No Repeats, Day 14
Over the weekend, I tried my hand at a casual outfit that doesn't involve jeans. Perhaps you've noticed that I wear a lot of jeans when I'm not wearing work clothes? I'm trying to break myself of that a little, so yesterday and today's outfits are casual without jeans too. Yesterday's outfit strikes me as a little reminiscent of something a kindergarten teacher might wear, but I like it anyway. I'd previously only worn the dress to the beach, since it's a little too short for me without tights underneath.
Dress: Old Navy
Sweater: Gap
Leggings: Target
Boots: Sporto via Piperlime
Necklace: New York & Company
Headband: Hazel Chicago
No Repeats, Day 15 (the halfway point!)
I like all of the pieces in today's outfit, but the boots don't seem to work with these pants. Is it just me? I feel like flats may have been a better choice given the length of the pants, though not really an option with all the snow and slush on the ground. Fortunately I have the rest of the week to work on casual outfits. I spent today and yesterday running errands and catching up with all the things I don't have time for while I'm working, like doctor's appointments and lunch with friends. I can't believe I'll be back to work in less than a week. Ugh.
If you're taking time off, how is your much-needed break going? If not, do you get a break soon?
Cardigan & tee: Loft
Pants: New York & Company
Boots: Kohl's
Necklace: Embellish, gift from Fella
I also really like all the elements of the second outfit. What about your converse with it instead of boots?
ReplyDeleteI'm not likely to be able to take a break until the spring semester ends in May. I was hoping to take some time off during this break between terms, but a project that had been on hold got the green light at the beginning of December, and the deadline is fast approaching.
The second outfit is especially great. I like the cutaway cardigan shape on you, and the pants and boots aren't overtly bad. Sometimes keeping your feet warm and dry wins over the perfect shoe/hemline combo, right?
ReplyDeleteI like your casual dress look.
ReplyDeleteSince I took a vacation earlier this month, I'm not taking time off for the holidays.
Haha, I totally get the kindergarten teacher vibe. I think it's the romper esque look with the turtleneck.
ReplyDeleteI often struggle with the line between casual and business casual...
Chic on the Cheap
The No Repeats has been hardest when trying to just be casual around the house during vacation!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be doing well with the challenge and today's look with the purple cardigan is perfect for a day of errands, without jeans!
The Auspicious Life
The difference between the two outfits is amazing, Anne. In the second one, you look ten pounds lighter. I used to wear a lot of jumpers until my son started calling them my "teacher clothes." You hit the nail with this one!
ReplyDeleteI quite like the first outfit. The second outfit is more professional and sleek, but the first one is fun and comfortable, in a bright and fun way.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I think my first break in a long time will be my spring break, which comes in April. No break for me so far!
