What I Wore Wednesday

Lindsey at the Pleated Poppy has this great link-up to focus attention on getting dressed and feeling cute about what you wear! What a great idea!

Thursday – work

The argyle sweater was a gift from my mom at some point in the past and is sooo comfy! This is before it got really cold around the area but it’s still cold in the office so sweaters are a nice thing to have. The brown pants are my standard work pants.

Friday – casual day at work

I have caught up with the fashionistas – here are my new skinny jeans! I found them at Goodwill, the same trip as the wonderful coat expedition. They were $4 and fit perfectly! I can tuck them into my tall brown boots and they look great. Yay!

Saturday - errands

This purple shirt is sooo comfy. It’s another Goodwill find, so it was probably about $4. The purple scarf was probably a gift from someone, so I can’t remember what that cost. I decided that since it was a bit cold, I wanted something more than just a shirt and the scarf was the perfect thing! I love this way of wearing one of those. It keeps me warm and is an accessory!

Sunday

No picture because I forgot. :)

Monday – work

But it was 5 degrees when I woke up. FIVE DEGREES. I had to layer in serious proportions.

Tuesday – work holiday party!

I couldn’t find anything to wear for the annual holiday party that evening that didn’t make me feel ridiculous. So a festive purple long sleeve shirt it was.

I do need to mention that these are the new pants I found at Gordman’s on Black Friday. They are quite comfy and have POCKETS! I love pockets in pants for when I run events. I can carry my cell phone with me and not look weird carrying it. :)

Wednesday – another work event

So I should have worn THIS outfit for the holiday party the day before. But I didn’t find this cute sweater with a bit of sparkle in the weave until after the party when I was starting to shop my closet for the Europe trip packing list. In any case, I felt very festive for my office’s Volunteer Appreciation Dinner.

And yes, they felt appreciated by the end of the evening.

What I Wore Wednesday

Lindsey at the Pleated Poppy has this great link-up to focus attention on getting dressed and feeling cute about what you wear! Her pictures are obviously much better than my iPhone pics but I felt so good about my outfit choices this week that I thought I’d try linking up. Let’s see if I can remember where everything came from!

Thursday

 

I love this orange shirt with flowers and sparkles on it. It looks great by itself or with a jacket. I found it at Goodwill for $4. :) The brown corduroy skirt is Old Navy and the brown suede boots are Payless, I think, from years ago.

Friday

 

Today was a sad day. I had a memorial service for the college friend who passed away last month. Oh boy, that was tough. 500 people in a beautiful church saying wonderful things about a man who no one would ever see again. But, we had the yin and yang because after work, I coordinated a wedding rehearsal for M’s sister. So that was good!

This outfit is a black skirt I’ve had forever and a black sweater that I recently picked up at a garage sale for $3. Paired with tights (it was absolutely FREEZING that day!) and my audition heels.

Saturday – Wedding Day!

  

This was such a fun day. :)

These are my black work pants that are so comfy but don’t have pockets. Why don’t more women’s pants have pockets? This needs to be corrected. Paired with this wonderful Tahari jacket from TJ Maxx and a teal silk shirt from the Limited a few weeks ago for my birthday.

The bride told me that I was wearing my power suit for the wedding! The jacket doesn’t exactly match the pants, but it works. :)

Sunday – I totally forgot to take a picture.

Imagine me in jeans a long-sleeve blue shirt. Done.

Monday

 

Long-sleeve black shirt from Target (I think) and a polka dot skirt from Ann Taylor Loft. Black pumps that I thought were comfortable and definitely were NOT by 3 pm. Bad choice. Someone remind me of that the next time I need black shoes to wear with an outfit.

Tuesday

 

These are my old standbys – brown slacks from Kohl’s (maybe?) that I also have in grey and black. LOVE. So comfy and no need for a belt. Paired with a cream shirt that was another Goodwill find. The thing you can’t really see in this picture is the shoes – cream loafer heels that I got at a clothing swap. So much more comfortable without stockings, so I love that it was warm enough this week to do it!

Wednesday

 

In addition to a work meeting outside of the office this morning, plus a Happy Hour at my alma mater, today was a good day to get dressed up. My brown dress is from Kohl’s and you can’t tell from the picture but it has a great boatneck with beads and shell details. That was a gift from my in-laws over the summer. The blue cardigan is from Ann Taylor and the brown kitten heels are Mossimo.

Funny story about those shoes – my Grandma was going to wear them to the wedding that I crashed back in October, but they hurt her feet. She said she wouldn’t wear them and would I like them? They fit, so yes, please! I find it odd that my grandma and I have the same taste in shoes, but whatever. Don’t judge.

And thanks Sonya for the idea to participate!
