I know that not everything is black&white and there are grays in the world, but it was all black&white for me today except for a spot of red. Hard to see isn't it? I had matching coral earrings actually.
Scarf Challenge is starting easy with the cooler temperatures in SoCal. The outfit is my current tolerance for denim on denim. I had to sit down from 5am to 7pm and work on a research project proposal all day today. I felt really cozy and warm in the layers and cashmere scarf. I also had a white puffer vest that I forgot to photograph.
What's your go to outfit when you need to be comfortable? I love being wrapped up in scarfs or pashminas, and definitely wear a vest as it doesn't interfere with my typing.
This was the first day of my scarf challenge. Over the next couple of week, I'll be wearing a scarf every day until I go through all my scarfs. It is a good time to do this since I can use both heavy and light-weight scarfs depending on the weather.
The reason for the challenge is simple. I have too many scarfs and I don't make enough use of them. Even after huge scarf reduction last year when I gave away a bunch of them, I a drawer full of scarfs. Not surprising when I think my late Mother had a similar scarf drawer, in her case, along with a lot of flower pins.
I don't think it will be hard to accomplish this. I'll go about my regular ways of dressing except that I will have to think consider colors a lot more and maybe will skip necklaces most of the time. Along the way, I will probably consider new knots, alternative ways to wear scarfs and new give away items. I might even give away some of the less used ones through the blog. I'll just start the challenge and let it flow on its own.
And by all means, if you'd like to play with me on this, please add yourselves in the comments and I'll make a summary of everyone's scarf posts weekly.
We have a red carpet party every year to watch the Oscars. It's nice that everyone plays along. Our guests had some great outfits today some funny some serious.
Since I treated his as a costume pretty much, I didn't feel like pressing this old Maid of Honor dress. The dress was acquired post-maternity so I added a belt to keep it in place and the bubble sleeve shirt for extra coverage when I was entertaining.
It's time for me to end this challenge. I loved playing along and challenging myself to combine Spring pieces with Winter pieces. I also loved looking at what I had in my closet and interpreting the trends of Spring with what I had.
I would have made the following additional five outfits with these pieces if most of them didn't end up in the laundry hamper. :)
White tunic under graphic tunic dress with colorblock bet, turquoise pin on the collar, black tights and boots: Obviously his would be a weekend or evening party outfit.
Flower pattern jersey top with black cardigan and denim skirt and tall boots: In this case, I'd wrap the chunky necklace around my arm as a three strand bracelet.
White tunic untucked under the citrus polka dot cardigan buttoned up and belted with the colorblock belt. I'd add the chunky necklace, brogue booties and pair this combination with black pants.
White tunic tucked in the skirt under the citrus polka dot cardigan buttoned up and belted with the colorblock belt. I'd add the chunky necklace, polka dot black hose and black boots.
White tunic under the jersey top and pair it with the black straight pants and brogue booties.
Thanks Small Fabric of My Life for organizing such a fun challenge. Looking forward to the next one.
Here is the recap of all my posts from the week:
Since it was still on the cold side, I added the motorcycle jacket in the last picture to all my outfits outdoors. In addition, I only used this handbag every day, but haven't always photographed it.
Please give me a moment to tell me which one was your favorite in comments and which wasn't if any.
Last day of the challenge! It was such a fast week with a busy schedule at work. It was really convenient to know what I need to wear every morning on such a week. Maybe I'll pick up the habit of planning week's outfits from Sunday.
At the last day, the only thing I added was the graphic print dress. It was going to be a casual day so I left the graphic print dress to Friday. This dress made an appearance on this blog once last year. The shoes and black pants make such a difference between two looks, don't they?
I'll post a recap of my challenge week this evening.
