Wardrobe Capsule Challenge - Day 4

Here's today's outfit.

Skirt, shoes, earrings & beads were repeated, new cami, top and belt. It was super windy today, so having a second layer was doable...

I've discovered 2 things this week...

1 - I feel REALLY restricted with so few accessories! I have never really been one for accessories, but now I am absolutely loving them so only 2 necklaces is hard for me to deal with... gosh I'd probably only worn a necklace twice in the past 6 months pre-YLF!

2 - I feel really "trapped" in this stripey top - and almost all button downs for that matter - I knew I didn't wear the ones I have but could never pinpoint why that was - well, actually making myself wear this one all day allowed me to live with it feel it and work it all out LOL I feel so strict, restrained, suffocated almost... I definitely prefer knits - I think I feel more "free" in them. Prob why I like my button down tunic too - its feels more like a dress, so more free...

And interestingly, I think that's the story of my life at the moment - I'd been with my ex-H for almost 12 years, and now 18mths after we separated, I'm finally finding myself and feeling so very FREE...

Now, not sure if tomorrow's outfit will happen or not - have a sick little cherub tonight and if she's no better tomorrow she wont be going to school so I can have a jammie day LOL

very cute outfit. You're doing a great job mixing up your stuff.
I agree- accessories are a great way to add pizazz and it would be really hard to restrict myself.
Woven's can be hard to move comfortably in.. I think that's why mom's of small children gravitate toward knits. The way you have that worn as an over jacket is cute though and probably less restricting than if it were all buttoned up.
you're doing a marvelous job with this challenge Theresa!

This is cute! I know you don't like the button down but it adds a bit of dressy factor to this outfit. The red beads are a pretty touch and your sandals are fun. Nicely styled!

I really like your hair today. Please post a round-up at the end of the week so we can see all the outfits together!

Thanks everybody!

Those beads are my all time favourite at the moment - and they were super cheap when I bought them ($5 I think!), so they have definitely worked out to be a great purchase.

I think the thing with the button downs is a tiny bit mobility, but not so much - especially because this particular one has a high elastane content, and was undone, so not restricting at all. I think they remind me of uniforms - school/work etc - and just aren't "fun" enough for me...

Might need to ponder on this one a little more...

Bella I will post a round up now
