Kristen outfits Sept 19-25

Last weekend: ChewySpaghetti was talking about about the difficulty in highlighting one's waist while still camouflaging any rolls or lumps in that area. I suggested a heavier tee that doesn't cling, and I wore an example of it in Saturday's outfit. Sunday was more boot-shopping and it was still in the 70s, so I wore a summer knit dress with a darker cardigan to "autumn it up".

Monday: It was grey and dreary, and I followed suit with a grey bf sweater, long black ponte pants, and my white Gap ruffled tank belted with a thin silver belt. But my cat stole the show in the photos, LOL!

Tuesday: This was my favorite of the week; I mixed up some wardrobe basics (red pump, aubergine sheath, grey sweater) and added in two pieces I don't use enough (mixed-stone necklace, black woven belt). I felt like I pushed my envelope with this.

Wednesday: The dark plume AT sheath was the centerpiece of the outfit, but I added nude heels and the mustared yoked sweater to balance it out. It's not a dress that works well with a necklace, which was a new experience for me. I thought the yoked detail of the sweater and the gold cuff was a good counterpoint to that though.

Thursday: Really not happy with how the photos turned out in this, but I liked the colors and the comfort of this outfit. It's funny how I can really see that pants hemmed for flats is not my best look at all; good thing I only have a couple of pairs like that these days!

Friday: And this outfit proves my point. These are the Semantiks suit pants, extra-long, and they make my legs go on for miles, not that stumpier look of Thursday. I loved the simplicity of this outfit; the cream tee and faux-lace pattern of the Target sweater worked really well together.

Heh, there was a lot of grey this week, and many pieces you will be seeing in this week's Wardrobe Capsule challenge! That's the beauty of a small closet, and of having versatile pieces. It's taken me a while to let that sink in.

Lovely week Kristen. My favourites were Wed ( because of course I love the sheath) and Fri -well - your title said it all. (Also made me think of trying black lace cardi I have over white - had never occurred to me)

First, CONGRATULATIONS on your awesome 5K. 38 mins is very impressive!!! Way to go girl!

FABULOUS week Kristen! I love your demonstration of how waistless can still look fab esp. in casual mode. I'm still looking for the perfect cascading/flyaway cardi for short, busty me. My favourite outfit of the week is the one with the new AT dress. I love the simplicity, the colors and your fantastic nude heels. I just simply adore you in dresses!

And your cat is too funny!!!! So adorable :-)

Kristen, great week! I love Monday's photo. Your kitty wants to be in the photo, so cute.

Honestly every day is great. I think my favorites are Tuesday because I love the dress and necklace combination, and Wednesday because wow, that sheath is great. (Do you mind if I ask where you got it? Maybe you posted about this earlier but I missed it.) I love your Friday sweater as well. Fabulous.

Great week and congratulations on your 5k! all the outfits look great this week. where did you get the shoes on Thursday's post?

Medusa, I got the sheath at AT; it just came out a couple weeks ago. It's got a gorgeous exposed zipper at the back too.

Agrace, I ended up not doing any Target dress posts because they were all horrible and were returned. I was so disappointed!

Bella, the pointy black flats are from DSW. They have a great ribboned leather on the toe, like ribbon candy but it gets smaller from big to little toe. I will take a close-up of them and check the label name, because I love them. They're very comfortable despite having no support. :)

Thanks for the kind words on the 5K, all! I've been getting some ribbing here at the office about it; I did it with one of my co-workers, who smoked me and finished TWELVE MINUTES faster than I did. LOL, I guess I deserve the ribbing; I was very slow. But I finished, so neener neener. :P

Kristen, for some reason I continually cannot access your blog properly from the forum. It freezes (sad face). Anyone else have this problem?

I LOVE your kitty! She is adorable!

What a fantastic week Kristen! I love how you mix it all up. My favorite is your fave too, the Tuesday outfit. Love the red shoes with the purple dress!

Aww, Angie, I'm sorry. I'm able to get to the links so I don't know what is wrong.

Here is the Flickr set so you can see the photos at least. That's pretty much all you need anyway. :)

Thanks, Tanya; you've been a huge inspiration to me as I've been losing weight and gaining style. :) I love the way you mix up your signature pieces; you have amazing style!

Kristen, I realize now that you said the dress was from AT in your post - sorry for being dense and missing that. Thanks for telling me anyway, I'm going to watch that dress to see if it goes on sale.

Thank you, Kristen! You are fab. Nice that Tanya inspires you :0)

Another fabulous week with the best rosy cheeks! LOVE the purple frock with the red shoes ! But the navy frock and yellow cardi steals the show. KILLER. It’s just *so classy*.

You have great style and are shrinking by the nano second. You also seem to look younger each time you post. Where is the fountain of youth? I want to drink some of that mooty too.

Ohhh my goodness you look amazing!! Your outfits are so classy. Tuesday is brilliant, and I LOVE the color of the sheath for Wednesday! Your Friday outfit is to die for in my opinion!

And your cat? Possibly the best camera accessory ever. :p
