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.

Feeling Frumpy

Most of this outfit's components are a bit over-sized, so I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise that I ended up feeling a bit frumpy in it.  I liked the green/purple/yellow color combo, but I will have to find a way to make it work in some other outfit.

Day 24

I'd been wanting to try a tunic over a skirt for a while now, and today was the day.  I think it worked out great!  The sweater vest as an under layer did make me pretty hot all day though.  And my favorite part is actually the tiny stripe of red sock you can see.

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 4

Lucky you!  I got home while there was still light, so outside pictures it is.  Hopefully I don't look too bulky around the middle.  This skirt is long enough it almost reaches my boots, but that makes my legs look all stubby.  So, I rolled it up and belted it to the length I wanted!

I think that skirts three days in a row is a record for me.  I was really happy the way this outfit turned out. Navy and tan may not be exciting, but it looks good!

I borrowed the scarf from my mom.  She got it as a Christmas present from my grandma, who bought it on her cruise while in Egypt.  I love it!

Stealing Hubby's Clothes

I've seen quite a few outfits pairing a big loose shirt with skinny jeans and I liked the look, but something didn't quite turn out for me.  I look very wide in the photo, though it didn't feel that way in person.  Hey, at least I was comfy.  I will have to play with the proportions a bit before I try again.

Neutrals with a Bright

I've seen a lot of people mixing one bright color with neutrals, and I've liked the way it looks.  This was my attempt at it.  I think it turned out pretty well.  Plus the headband gave a little extra color, while making my hair much easier to do. Bonus!

Preppy with a Puppy

Another guest appearance by one of the many animals living in my house: my dog Zoe.  She is a mutt - part heeler, part border collie.  She follows me around the house everywhere I go. 

I bought this skirt on eBay and thought I would wear it once as-is to see how it looked.  I feel like it is a little too long, so I may try to hem it up.  These shoes were in my donate box, but it's a good thing I hadn't given them away yet.  I didn't have any other shoes to wear with this outfit, but they were just perfect!  Back in my closet they go...
