Jun 25th - Outfit #25 - Bringing my "A" Game

It's the last week of June! This month has gone by so fast! I have actually managed to do an entire month of neutrals. The mind boggles. 

Anyway, I thought I ought to step it up this week; really put in an effort to make interesting outfits. Usually, I'll browse through my spreadsheet, and see what hasn't been worn and then try to put together outfits around those items. This month I say, "Meh" to that. There are a few things in my capsule that I just plain don't like and haven't worn. I'm just going to make some fun outfits.

Starting with this one!

I was aiming for a long over long less shaped look than I usually do, and think it worked well for that. It's not the most flattering shape on my body overall, but that's okay. Not every outfit has to be a "sexy secretary" or perfectly flattering.

This is my brown drapey cardi again (last worn here), and my sequined tunic top (last worn here, 2nd outfit). I didn't get a huge amount of wear out of the tunic, but I knew that going in. I still love it, and I'll keep it, even though it doesn't go with a lot - it's just unique enough to make the cut.

I'm wearing the high-waisted taupe pencil skirt again (last time here) - you'd never know it was high-waisted from this outfit!

It started out warm and sunny this morning and has degenerated into windy, cloudy and rainy, so I was really glad of the tights. They push this outfit over the top for me, particularly with my crazy-ass Fluevogs.

My legs are so pasty that if I don't wear a contrasting tight, you can barely see the shoes! I last wore these shoes here. I will be keeping them (duh), even though they are a 4" heel. They're just so spectacular...but not practical for a ton of wear.

Here's the bag portion of our program:

That's a vegan Mat & Nat bag that I bought on consignment a couple of years ago. I like the faux fur and the brass studs on the trim.

Lots o' hardware today:

The brass bracelet on the left is a keeper; the one on the right is in the giveaway pile, as it's starting to reveal its copper nature. The ring on my thumb drove me nuts and I moved it to my other hand's index finger. Can you see the ring on my other index finger? It's meant to look like a nail wrapped around.
