Wednesday: Capsule Wardrobe Challenge

Hands down, this has been my favorite outfit this week. I was worried the skirt was too short with the boots (I work in a conservative environment) but I just love this look and I really wanted to try it myself. I forgot, the department I was meeting with today is made up of relatively young females. They practically squealed when they saw my outfit! Heh, now that's a nice vote of confidence.

Dress: brown-purple-black pattern dress, Marshalls
Top: reversible black long-sleeve top, Talbots (worn Monday)
Sweater: purple silk-cotton boyfriend cardigan, AT (worn Tuesday)
Boots: black Franco Sarto flat cowboy wingtips

My necklace was part of the 3-in-1 multi-stone I've been wearing all this week. It can be one long, or two shorts or bracelets. This is the first time I wore it as a choker; it's not my favorite style of necklace but I like it with this outfit.



I had to do another swap yesterday, after I had taken my photos. I walked out the door and it was FREEZING. So I finally got up the nerve to cut the tags off my NAS leather jacket from Kenneth Cole, and I wore that. This is how it looked.



Naturally, I wore it again today.



I'm not so sure the jacket goes with the black boots, but I had no other options. The brown boots lost a zipper pull on Monday, so I took them back to Von Maur tonight so they could be repaired (for free!) Which is excellent, except now they will be unavailable for possibly a couple of weeks. Yeesh. Anyway, I didn't want to wear the flats I had selected for the challenge, I wanted to keep wearing boots. So I swapped the flats for these new beauties, which are SO AWESOME. I love the detail on them, and they are ridiculousy comfortable. I think I could wear these or the brown ones every day this winter and I would die a happy woman.





Yes, this was definitely my favorite day so far. George's too!
