No Repeats Catch-up, with a side of awkward

OK, so the past couple days have been busy and productive, but I didn't always take a picture, so please accept my reproduction of some outfits from last Saturday to today, although I hope to pick out a winner outfit for going out tonight (train service in my neighborhood is supposedly back to normal). 
Since I didn't take photos for a few days, I think I lost my picture mojo.  I feel awkwarder in these photos that I have in a while.  But hey, I'm OK with a little awkward. 





I basically wore various reiterations of this outfit several times since Thursday.  I figure if I'm wearing an actual waistband, it's not totally schlubby.  Look at that pink!  (My ma bought it for me)
Skirt: Swap via Pineapple Mint Vintage
Top: Junior's department of Dillards
Sweater: Uniqlo


This used to be my go-to traveling outfit.  Although I didn't have jeggings until this spring, so I just wore regular leggings.  Doesn't this look a bit like something that lovely Rebeca or Chalkdust and Boots might wear?  I thought about a belt, but decided that I like the long lines of the tunic. 
Sweater/tunic: Old Navy
Jeggings: Hue (via Alamo Shoes, Chicago)
Boots: Born

This is my Style Underdog outfit. She rocks the Target tunic like no one's business.  Uh, perhaps this is shorter than I thought it was (it looked longer in the mirror.)  I would like to wear this out tonight to meet friends but I need to weatherproof myself first.  I picked up the tunic during the blogger meet-up with jesse.anne.o and WhatIWore this past summer and I haven't worn it yet (it's an awkward length.  Awkward is my theme of the day).

Tunic: Thakoon for Target
Belt: Swapbox from Pineapple Mint Vintage
Tight: Target
Thermal shirt: Uniqlo (it works!)
Boots: MIA
Hat: Brooklyn Industries

And finally, my failure outfit.  Worn today.  I just can't get this to look not terribly nerdy.  I tried first with summery jeans, but I looked so bottom heay and stumpy that I tried on jeggings (my other darker jeans are dirty and all stretched out).


If there's one thing that GAAD has taught me, it's that I'm in dire need of a pair of flattering, non-skinny dark wash jeans for everyday use.  I dig skinny jeans/jeggings, but sometimes a fuller pair of pants works better.  Well, July is only 7 months away.

Shirt: Vintage, via Beacon's Closet
Belt: swap from PMV
Cardigan: thrifted
Jeggings: Hue, via Alamo Shoes
Boots: Born
Jeans: BVD (very old), via UO

Hope everyone has a happy last Wednesday of 2010!  I'm working/editing/writing, and ocassionally sneaking in bits of "The Tudors" on Netflix instant demand (I need carrots and sticks sometimes).  How are you spending today?
