Today, I thought I was going to have to sit down with a lawyer, so I dressed conservatively:
Okay, stop laughing! That's conservative for me.

... my accessory pieces are the belt, one of the necklaces, the bracelet and the earrings.

I just got my hair cut tonight, so forgive the helmet head. It will be back to its messy self tomorrow.

Although this outfit has quite a lot of sparkle (the skirt, the gems on the tee, the bracelet and earrings), the jacket, belt and boots knock those stars back down to earth. I kind of like the safari-meets-glam look of this.
I'm including this picture because this is how I planned my outfits for the week:
I put together a bunch of outfits and took pictures of them. I uploaded them and then decided what I'd wear on what day. You can see that I've included the bracelt on the sleeve of the jacket, the doubled-up necklace and I even wrapped the belt around the jacket so I'd remember how to wear it.

Cuute! I love how you sat everything out. I probably should have taken part of this challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love the green lace skirt on you. It's so pretty!
Wow...green lace!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you have taken funky clothes and given them a traditional edge. So stylish. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt and blazer with the brown accents! Your hair is not that helmet-y, but I know how you feel.
ReplyDeletelovely!!lovely!!...u r so amazing at 40 something....u rock!!!..
ReplyDeleteYou look great with the belted jacket! It really emphasizes your small waist.
ReplyDeleteI love those colors on you. It's amazing how well ivory suits your skin tone and hair color. Pretty pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Megan! I had to plan so that I didn't accidently repeat an element (layered items or same combination of things).
ReplyDeleteWendy - it's shiny too!
Jane, thanks! I always love these challenges.
Thanks, Alison!
Thanks so much, Sak - and welcome! Thank you for commenting. :)
Thanks, Kasmira - heck, I've worked hard to get that waist small. I'm showin' it off!
Kristen, thanks! I love ivory (not so much white).
I love how that sparkly skirt is a "conservative" piece for you. You blend funky or dressy items with your more businesslike clothes so seamlessly.
ReplyDeleteKari, it's funny, I would NEVER have worn this skirt to work before I started this blog. It would have languished in my closet waiting for a "special occasion" and never been worn. Thanks so much!
