that looked like it would work, bought it, and ran out.  I have been so happy that it was this dress I grabbed.  I love it!  The floral pattern just adds something that my closet was missing before.  The top is a bit skimpy so I usually cover up a bit when I wear it.

Leopard Print

It took a while to work up to wearing this dress at work.  It is cut very modestly, but it is very skin-hugging.

I was hot on top all day.  I was wearing another shirt under the dress because the trim around the arms is very scratchy.
