Don't you hate those days, Jenny? Inevitably all sorts of challenges pile up like an avalanche. Hopefully, your morning didn't influence the rest of the day.

I think you did a great job with the challenge. Those givenchy tights are out of this world wonderful. That outfit was by far my favorite.

I can't believe your $1 boots. Lucky!

I think you did very well even if you have to give it up on Friday. I love all your outfits. These outfits are all super flattering on you and very classy. The tights on Thursday are out of this world! Makes the business suit instantly cool and exciting.

Thanks for playing!

I think you still get an award for not calling in sick after having such a wardrobe malfunction
You looked fabulous all week! I'm impressed that you got 4 days in a row out of that skirt, and I don't think I would have even noticed it if I didn't know about the capsule challenge.

Jenny, that's too bad about the sweater. Is it salvageable? I hate it when my accessories & clothes conspire to destroy each other - I've had rough leather purses that did pulled similar stunts.

Confession: though I *did* count my handbag towards my accessories, I really think of purses as more like "luggage" or functional items rather than an accessory item that contributes towards my outfit as a whole. I tend to use the same purse for weeks/months on end because it's too much of a pain to swap them frequently.

I think you looked fantastic all week, and I'm especially enamored of Thursday - that is a GORGEOUS, classy outfit and I adore that patterned hose!

I am VERY impressed. In fact, I'm blown away. I'm giving you a KILLER rating for this challenge even if it's incomplete. This is the best set of outfits I've seen you post and my toes are tickled.

Jenny, you are our 2010 Wonder Woman :0)

You look great Jenny! Bummer about Friday, but sometimes these things just happen don't they...

Every time I see a pic of you I think how polished you always look - its very inspiring.

Vani

Steal away Jenny! Oh my, you look utterly stylish every single day! I HEART the Thursday outfit. I so want to copy that. I wish I could look so stylish after a morning of so many wardrobe malfunctions.

Oh Jenny, sorry to hear about friday morning chaos, but you know what all the items were a substitute for something already on the list, so your challenge totally counts!
My favorite outfits are Tuesday and Thursday. Red looks great on you!
