Follow along as I try to find my way out of the sweatpants and into something more stylish.
When: January 3, 2011 (last Monday)
What: turtleneck (Gap), pants (Banana Republic), boots (Nine West), studs (Sam Moon), coat – below (Ann Taylor)
New haircut – what do we think? I’m kind of hating the bangs right now (they keep looking crooked – no bueno). Anyhoo, this is the first time I’ve owned a black turtleneck during the winter, and now I want five of them – I feel like I could wear one every day! And I probably would if you guys wouldn’t start to think I’m weird. :) Anyhoo, this is pretty much my go-to realtor outfit for the winter.
When: January 4, 2011 (last Tuesday)
What: striped shirt (Target), cardigan (Gap), skinny jeans (Gap), boots (Steve Madden), necklace (Sam Moon)
Can I just say how much I love my new jeans?? All the skinny jeans I’ve tried on in the past have been a bit too . . . skinny. Super tight in the waist, too low in the back, you know what I mean? But not these babies – they’re a bit higher in back and the waistband is lined with fabric (instead of just denim) so they’re super comfy. New faves, for sure!! I scooped them up with a gift card from my sister, which makes them extra sweet. :) Oh, and I felt super fancy all day in this necklace! Normally I would never wear anything so big during the day, but I thought this outfit needed a little zip and now I’m thinking I might try more adventurous necklaces in the future. We’ll see. :)
When: January 5, 2011 (last Wednesday)
What: argyle sweater (Gap), button up (Banana Republic), skinny jeans (Gap), boots (Target), necklaces (Jess LC and gift)
After two days in a row of wearing black and gray I thought I could use a little color! I tried on another argyle sweater while I was getting dressed (I know, who has two?) and decided to give that one the boot as a part of the 111 in 1/11 challenge – and it’s about time, I’ve never liked that other sweater and this one is definitely cuter. And yes, I’m wearing the Gap jeans two days in a row – they rock. :)
When: January 6, 2011 (last Thursday)
What: sweater (Gap, gift), cargo pants (Banana Republic), t-shirt (Old Navy), moccasins (Nine West), flower ring (market in St. Remy, France), studs (Sam Moon)
While this won’t get ranked as the cutest outfit I wore this week, it sure was the comfiest! The snuggly sweater and snugglier moccasins were perfect for what my day had in store – vacuuming, taking down Christmas decorations, doing a little work, and generally trying to tame the chaos. Hey, at least it wasn’t sweatpants, right? :)
When: January 7, 2011 (yesterday)
What: chambray button up (J. Crew), white tank (Banana Republic), skinny jeans (Forever 21), boots (Target), necklace (Forever 21), flower ring (market in St. Remy, France)
So how do we feel about an outfit that is essentially a denim suit? I feel like I should hate it, but I actually really like it! I saw some style bloggers rocking it and I thought I’d give it a whirl – it seems like as long as you vary the shades of the denim it looks alright. Yes? No?
