COC Week 4

Monday, September 27th 

Today I wore a gray lightweight flyaway cardigan (no closures, it just hangs open in front) that is cinched in the back to help keep a trimmer shape. Sorry I didn't get a back view on this one. The tee has a shimmery gold dotted design with sequins/beads on it. Both tops are from JCP. Pants are my basic black ones from WHBM that I've worn a couple times (remember, I'm re-wearing bottoms since I have more of those than tops!). I'm happy with this outfit but it's not one of my favorites in my wardrobe. It's very comfy!

Love this outfit today! Basic black knit dress with empire waist (I can't remember wear I got this... probably Target?) with charcoal tights. The dress is too short to wear without hosiery, so I typically only wear this in the fall/winter. Scarf was a gift from a friend for my birthday last year; silver bangles are Decree (JCP) and the pink bracelet was a gift from another friend from one of her trips to the Philippines. I have to tell my hubs to remember to include my shoes in these shots, but this day I wore my black booties.

Today at work we were visited by Tim Gunn, Chief Creative Officer of Liz Claiborne and (more famously, in case you are otherwise unaware) a judge on Project Runway. We were allowed to wear jeans to the rally where Tim was speaking, but we were supposed to wear JCP colors (red and white). Well, considering it was TIM GUNN I decided to go for something a little cuter than my JCP polo. Therefore, I opted for a Bisou Bisou (JCP) tee with the fabulous velvet jacket I got at the Banana outlet last year. (Sadly it's a size too big now- I guess there are worse problems to have- so it was a little too loose. But don't tell my husband that it doesn't fit because it cost a lot so heaven help me if I don't wear it!) I'm also wearing a pair of green wedges that are supremely comfortable and I love them. This is one of those "they don't match, they go" scenarios.





Thursday, September 30th
I actually got a LOT of compliments on this outfit today. The cream-colored eyelet dress I bought online at Target a couple years ago, and the first time I tried it on, I hated it and wanted to return it. But the retro shape grew on me and now I really like it. Like Tuesday's dress, it's too short to wear without tights, so I only wear it in the fall. The tights are SPANX with a braided pattern. The shoes are Michael by Michael Kors. I also wore a long necklace that is not pictured.










Friday, October 1st

Today was "wear pink" day to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I have had this shirt for quite a while; got it at Old Navy and it has a cute pattern w/beads on the left side. Jeans are Calvin Klein, flats are from Target.
















Well, 4 weeks down and I still have quite a bit in my closet. I have already kind of eyeballed what won't make it through the challenge... some things will be going into my "early & post pregnancy" pile, and several seasonal items that will be closeted until spring. When I'm done wearing everything, I'll inventory those items and show you all what I'm getting rid of.
