Not Wearing Jeans

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?
