COC Week 9

I know, I fell behind... but I missed taking pictures a couple days, and it has literally taken me THIS long to put the outfits back on and take pictures. I'm still missing one, but since I think my BFF might have a coronary if I make her wait any longer, I'll go ahead and post and add the pic later. ;) ;)

Monday, Nov. 1st
This black/white print dress is from my beloved H&M, and actually came with a sash, but I've opted to wear it with a wide belt. I actually like how it looks with the belt much better. I'm wearing this with a pair of green tights and booties. Sorry for the weird angle of some of these pics... my hubby has a bum leg so he took these pics from the couch.

I just took this picture tonight (2 weeks later) so forgive the non-public-approved hair and makeup. Jacket is from Target, leopard print top was a gift from my mom, wide leg twill pants are from Old Navy. They are pretty long and sometimes fit funky at the waist (depends on if I'm bloated or not) so I don't wear these very often. I'll keep them but probably table them until the wide leg trend comes back.
Wednesday, Nov. 3rd
Got this dress from Macy's for my birthday a couple years ago. Since it's too short to not wear hosiery, I really only wear this in the fall. But since it's sleeveless, I have to wear it with a long sleeve shirt underneath (this one from Gap). Worn with my semi-opaque tights with a bit of sheen... the camera's flash makes my legs look super shiny, but I can assure you in normal light they aren't this bad.





























Thursday, Nov. 4th
This green tee is of unknown origins, but I love the prairie-style cream colored lace detail around the neckline. It used to have a tiny delicate ribbon that was strung through it, but it got destroyed in the wash long ago. The only downside to this top is that it's a little too short for my torso/large chest, so I always have to layer it. By the time I do that, I'm not certain it's very flattering on me. The skirt is from Old Navy, I believe and is comfortable, fits well and I usually get nice compliments on it. However, I think the skirt may have run its course in my wardrobe and I'm thinking it's time to let it go.

Friday, Nov. 5th
 I wore this exact outfit (sans black shirt underneath) to my 10 year reunion in August and I think I looked pretty awesome in it. I might keep this one for weekend/special events rather than a work outfit. I dunno, I don't care for it with the shirt underneath. The tunic is from Target (though I have to tell you I saw a girl around 11 years old wearing it at the mall as a dress!) and the jeggings are JCP, natch. See how jeggings can look just like skinny jeans? Oh and they only have 1% spandex, which is less than a lot of my dress pants. Just for the record. :)

  1. Both Monday and Wednesday are smokin' hot ensembles. Also love Tuesday's leopard print top under blazer, but I think you're right about the wide-leg pants. I personally like Thursday's skirt... don't know if I'd toss it yet! Friday's look is adorable; I want jeggings now. Maybe try a tight 3/4-sleeve or long-sleeved top underneath, rather than short-sleeved? I really like the layered look and think it might just be the sleeve length that's throwing it off.

  2. IMO-there is a perfect skirt length or certain skirt lengths for every person. Monday is too long and Wednesday is too short. I think on Monday your top half looks like summer and your bottom half looks like fall or winter-so I would have paired a sweater or used a lighter pair of tights.
    I like Tuesday-this would also have worked well with a darker brown or black pants..or ooh ooh..a chocolate jacket or color somewhere. I would also think that on Wednesday you could add a super cool belt.
    Thursday is just fine,there isn't anything wrong with it--it seems like you are losing a bit of color when you get to the bottom of your closet :)
    Friday-I liked it better without a shirt..maybe a jacket/sweater would have been good for work?
