WIWW #4

I’m linking with What I Wore Wednesday over at The Pleated Poppy.  I’m completely addicted to seeing what everyone is wearing!

 ***We are experiencing  a “monster storm”—ice storm then a blizzard with 16-20 inches of snow—which probably means a power outage so I am posting my WIWW on Tuesday..…just in case. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tried a cardigan with this, but I decided the stripes could stand on their own.  It is truly amazing how just adding a scarf or an accessory can make it seem like an “outfit” instead of just pants and a shirt! (At least that’s what I told myself when I added the scarf.) I feel like I’m channeling Amelia Earhart in this look!

striped shirt: Forever 21

scarf: Walmart

skinny cargos: Old Navy

boots: Target

I am subbing this afternoon, so this is my “teacher” outfit.  It’s pretty much exactly what I wore a few weeks ago, only different colors.  I’m all for sticking with what works! 

Cardigan & Polka Dot Shirt: Old Navy

trouser jeans (that look like black pants but are actually jeans) & boots: Target

I went thrifting the other day (I need to write a post about thrifting) and found this sweater for $2.50.  I’m still not sure about it because I think it could easily drop over into the “old-lady” category.  It came with a matching white tie belt, but I kind of hate tie belts on me.  I was drawn to the sleeves.  I figured for $2.50, I could take a chance. 

Sweater: thrifted

gray t-shirt & skinny jeans: Sears

boots: Walmart

necklace: Forever 21

belt: Target

***Added note: I received several compliments on the sweater today—one of them from my sister who is the most fashionable person I know and shops pretty much exclusively at Anthropologie—so I say the sweater is a keeper!

This sweater is actually the Christmas gift I gave my sister.  I wish I would have bought one for myself because I just love the burst of color.  I borrowed it from her while she was visiting.  (I took this pic at the end of the day and I can’t help but notice that I look a little haggard.  Note to self—refresh before the end of the day if taking photos of self.)

Sweater & belt: Forever 21

Shirt: Kohls

skinny jeans: Old Navy

boots: Target

necklace: made by me

Here I am copying off Jill again.  (Check her out at Good Life For Less) I keep a picture file on my computer of outfits that I like.  When I need an idea, I just check them out and try to put it together with what I have.  Not a chance that I would have come up with this one on my own.  So, thank you Jill! 

Cardigan: Gap Outlet (quickly becoming a regular in my wardrobe!)

Shirt, Cargo Pants: Old Navy

Belt: Walmart

Clogs: Target

And that is (most) of what I wore this week.  Thanks for stopping by!  If you are like me here in Central Illinois and buried under ice and snow right now, please be safe!
