Warning - long post ahead! I seem to have lots to say today.

Monday: skinny jeans, white cowl-neck tshirt, grey sweater, blue sneakers, and my newly altered black biker jacket.

I've feedback from the forum that my more casual shoes don't look great with many of my outfits, so I tried to put together an outfit where the sneakers would work. Sorry about the reflective piping on the sneakers that looks bad with the flash. I was so excited to wear the jacket for the first time! I put in a couple photos of the sleeves for Cathie (cciele), who was asking about shortening zippered sleeves. The tailor shortened cut the zipper and re-finished the sleeves - I think it came out very well.

Tuesday: microcheck pants, blue tunic top, jean jacket, long pearls, Me Too flats.

I did have one problem with this outfit - wearing the pearls with two loops, with one strand knotted, did not work well when I was teaching! The knotted strand gradually slid lower and lower and I felt like I was being strangled by the tighter, un-knotted strand. I switched to just one loop on the pearls and felt much better.

Wednesday: jeans, red camisole, red polka dotted top, black long cardigan, Keen shoes.

This wasn't the most inspired day but it was comfortable.

Thursday: jeans, printed top, brown corduroy Halogen blazer (from the Nordstrom sale), brown shoes.

Kari just posted about getting the yellow version of this blazer - this was my first time wearing mine. I really liked it with the printed top, and I LOVE the way the flare on the back of this jacket makes me look like I have a butt!

Friday: Classiques Entier sheath dress, stirrup leggings, long cardigan, Oxfords.

This outfit was inspired by Kristen, who had just posted about this dress from Nordstrom. It reminded me that I hadn't yet worn my identical dress! My partner was in town and we had a date night planned, so it seemed like a good excuse. I asked him help me choose how to wear the dress, and he chose the Anthropologie Oxfords! I thought they were fun with the stirrup leggings. I'm not sure how well the cardigan works - I think Kristen's cardigan was more fitted and shorter, and that looked a lot better than my baggy cardigan. Maybe I should try it with a belt.

You look great. You always inspire.
Your partner has great taste to help you choose an outfit. My hubby would not be interested in doing that at all. He likes for me to dress him. He says, "What do you want me to wear?" When I ask him if he likes something I am wearing he doesn't have a clue. It's pretty funny. Gives me alot of freedom in what I choose to wear I guess.
I love your sweaters and jackets and shoes, and everything. You are getting a great collection of fun wardrobe pieces and well on your way to a classic yet fun and a bit funky wardrobe. IMO anyway. What are your wardrobe inspiration words? Are classic, fun, funky in there?

The jacket alteration came out great! Looks awesome!

Love all your outfits, as usual! Absolutely love the sheath with stirrup leggings and Anthro shoes! Your partner has a good eye for fashion!

Oh, I forgot one question - do you think that the jean jacket needs to be altered? I am worried that it is too boxy and loose.

It doesn't seem boxy to me and remeber that in the winter you may want to use it with a more thick blouse.. love the way you paired the denin jacket with the pearls!

You rock the biker jacket! Awesome! I love the printed top under the Halogen blazer. Great fall colors that are very flattering on you...and the jacket does accentuate some perky action in the back. :o)

Wow Medusa, you look so good! Every outfit is great, I can not pick a favorite. Love you in a biker jacket!

Medusa, you have the most wonderful selection of jackets, I'm positively green with envy. I'm also loving your oxfords.

You manage to look very pulled together in an effortless way, again I may be turning sage.

You look FANTASTIC, Medusa! The biker jacket is KILLER. So stunning on you. Love your renewed style :0)

I am *really* digging the frock outfit with the shoes. Good grief. ORBIT TAKE OFF……I am stealing that outfit right now. Don’t call the police.

Nice week! I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of your keens. I'm not universally opposed to sneakers but I do feel those are extra hard to style well. I like the other sneakers you've posted much better and I think you've done a great job on the outfit for them.

I LOVE the outfit with the pearls.

Date night outfit is so fun. Those shoes are amazing. I like the sweater with it. I think I might like it better than sweater-less with the leggings.

I think the jean jacket looks good.

Thanks everyone, I love getting your feedback.

San, I didn't answer your question about the wardrobe words because I don't know what mine are. I think I have some kind of fashion-language dyslexic-type problem - I have a hard time figuring out what words go with style things. I've been trying to think of good words ever since it was first suggested, maybe I should do a post on it at some point.
